What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percent Change From Baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI)

    The EASI assesses objective physician estimates of 2 dimensions of atopic dermatitis - disease extent and clinical signs affected: 0 = 0%; 1 = 1-9%; 2 = 10-29%; 3 = 30-49%; 4 = 50-69%; 5 = 70-89%; 6 = 90-100% and the severity of 4 clinical signs: (1) erythema, (2) edema/papulation, (3) excoriation, and (4) lichenification each on a scale of 0 to 3 (0 = none, absent; 1 = mild; 2 = moderate; 3 = severe) at 4 body sites (head/neck, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs). 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 (severe).

    Least Square (LS) Means were calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with the factor of treatment and the baseline EASI as covariate.

    Note: Missing values were imputed using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) multiple imputation.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 16

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Percentage of Participants With a 75% Improvement From Baseline in EASI (EASI75) at Week 16

    The EASI assesses objective physician estimates of 2 dimensions of atopic dermatitis - disease extent and clinical signs affected: 0 = 0%; 1 = 1-9%; 2 = 10-29%; 3 = 30-49%; 4 = 50-69%; 5 = 70-89%; 6 = 90-100% and the severity of 4 clinical signs: (1) erythema, (2) edema/papulation, (3) excoriation, and (4) lichenification each on a scale of 0 to 3 (0 = none, absent; 1 = mild; 2 = moderate; 3 = severe) at 4 body sites (head/neck, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs). 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 (severe).

    The EASI responder is defined as a participant who achieves a ≥ 75% improvement from baseline in the EASI score.

    Measured: Week 16

  2. Percentage of Participants With an Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) Score of 0 (Clear) or 1 (Almost Clear) and a Reduction ≥2 Points From Baseline to Week 16 (5-point Scale)

    The IGA measures the investigator's global assessment of the participant's overall severity of their AD, based on a static, numeric 5-point scale from 0 (clear skin) to 4 (severe disease). The score is based on an overall assessment of the degree of erythema, papulation/induration, oozing/crusting, and lichenification.

    Measured: Week 16

  3. Percentage of Participants With EASI <7 at Week 16

    The EASI assesses objective physician estimates of 2 dimensions of atopic dermatitis - disease extent and clinical signs affected: 0 = 0%; 1 = 1-9%; 2 = 10-29%; 3 = 30-49%; 4 = 50-69%; 5 = 70-89%; 6 = 90-100% and the severity of 4 clinical signs: (1) erythema, (2) edema/papulation, (3) excoriation, and (4) lichenification each on a scale of 0 to 3 (0 = none, absent; 1 = mild; 2 = moderate; 3 = severe) at 4 body sites (head/neck, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs). 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 (severe).

    Measured: Week 16

  4. Percentage of Participants Achieving EASI50 at Week 16

    The EASI assesses objective physician estimates of 2 dimensions of atopic dermatitis - disease extent and clinical signs affected: 0 = 0%; 1 = 1-9%; 2 = 10-29%; 3 = 30-49%; 4 = 50-69%; 5 = 70-89%; 6 = 90-100% and the severity of 4 clinical signs: (1) erythema, (2) edema/papulation, (3) excoriation, and (4) lichenification each on a scale of 0 to 3 (0 = none, absent; 1 = mild; 2 = moderate; 3 = severe) at 4 body sites (head/neck, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs). 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 (severe).

    The EASI responder is defined as a participant who achieves a ≥ 50% improvement from baseline in the EASI score.

    Measured: Week 16

  5. Percentage of Participants Achieving EASI90 at Week 16

    The EASI assesses objective physician estimates of 2 dimensions of atopic dermatitis - disease extent and clinical signs affected: 0 = 0%; 1 = 1-9%; 2 = 10-29%; 3 = 30-49%; 4 = 50-69%; 5 = 70-89%; 6 = 90-100% and the severity of 4 clinical signs: (1) erythema, (2) edema/papulation, (3) excoriation, and (4) lichenification each on a scale of 0 to 3 (0 = none, absent; 1 = mild; 2 = moderate; 3 = severe) at 4 body sites (head/neck, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs). 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 (severe).

