- Proportion of subjects with HPA axis suppression at Day 15 [ Time Frame: Day 15 ]The proportion of subjects with abnormal cortisol response for ACTH stimulation test at Day 15 (cortisol level ≤18 µg/dL at 30 minutes post stimulation) is the primary variable
- Change in IGA grade [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Day 15 ]IGA grades will be recorded at all visits and provided as descriptive statistics to show change from Baseline.
