What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Change From Baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) Total Score at Week 4

    The least squares (LS) mean (SD) change from baseline in EASI Total Score at Week 4 is reported. The EASI is an instrument to measure the severity and extent of AD. The body is first divided into 4 areas: head (10% of skin), arms (20%), trunk (30%), and legs (40%). Then, the area affected is scored from 0 (0% involvement) to 6 (90-100% involvement), and severity is scored from 0 ('none') to 3 ('severe'). The EASI combines the area affected and severity ratings to get a final composite score ranging from 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease). Note that palms and soles were treated as appropriate but were not counted towards any measurements of EASI.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 4

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Percentage Change From Baseline in EASI Total Score

    The LS mean (SD) percentage change from baseline in EASI Total Score at Weeks 1, 2, and 4 is reported. The EASI is an instrument to measure the severity and extent of AD. The body is first divided into 4 areas: head (10% of skin), arms (20%), trunk (30%), and legs (40%). Then, the area affected is scored from 0 (0% involvement) to 6 (90-100% involvement), and severity is scored from 0 ('none') to 3 ('severe'). The EASI combines the area affected and severity ratings to get a final composite score ranging from 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease). Note that palms and soles were treated as appropriate but were not counted towards any measurements of EASI.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 1, 2, and 4

  2. Mean Change From Baseline in EASI Total Score at Weeks 1 and 2

    The LS mean (SD) change from baseline in EASI Total Score at Weeks 1 and 2 is reported. The EASI is an instrument to measure the severity and extent of AD. The body is first divided into 4 areas: head (10% of skin), arms (20%), trunk (30%), and legs (40%). Then, the area affected is scored from 0 (0% involvement) to 6 (90-100% involvement), and severity is scored from 0 ('none') to 3 ('severe'). The EASI combines the area affected and severity ratings to get a final composite score ranging from 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease). Note that palms and soles were treated as appropriate but were not counted towards any measurements of EASI.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 1 and 2

  3. Number of Participants Achieving a 50% Decrease From Baseline in EASI Score (EASI-50)

    The number of participants with a decrease of at least 50% from the baseline EASI total score is presented. The EASI is an instrument to measure the severity and extent of AD. The body is first divided into 4 areas: head (10% of skin), arms (20%), trunk (30%), and legs (40%). Then, the area affected is scored from 0 (0% involvement) to 6 (90-100% involvement), and severity is scored from 0 ('none') to 3 ('severe'). The EASI combines the area affected and severity ratings to get a final composite score ranging from 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease), with positive results indicating an increase from baseline in EASI total score (i.e., increased symptoms) and negative results indicating a decrease from baseline score (i.e., decreased symptoms). Note that palms and soles were treated as appropriate but were not counted towards any measurements of EASI.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 1, 2, and 4

  4. Number of Participants Achieving a 75% Decrease From Baseline in EASI Score (EASI-75)

    The number of participants with a decrease of at least 75% from the baseline EASI total score is presented. The EASI is an instrument to measure the severity and extent of AD. The body is first divided into 4 areas: head (10% of skin), arms (20%), trunk (30%), and legs (40%). Then, the area affected is scored from 0 (0% involvement) to 6 (90-100% involvement), and severity is scored from 0 ('none') to 3 ('severe'). The EASI combines the area affected and severity ratings to get a final composite score ranging from 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease), with positive results indicating an increase from baseline in EASI total score (i.e., increased symptoms) and negative results indicating a decrease from baseline score (i.e., decreased symptoms). Note that palms and soles were treated as appropriate but were not counted towards any measurements of EASI.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 1, 2, and 4

  5. Number of Participants Achieving a 90% Decrease From Baseline in EASI Score (EASI-90)

    The number of participants with a decrease of at least 90% from the baseline EASI total score is presented. The EASI is an instrument to measure the severity and extent of AD. The body is first divided into 4 areas: head (10% of skin), arms (20%), trunk (30%), and legs (40%). Then, the area affected is scored from 0 (0% involvement) to 6 (90-100% involvement), and severity is scored from 0 ('none') to 3 ('severe'). The EASI combines the area affected and severity ratings to get a final composite score ranging from 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease), with positive results indicating an increase from baseline in EASI total score (i.e., increased symptoms) and negative results indicating a decrease from baseline score (i.e., decreased symptoms). Note that palms and soles were treated as appropriate but were not counted towards any measurements of EASI. In some instances, it was not possible to compare roflumilast to vehicle due to low number of cases.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 1, 2, and 4

  6. Number of Participants Achieving a 100% Decrease From Baseline in EASI Score (EASI-100)

    The number of participants with a decrease of 100% from the baseline EASI total score is presented. The EASI is an instrument to measure the severity and extent of AD. The body is first divided into 4 areas: head (10% of skin), arms (20%), trunk (30%), and legs (40%). Then, the area affected is scored from 0 (0% involvement) to 6 (90-100% involvement), and severity is scored from 0 ('none') to 3 ('severe'). The EASI combines the area affected and severity ratings to get a final composite score ranging from 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease), with positive results indicating an increase from baseline in EASI total score (i.e., increased symptoms) and negative results indicating a decrease from baseline score (i.e., decreased symptoms). Note that palms and soles were treated as appropriate but were not counted towards any measurements of EASI. In some instances, it was not possible to compare roflumilast to vehicle due to low number of cases.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 1, 2, and 4

  7. Mean Change From Baseline in Body Surface Area (BSA) Involvement

    The LS mean (SE) change from baseline in BSA involvement at Weeks 1, 2, and 4 is presented. The BSA affected by AD was determined by the subject's hand method, where the subject's hand (including fingers) surface area was assumed to equal 1% of BSA. Negative scores indicate improvement of symptoms, whereas positive scores indicate worsening.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 1, 2, and 4

  8. Worse Itch Numerical Rating Score (WI-NRS) Score Change

    The LS mean (SE) change from baseline in WI-NRS score is presented. The WI-NRS is a simple, single item scale to assess the subject-reported severity of this symptom, on a scale ranging from 0 ("no itch") to 10 ("worst imaginable itch") the subject experienced in the previous 24 hours. Higher scores indicate greater symptom severity.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 1, 2, and 4

  9. Number of Participants Achieving ≥4-Point Improvement in WI-NRS Pruritus Score

    The number of participants achieving a ≥4-point improvement from Baseline in WI-NRS score is presented. The WI-NRS is a simple, single item scale to assess the subject-reported severity of this symptom, on a scale ranging from 0 ("no itch") to 10 ("worst imaginable itch") the subject experienced in the previous 24 hours. Higher scores indicate greater symptom severity.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 1, 2, and 4

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 8 inclusion and 17 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 13 Feb 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 20 sites in United States, Canada. 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 13 Feb 2023). 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?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mean Change From Baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) Total Score at Week 4 (time frame: Baseline and Week 4). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 13 Feb 2023.