    The EASI responder is defined as a participant who achieves a ≥ 90% improvement from baseline in the EASI score

    Measured: Week 16

  6. Percent Change From Baseline in the Sleep Loss Scale Score

    The Sleep Loss Scale is used by the participants to report the impact of itching on their sleep every night. Participants responded to the question to what extent did your itching interfere with your sleep last night. The scale ranged from 0 to 4, with 0 (not at all) to 4 (unable to sleep at all). Higher scores indicated a greater impact and worse outcome. Assessments were recorded daily by the participant using an electronic diary.

    Least Squares (LS) Means were calculated using ANCOVA with the factor of treatment and the baseline sleep-loss scale as covariates.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 16

  7. Percent Change From Baseline in Pruritus Numeric Rating Score (NRS)

    The Pruritus NRS is an 11-point scale used by participants to assess their worst itch severity over the past 24 hours, with 0 indicating no itch and 10 indicating worst itch imaginable. Pruritus assessments were recorded daily by the participant using an electronic diary.

    LS Means were calculated using ANCOVA with the factor of treatments and the baseline pruritus NRS as covariates.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 16

  8. Percentage of Participants With Pruritus NRS Change of ≥3 at Week 16

    The Pruritus NRS is an 11-point scale used by participants to assess their worst itch severity over the past 24 hours, with 0 indicating no itch and 10 indicating worst itch imaginable. Assessments were recorded daily by the participant using an electronic diary.

    The percentage of participants who are dichotomized to success (pruritus NRS greater than or equal to 3-point improvement) at Week 16 will be analyzed using a Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) test.

    Measured: Week 16

  9. Percentage of Participants With Pruritus NRS Change of ≥4 From Baseline to Week 16

    The Pruritus NRS is an 11-point scale used by participants to assess their worst itch severity over the past 24 hours, with 0 indicating no itch and 10 indicating worst itch imaginable. Assessments were recorded daily by the participant using an electronic diary.

    The percentage of participants who are dichotomized to success (pruritus NRS greater than or equal to 4-point improvement) at Week 16 will be analyzed using a Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) test.

    Measured: Week 16

  10. Change From Baseline in Body Surface Area (BSA) Involved With Atopic Dermatitis (AD)

    The body surface area (BSA) affected by AD will be assessed for 4 separate body regions: head and neck, trunk (including genital region), upper extremities, and lower extremities (including the buttocks). Each body region will be assessed for disease extent ranging from 0% to 100% involvement. BSA was calculated using the participant's palm using the 1% rule, 1 palm was equivalent to 1% with estimates of the number of palms it takes to cover the affected AD area. Maximum number of palms were 10 palms for head and neck (10%), 20 palms for upper extremities (20%), 30 palms for trunk, including axilla and groin (30%), 40 palms for lower extremities, including buttocks (40%). Percent of BSA for a body region was calculated as = total number of palms in a body region * % surface area equivalent to 1 palm. Overall percent BSA of all 4 body regions ranges from 0% to 100 % with higher values representing greater severity of AD.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 16

  11. Change From Baseline in Atopic Dermatitis Impact Questionnaire (ADIQ) Score

    The ADIQ is a 17-item questionnaire used to assess the participant's AD-specific health-related quality of life. Each item is rated on a 5-point scale from 0 to 4, with higher numbers indicating greater burden. The questionnaire assesses AD's impact on emotions, energy, activities of daily living, and social activities. The ADIQ has a recall specification of 7 days. Assessments were recorded by the participant using an electronic diary and transferred to the clinical database.The ADIQ score is calculated by summing the score of each of the 14 questions resulting in a maximum of 56 and a minimum of 0, with higher scores indicating greater burden.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 16

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 58 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 May 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percent Change From Baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) (time frame: Baseline, Week 16). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03443024, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 May 2021.
