Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Ruxolitinib Cream in Children With Atopic Dermatitis (TRuE-AD3) (NCT NCT04921969)

NCT ID: NCT04921969

Last Updated: 2025-03-28

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 330 participants were enrolled at 48 study centers in the United States and Canada.

Participants who completed Week 8 assessments of the Vehicle-controlled (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.

VC Period: Vehicle Cream BID
Participants received ruxolitinib matching vehicle cream, applied topically to the affected areas as a thin film twice daily (BID) 8 hours apart from Day 1 up to Week 8. Participants applied cream BID to areas identified at Baseline even if the areas improved.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Week 8

Population: Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population: all participants who were randomized to the study. Treatment groups for this population were defined according to the treatment assignment at the time of randomization.

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.

Timeframe: Baseline to Week 8

Population: ITT Population. Only those participants who were at least 6 years of age and had a Baseline Itch NRS Score ≥4 were included in the analysis.

The Itch NRS is a daily participant-reported measure (24-hour recall) of the worst level of itch intensity using a diary. Participants were asked to rate the itching severity because of their AD by selecting the number from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst imaginable itch) that best described their worst level of itching in the past 24 hours.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Day 7 (Week 1)

Population: ITT Population. Only those participants who were at least 6 years of age and had a Baseline Itch NRS Score ≥4 were included in the analysis. Missing Day 7 Itch scores were imputed by Multiple Imputation with Fully Conditional Specification. The multiple imputation method used treatment and observed stratification factors, Baseline, and post-Baseline Day 1 to Day 7 Itch NRS Score as predicators.

The Itch NRS is a daily participant-reported measure (24-hour recall) of the worst level of itch intensity using a diary. Participants were asked to rate the itching severity because of their AD by selecting the number from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst imaginable itch) that best described their worst level of itching in the past 24 hours.

Population: Safety Population: all randomized participants who applied ruxolitinib cream or vehicle cream at least once. Treatment groups for this population were determined according to the actual treatment the participant applied on Day 1.

An adverse event was defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not it was considered drug related. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable or unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of study cream. A TEAE is defined as any AE either reported for the first time or the worsening of a pre-existing event after the first dose of study drug until the end of the safety follow-up.

Population: Safety Population

A TEAE is defined as any AE either reported for the first time or the worsening of a pre-existing event after the first dose of study drug until the end of the safety follow-up. The severity of AEs will be assessed using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0 Grades 1 through 5. The investigator made an assessment of intensity for each AE and SAE reported during the study and assigned it to 1 of the following categories: Grade 1: mild; asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; treatment not indicated. Grade 2: moderate; minimal, local, or noninvasive treatment indicated; limiting age-appropriate activities of daily living. Grade 3: severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self-care activities of daily living. Grade 4: life-threatening consequences; urgent treatment indicated; Grade 5: fatal.

A TEAE is defined as any AE either reported for the first time or the worsening of a pre-existing event after the first dose of study drug until the end of the safety follow-up. The severity of AEs will be assessed using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0 Grades 1 through 5. The investigator made an assessment of intensity for each AE and SAE reported during the study and assigned it to 1 of the following categories: Grade 1: mild; asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; treatment not indicated. Grade 2: moderate; minimal, local, or noninvasive treatment indicated; limiting age-appropriate activities of daily living. Grade 3: severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self-care activities of daily living. Grade 4: life-threatening consequences; urgent treatment indicated; Grade 5: fatal.

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.

Population: ITT Population. Only those participants who were at least 6 years of age and had a Baseline Itch NRS Score ≥4 were included in the analysis.

The Itch NRS is a daily participant-reported measure (24-hour recall) of the worst level of itch intensity using a diary. Participants were 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 described their worst level of itching in the past 24 hours.

Population: ITT Population

The EASI scoring system examines 4 areas of the body (head/neck, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs) and weights them for participants of ≥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; 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.
