NCT ID: NCT03334422

Last Updated: 2020-01-22

Results Overview

The IGA measures the investigator's global assessment of the participants overall severity of their atopic dermatitis (AD), based on a static, numeric 5-point scale from 0 (clear skin) to 4 (severe disease). The score is based on an overall assessment of the degree of erythema, papulation/induration, oozing/crusting, and lichenification.

Timeframe: 16 Weeks

Population: All randomized participants.

The SCORAD index uses the rule of nines to assess disease extent and evaluates 6 clinical characteristics to determine disease severity: (1) erythema, (2) edema/papulation, (3) oozing/crusts, (4) excoriation, (5) lichenification, and (6) dryness on a scale of 0 to 3 (0=absence, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe). The SCORAD index also assesses subjective symptoms of pruritus and sleep loss with VAS where 0 is no itching or no trouble sleeping and 10 is unbearable Itching or lot of trouble sleeping. These 3 aspects: extent of disease (A: 0-1-2), disease severity (B: 0-18), \& subjective symptoms (C: 0-20) combine using A/5 + 7\*B/2+ C to give a maximum possible score of 103, where 0 = no disease and 103 = severe disease. The SCORAD75 responder is defined as a participant who achieves a ≥ 75% improvement from baseline in the SCORAD score.

Population: All randomized participants with a Week 16 ADSS Item 2 (frequency of waking) data.

Atopic Dermatitis Sleep Scale (ADSS) is a 3-item, participant-administered questionnaire developed to assess the impact of itch on sleep including difficulty falling asleep, frequency of waking, and difficulty getting back to sleep last night. Item 2, frequency of waking last night is reported by selecting the number of times they woke up each night, ranging from 0 to 29 times, where the higher a number indicates a worse outcome. The ADSS is designed to be completed daily, using a daily diary, with respondents thinking about sleep "last night." Each item is scored individually. LS Means were calculated using a MMRM model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity (IGA), visit, and treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical effects and baseline and baseline-by- visit-interaction as fixed continuous effects.

Population: All randomized participants with Week 16 BSA data.

Body surface area affected by AD will be assessed for 4 separate body regions and is collected as part of the EASI assessment: head and neck, trunk (including genital region), upper extremities, and lower extremities (including the buttocks). Each body region will be assessed for disease extent ranging from 0% to 100% involvement. The overall total percentage will be reported based off of all 4 body regions combined, after applying specific multipliers to the different body regions to account for the percent of the total BSA represented by each of the 4 regions. Use the percentage of skin affected for each region (0 to 100%) in EASI as follows: BSA Total = 0.1\*BSAhead and neck + 0.3\*BSAtrunk + 0.2\* BSAupper limbs + 0.4\*BSAlower limbs. LSMean were calculated using MMRM model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity (IGA), visit, and treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical effects and baseline and baseline-by-visit-interaction as fixed continuous effects.

Population: All randomized participants with week 16 Itch NRS data.

The Itch NRS is a participant-administered, 11-point horizontal scale, with 0 representing "no itch" and 10 representing "worst itch imaginable." Overall severity of a participant's itching is indicated by selecting the number, using a daily diary, that best describes the worst level of itching in the past 24 hours. LSMean were calculated using MMRM model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity (IGA), visit, \& treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical effects. Baseline and baseline-by-visit-interaction as fixed continuous effects.

Population: All randomized participants with week 16 POEM data.

The POEM is a 7-item self-assessment questionnaire that assesses disease symptoms (dryness, itching, flaking, cracking, sleep loss, bleeding and weeping) on a scale ranging from 0-4 (0 = no days, 1 = 1-2 days, 2 = 3-4 days, 3 = 5-6 days, 4 = everyday). The sum of the 7 items gives the total POEM score of 0 (absent disease) to 28 (severe disease). High scores are indicative of more severe disease and poor quality of life. LSMean were calculated using MMRM model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity (IGA), visit, \& treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical effects. Baseline and baseline-by-visit-interaction as fixed continuous effects.

Population: All randomized participants with week 16 DLQI data.

The DLQI is a simple, participant-administered, 10 question, validated, quality-of-life questionnaire that covers 6 domains: symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work and school, personal relationships, and treatment. The recall period of this scale is over the last "week." Response categories include "not at all," "a lot," and "very much," with corresponding scores of 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and unanswered ("not relevant") responses scored as "0." Scores range from 0 to 30 (less to more impairment), and a 4-point change from baseline is considered as the minimal clinically important difference threshold. LSMean were calculated using MMRM model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity (IGA), visit, \& treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical effects. Baseline and baseline-by-visit-interaction as fixed continuous effects.

Population: All randomized participants with week 16 EQ-5D-5L health state index US \& UK data.

EQ-5D-5L is a 2-part measurement. The first part is comprised of the following 5 participant-reported dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems. The responses are used to derive the health state index scores using the United Kingdom (UK) algorithm, with scores ranging from -0.594 to 1, and the United States (US) algorithm, with scores ranging from -0.109 to 1. A higher score indicates better health state. LSMean were calculated using MMRM model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity (IGA), visit, \& treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical effects. Baseline and baseline-by-visit-interaction as fixed continuous effects.
