- Reduction of worst itch in atopic dermatitis [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ]As rated by the Worst Itch-Numerical Rating Scale (WI-NRS). Patient responses will be measured on a scale from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst itch imaginable) over a period of 8 weeks.
- Improvement of disease severity in atopic dermatitis [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ]As rated by SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) index. Severity of atopic dermatitis will be measured on a scale from 0 (absent) to 103 (severe) over a period of 8 weeks.
- Improvement of disease severity in atopic dermatitis [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ]As rated by the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI). Severity of atopic dermatitis will be measured on a scale from 0 (absent) to 72 (severe) over a period of 8 weeks.
- Improvement of disease severity in atopic dermatitis [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ]As rated by the Validated Investigator Global Assessment scale for Atopic Dermatitis (vIGA-AD). Severity of atopic dermatitis will be measured on a scale from 0 (absent) to 4 (severe) over a period of 8 weeks.
- Safety and tolerability as measured by spontaneous reporting of adverse events (AEs) [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ]
