Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Proportion of Subjects Who Achieve ≥75% Overall Improvement in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) Score From Baseline to Week 16.
Time Frame: Week16

Based on gross morphological findings, scores will be assigned on a 4-point scale ['0' (absent), '1' (mild), '2' (moderate) and '3' (severe)] for each clinical sign.

The information presented represents the percentage of subjects, calculated as the proportion of subjects multiplied by 100.

Week16

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Proportion of Subjects Who Achieve Score of '0' (Clear) or '1' (Almost Clear) on a 5-point, vIGA Scale and ≥2 Point Reduction From Baseline to Week 16.
Time Frame: Week 16

Based on morphological findings (overall appearance of the lesions at a given time point), scores will be assigned on a 5-point scale ('0' [clear] to 4 [severe]).

The information presented represents the percentage of subjects, calculated as the proportion of subjects multiplied by 100.

Week 16
Percent Change in Mean Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) Score
Time Frame: Week 32
Based on gross morphological findings, scores will be assigned on a 4-point scale ['0' (absent), '1' (mild), '2' (moderate) and '3' (severe)] for each clinical sign.
Week 32
Proportion of Subjects Who Achieve Score of '0' (Clear) or '1' (Almost Clear) on a 5-point, Validated Investigator's Global Assessment (vlGA) Scale and ≥2 Point Reduction From Baseline.
Time Frame: Week 32

Based on morphological findings (overall appearance of the lesions at a given time point), scores will be assigned on a 5-point scale ('0' [clear] to 4 [severe]).

The information presented represents the percentage of subjects, calculated as the proportion of subjects multiplied by 100.

Week 32
Proportion of Subjects Who Achieve ≥4-point Improvement in Peak Pruritus Numeric Rating Scale (PP-NRS) From Baseline.
Time Frame: Week 32
The information presented represents the percentage of subjects, calculated as the proportion of subjects multiplied by 100.
Week 32
Proportion of Subjects Who Achieve SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) 50 and SCORAD 75 Response at Week 32
Time Frame: Week 32
The information presented represents the percentage of subjects, calculated as the proportion of subjects multiplied by 100.
Week 32
Change From Baseline in Quality of Life Measured by Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Scores.
Time Frame: Week 32

Based on 10-item questionnaire on skin problems (0 to 3 scale). The DLQI is calculated by summing the score of each question resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0. The higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired.

The scoring of each question is as follows:

3=Very much; 2= A lot;

1= A little; 0= Not at all

Week 32
Percent Change From Baseline in Body Surface Area (BSA) With Atopic Dermatitis
Time Frame: Week 32
Week 32
Change From Baseline in Patient Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM) Score
Time Frame: Week 32

Subjects will be asked to complete a 7-item questionnaire about their atopic dermatitis over the past week. Each of the seven questions carries equal weight and is scored from 0 to 4 as follows

4= Every day; 3= 5-6 days; 2= 3-4 days;

1= 1-2 days; 0= No days

The POEM scores can be understood as follows:

0 to 2= Clear or almost clear 3 to 7= Mild eczema 8 to 16= Moderate eczema 17 to 24= Severe eczema 25 to 28= Very severe eczema

The higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired.

Week 32
Proportion of Subjects With Improvement in Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) Score
Time Frame: Week 32

The subjects will be asked to assess if there has been an improvement or decline in clinical status using a 5-point scale depicting a subject's rating of overall improvement.

The information presented represents the percentage of subjects, calculated as the proportion of subjects multiplied by 100.

Week 32
Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGIS) of Disease Score
Time Frame: Week 32
The subjects will be asked to assess their overall impression of disease severity over the past week using a scale of None, Mild, Moderate or Severe.
Week 32
Adverse Events.
Time Frame: Week 36
Total Number Affected by adverse events from Baseline through Week 36
Week 36
