Trial Outcomes & Findings for TRuE AD2 - An Efficacy and Safety Study of Ruxolitinib Cream in Adolescents and Adults With Atopic Dermatitis (NCT NCT03745651)

NCT ID: NCT03745651

Last Updated: 2023-09-28

Results Overview

The IGA is an overall eczema severity rating on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (clear skin) to 4 (severe disease). The score is based on an overall assessment of the degree of erythema, induration/papulation, and oozing/crusting. The IGA-TS is defined as an IGA score of 0 (clear skin) or 1 (almost clear skin) with ≥ 2 grade improvement from Baseline.

Participant Flow

A total of 618 participants were enrolled at 65 investigative sites in North America and Europe from December 20, 2018 to November 09, 2020.

Participants who completed Week 8 assessments of the Vehicle Control (VC) Period with no safety concerns continued in the 44-week Long Term Safety (LTS) Period. Participants who were on active treatment during the VC Period continued with the same treatment regimen in the LTS Period and those who applied vehicle cream during the VC Period were equally randomized into 1 of the 2 active treatment groups: ruxolitinib 0.75%, ruxolitinib 1.5% cream during the LTS Period.

Population: ITT population included all participants who were randomized to the study. Data from participants enrolled at Site 461 were excluded.

EASI scoring system examines 4 areas of the body (head/neck, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs) and weights them for participants of at least 8 years of age. Each of the 4 body regions is assessed separately for erythema (E), induration/papulation/edema (I), excoriations (Ex), and lichenification (l) each on a scale of 0 to 3 (0 = none, absent; 1 = mild; 2 = moderate; 3 = severe). Half scores are allowed between severities 1, 2 and 3. The final EASI score was obtained by weight-averaging these 4 scores and will range from 0 to 72 and the severity strata 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. An EASI75 responder was defined as a participant achieving 75% or greater improvement from Baseline in EASI score.

Population: ITT population included all participants who were randomized to the study. Data from participants enrolled at Site 461 were excluded. Number analyzed included participants in the ITT population with a Baseline Itch NRS score ≥ 4.

The Itch NRS is a daily participant-reported measure (24-hour recall), of the worst level of itch intensity using a diary. Participants are asked 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 PROMIS Short Form - Sleep Disturbance (8b) questionnaire assesses participant's self-reported perceptions of sleep quality, sleep depth, and restoration associated with sleep. This questionnaire is completed in the morning by the participant where each item asks the participant to rate the severity of the participant's sleep disturbance. It is a 5-point scale with a range in score from 8 to 40, with higher scores indicating greater severity of sleep disturbance.

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug-related. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of study treatment. A SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose 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 or an important medical event may be considered serious when, based on appropriate medical judgment, the event may jeopardize the participant and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above. A TEAE or treatment emergent SAE is any AE or SAE either reported for first time or worsening of a pre-existing event after first dose of study drug.

The IGA is an overall eczema severity rating on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (clear skin) to 4 (severe disease). The score is based on an overall assessment of the degree of erythema, induration/papulation, and oozing/crusting. The IGA-TS is defined as an IGA score of 0 (clear skin) or 1 (almost clear skin) with ≥ 2 grade improvement from Baseline.

