Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy and Safety Study of Apremilast in Subjects With Moderate to Severe Atopic Dermatitis (NCT NCT02087943)
NCT ID: NCT02087943
Last Updated: 2020-05-07
Results Overview
EASI is a validated composite scoring system integrating the proportion of the body region (area) involved and the intensity of key signs of atopic dermatitis (AD). A representative lesion is selected for each of the four body regions for assessing the intensity of each of the four signs (erythema, induration /papulation, excoriation, and lichenification). Symptoms (eg, pruritus) and secondary signs (eg, xerosis, scaling) are excluded from the assessment. The total EASI score ranges from 0 to 72. A higher score indicated worse disease status, and a negative change from baseline indicated improvement.

Participant Flow
Treatment assignment was stratified by geographic region and within each region, by the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score (≤ 20 or \> 20). Six participants were excluded from analysis due to unsigned case books; a total of 185 participants were included in the final analyses.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Baseline to Week 12Population: All participants who were randomized as specified per protocol and who received at least one dose of IP with a baseline and at least 1 post baseline value at or before week 12; A missing value at Week 12 was imputed by last observation carried forward (LOCF), including the value obtained at the Early Termination Visit prior to Week 12.
EASI is a validated composite scoring system integrating the proportion of the body region (area) involved and the intensity of key signs of atopic dermatitis (AD). A representative lesion is selected for each of the four body regions for assessing the intensity of each of the four signs (erythema, induration /papulation, excoriation, and lichenification). Symptoms (eg, pruritus) and secondary signs (eg, xerosis, scaling) are excluded from the assessment. The total EASI score ranges from 0 to 72. A higher score indicated worse disease status, and a negative change from baseline indicated improvement.

The sPGA-A is intended to assess the global severities (ie, a "visual average" integrating all areas of AD) of key acute clinical signs of AD, including erythema, induration/papulation, oozing/crusting (lichenification excluded) based on a 5-point scale of cleared (0), almost cleared (1), mild (2), moderate (3) and severe (4).

The EASI 50 reduction (defined as ≥ 50% reduction from baseline in EASI score) was selected to serve as the key responder endpoint. A ≥ 50% improvement is clinically meaningful for this population.

Timeframe: Baseline to Week 4Population: All participants who were randomized as specified in the protocol and who received at least one dose of IP with a baseline and at least 1 postbaseline value at or before Week 4 were included. LOCF.
The participant completed a daily diary recording the average intensity of pruritus they experienced during the preceding 24 hrs. The intensity of pruritus was assessed using a validated 11-point NRS, ranging from 0 ("no pruritus") to 10 ("the worst pruritus imaginable"). It should be noted that this NRS is distinct from the pruritus, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) in the Modified SCORAD Index with respect to recall period (three days for the VAS). The weekly NRS score was calculated as the average of the NRS scores over 7 days within the specified week. A higher score indicated worse disease status, and a negative change from baseline indicated improvement.

A TEAE is an adverse event with a start date on or after the date of the first dose of IP and no later than 28 days after the last dose of IP for participants who discontinued early. An adverse event (AE) is any noxious, unintended, or untoward medical occurrence that may appear or worsen during the course of a study. It may be a new intercurrent illness, a worsening concomitant illness, an injury, or any concomitant impairment of the participant's health, including laboratory test values, regardless of etiology. Any worsening (ie, any clinically significant adverse change in the frequency or intensity of a pre existing condition) should be considered an AE. A serious AE is any which results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; constitutes an important medical event.
