Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Ruxolitinib Phosphate Cream Applied Topically to Adults With Atopic Dermatitis (NCT NCT03011892)

NCT ID: NCT03011892

Last Updated: 2021-04-09

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). The EASI score examines 4 areas of the body and weights them for participants 8 years of age and older as follows: Head/Neck (H) = 0.1, Upper limbs (UL) = 0.2, Trunk (T) = 0.3, and Lower limbs (LL) = 0.4. The severity strata for the EASI are as follows: 0 = clear; 0.1 to 1.0 = almost clear; 1.1 to 7.0 = mild; 7.1 to 21.0 = moderate; 21.1 to 50.0 = severe; 50.1 to 72.0 = very severe. The total EASI score for each region is calculated by multiplying the severity score by the area score, with adjustment for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. 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

A total of 307 participants were randomized and 306 were treated at 50 study centers in the United States and Canada from 9 January 2017 to 12 March 2018.

307 participants randomized to 6 treatment groups (ruxolitinib cream 1.5% BID, or QD, 0.5% or 0.15% QD, vehicle BID, \& TAC 0.1% BID). Participants applied blinded study drug for 8 weeks, TAC 0.1% BID for 4 weeks followed by vehicle BID for 4 weeks in DB period. After DB period, participants who met criteria (compliant with the protocol and no safety concerns) offered OL treatment with ruxolitinib 1.5% BID for 4 weeks. Out of 261 participants who completed DB Period, 252 entered the OL Period.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 4

Population: Participants from Intent to treat (ITT) population, all participants who are randomized to vehicle BID or ruxolitinib 1.5% BID, with available data were included in the analysis.

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). The EASI score examines 4 areas of the body and weights them for participants 8 years of age and older as follows: Head/Neck (H) = 0.1, Upper limbs (UL) = 0.2, Trunk (T) = 0.3, and Lower limbs (LL) = 0.4. The severity strata for the EASI are as follows: 0 = clear; 0.1 to 1.0 = almost clear; 1.1 to 7.0 = mild; 7.1 to 21.0 = moderate; 21.1 to 50.0 = severe; 50.1 to 72.0 = very severe. The total EASI score for each region is calculated by multiplying the severity score by the area score, with adjustment for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. 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 overall number of participants analyzed are participants with data available for analysis for this Outcome Measure and "n" signifies number of participants with data available at specific timepoint.

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). The EASI score examines 4 areas of the body and weights them for participants 8 years of age and older as follows: Head/Neck (H) = 0.1, Upper limbs (UL) = 0.2, Trunk (T) = 0.3, and Lower limbs (LL) = 0.4. The severity strata for the EASI are as follows: 0 = clear; 0.1 to 1.0 = almost clear; 1.1 to 7.0 = mild; 7.1 to 21.0 = moderate; 21.1 to 50.0 = severe; 50.1 to 72.0 = very severe. The total EASI score for each region is calculated by multiplying the severity score by the area score, with adjustment for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. 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 categorical variable EASI-50 will be equal to 1 for percentage improvement from baseline in EASI score of 50% or greater and will be equal to 0 for percentage improvement of less than 50%. This definition is introduced for the purpose of identifying participants who respond to the treatment (1 = responder, 0 = non-responder).

IGA is an assessment scale used to determine severity of atopic dermatitis (AD) and clinical response to treatment on a 5-point scale (0 = clear; 1 = almost clear; 2 = mild; 3 = moderate; 4 = severe) based on erythema and papulation/infiltration. Therapeutic response was an IGA score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear). An IGA responder was defined as a participant achieving an IGA score of 0 to 1 and an IGA score improvement at least 2 from baseline.

The Itch NRS is a once-per-24 hours ("daily") participant-reported measure of itch intensity to rate the itching severity because of their AD by selecting a number from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst imaginable itch) that best describes their worst level of itching in the past 24 hours. The categorical NRS is defined as 0 = None, 1 to 3 = Mild, 4 to 6 = Moderate, and 7 to 10 = Severe.

AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related, that occurs after a participant provides informed consent. The severity of AEs was assessed using CTCAE v4.03 Grades 1 through 4.Data are reported for Grade 3 and higher severity for this outcome measure.