EASI scoring system examines 4 areas of the body (head/neck, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs) and weights them for participants of at least 8 years of age. Each of the 4 body regions is assessed separately for erythema (E), induration/papulation/edema (I), excoriations (Ex), and lichenification (l) each on a scale of 0 to 3 (0 = none, absent; 1 = mild; 2 = moderate; 3 = severe). Half scores are allowed between severities 1, 2 and 3. The final EASI score was obtained by weight-averaging these 4 scores and will range from 0 to 72 and the severity strata 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 SCORAD is a tool to assess extent and severity of eczema. To determine the extent, the rule of nines or handprint method is used to assess eczema affected area (A). To determine disease severity (B) it evaluates 6 clinical characteristics: 1. redness, 2. swelling, 3. oozing/crusting, 4. scratch marks, 5. lichenification, and 6. dryness on a 4-point scale of 0 to 3 (0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe), added to give B with maximum score of 18. Subjective symptoms (C) of itch and sleeplessness are assessed using a visual analogue scale where 0 is no itch (or no sleeplessness) and 10 is the worst imaginable itch (or sleeplessness), added to give C with maximum score of 20. These 3 aspects: extent of disease (A: 0-1-2), disease severity (B: 0-18), \& subjective symptoms (C: 0-20) combined using A/5 + 7\*B/2+ C to give a maximum possible score of 103, where 0 = no disease and 103 = severe disease. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

Timeframe: Up to Week 8

Population: ITT population included all participants who were randomized to the study. Data from participants enrolled at Site 461 were excluded. Number analyzed included participants in the ITT population with a Baseline Itch NRS score ≥ 2, ≥ 3 or ≥ 4 and a daily Itch NRS assessment during the VC Period.

The Itch NRS is a daily participant-reported measure (24-hour recall), of the worst level of itch intensity using a diary. Participants are asked 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. Kaplan-Meier estimation method was used for analyses.

Body surface area affected by AD was 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 was assessed for disease extent ranging from 0% to 100% involvement. The overall total percentage was 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\*BSA head and neck + 0.3\*BSA trunk + 0.2\* BSA upper limbs + 0.4\*BSA lower limbs.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Weeks 2, 4 and 8

Population: ITT population included all participants who were randomized to the study. Data from participants enrolled at Site 461 were excluded. Number analyzed is the number of participants with data available for analyses at the specified time point.

The POEM is a 7-question quality-of-life assessment that asks how many days the participant has been bothered by various aspects of their skin condition during the past 7 days. It 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. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

The DLQI is a simple, 10 question (Q) validated quality-of-life questionnaire to measure how much the skin problem has affected the participant. It covers 6 domains including symptoms and feelings (Q1 and Q2), daily activities (Q3 and Q4), leisure (Q5 and Q6), work and school (Q7), personal relationships (Q8 and Q9), and treatment(Q10). The recall Period of this scale is over the last week. Response categories include 0-not at all, 1-a little, 2-a lot, and 3-very much, and unanswered or not relevant responses scored as 0. Scores range from 0 ("no impact on participant's life") to 30 ("extremely large effect on participant's life"), and a 4-point change from Baseline is considered as the minimal clinically important difference threshold. A negative change from Baseline indicates less impact of the skin problem on participant's life.

Population: ITT population included all participants who were randomized to the study. Data from participants enrolled at Site 461 were excluded. Number analyzed is the number of participants with data available for analyses at the specified time point.

The PGIC is a participants' self-reporting measure that reflects their belief about the efficacy of treatment. It is a 7-point scale where participants rate the questions as: 1=very much improved, 2=much improved, 3=minimally improved, 4=no change, 5=minimally worse, 6=much worse, and 7=very much worse. The lower score indicates improvement.

EQ-5D-5L questionnaire has 2 parts: EQ-5D-5L descriptive system \& EQ-VAS. EQ-5D is a validated, self-administered, generic utility questionnaire wherein participants rate their current health state based on 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. 5L indicates that for each dimension, there are 5 levels:1=no problems,2=slight problems,3=moderate problems,4=severe problems, and 5=extreme problems. EQ-5D-5L score is assessed using VAS that ranges from 0 to 100 millimetres (mm), where 0 indicates "worst health you can imagine" and 100 indicates "best health you can imagine". The participant was asked to indicate his/her health state over past 7 days in each of the 5 dimensions. Digits for the 5 dimensions can be combined into a 5-digit number that describes the participant's health state. In the EQ-VAS, participants had to record their health state on a scale ranging from 0 to 100. A positive change from Baseline indicates improvement.
