Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of participants achieving a 75% reduction in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) (EASI 75) from Baseline [ Time Frame: At Week 16 ]
    The EASI is a validated measure used in clinical practice and clinical trials to assess the severity and extent of atopic dermatitis (AD).


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percent change in worst pruritus numerical rating scale (NRS) [ Time Frame: From Baseline (Week 0) to Week 16 ]
    The Worst Pruritus NRS is an assessment tool that participants used to report the intensity of their pruritus during a 24-hour recall period.

  2. Percentage of participants achieving a 100% reduction in EASI (EASI 100) [ Time Frame: At Week 16 ]
    The EASI is a validated measure used in clinical practice and clinical trials to assess the severity and extent of AD.

  3. Percentage of participants achieving a 90% reduction in EASI (EASI 90) [ Time Frame: At Week 16 ]
    The EASI is a validated measure used in clinical practice and clinical trials to assess the severity and extent of AD.

  4. Percent change in worst pruritus NRS [ Time Frame: From Baseline (Week 0) to Week 4 ]
    The Worst Pruritus NRS is an assessment tool that participants used to report the intensity of their pruritus during a 24-hour recall period.

  5. Percentage of participants achieving a 75% reduction in EASI (EASI 75) [ Time Frame: At Week 2 ]
    The EASI is a validated measure used in clinical practice and clinical trials to assess the severity and extent of AD.

  6. Percent change in worst pruritus NRS [ Time Frame: From Baseline (Week 0) to Week 1 ]
    The Worst Pruritus NRS is an assessment tool that participants used to report the intensity of their pruritus during a 24-hour recall period.
