Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluating the Effects of Tradipitant vs. Placebo in Atopic Dermatitis (EPIONE) (NCT NCT03568331)

NCT ID: NCT03568331

Last Updated: 2024-05-13

Results Overview

Reduction of worst itch in atopic dermatitis as measured by Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). Worst Itch NRS is an assessment tool that is used to report the maximum intensity of participant's itch during a 24-hour recall period. Participants were asked the following question: Please rate the itching severity that describes your worst level of itching in the past 24 hours \[0=No Itch, 10=Worst Itch Imaginable\].

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 8 weeks

Population: All participants randomized (1:1) to placebo or tradipitant.

Worst Itch NRS is an assessment tool that is used to report the maximum intensity of participant's itch during a 24-hour recall period.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 8 weeks

Population: All participants randomized (1:1) to placebo or tradipitant.

Proportion of participants achieving 50% reduction on the SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) index. SCORAD is an assessment scale used to determine the severity of AD. SCORAD combines the investigator's rating of extent and intensity and the patient reported itch and sleep disturbance. Total score ranges from 0 (absent disease) to 103 (severe disease).

As measured by the validated Investigator Global Assessment for Atopic Dermatitis (vIGA-AD). IGA is an assessment scale used to determine severity of AD. It is assessed by the investigator on a 5-point scale (0=clear, 1=almost clear, 2=mild, 3=moderate, 4=severe) based on erythema, induration/papulation, lichenification, and oozing/crusting.
