What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants Who Achieved Validated Investigator's Global Assessment for AD (vIGA-AD) 1 Response With Presence of Only Barely Perceptible Erythema or vIGA-AD 0 Response (Revised Investigator's Global Assessment [rIGA] 0/1) at Week 24
vIGA-AD was a validated instrument rating AD severity on a 5-point scale (0 = Clear; 1 = Almost clear; 2 = Mild; 3 = Moderate; 4 = Severe), with higher scores indicating greater severity. Participants achieving a score of 0 or 1 with ≥2-point reduction from baseline were considered 'Clear' or 'Almost clear'. For rIGA 0/1, when vIGA-AD = 1, investigators answered: "Did participant have barely perceptible erythema, no induration/papulation, no lichenification, and no oozing/crusting?" If "Yes," the participant met rIGA 0/1; if "No," they did not. If vIGA-AD = 0, the participant met rIGA 0/1. Participants initiating rescue therapy for AD were classified as nonresponders at all subsequent time points.
Measured: Baseline and Week 24
Number of Participants Who Achieved ≥ 75% Reduction From Baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index Score (EASI 75) at Week 24
EASI was designed and widely used to assess the severity and extent of AD across four anatomical regions. It evaluated key signs of inflammation, including erythema, induration/papulation, excoriation, and lichenification. The total EASI score ranged from 0 to 72, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. EASI 75 was defined as a ≥ 75% reduction from baseline in the total EASI score. Participants initiating rescue therapy for AD were classified as nonresponders at all subsequent time points.
Measured: Baseline and Week 24

Number of Participants Who Achieved a ≥ 4-point Reduction From Baseline in Weekly Average of Daily Worst Pruritus Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) Score at Week 16 in Participants With Baseline Weekly Average of Daily Worst Pruritus NRS Score ≥ 4
The Worst Pruritus was assessed daily using an NRS consisting of a single item ranging from 0 to 10, where 10 represented the highest intensity of itch. Participants were asked to rate the intensity of their worst itch using this scale. Participants initiating rescue therapy for AD were classified as nonresponders at all subsequent time points.
Measured: Baseline and Week 16
Number of Participants Who Achieved a ≥ 4-point Reduction From Baseline in Weekly Average of Daily Worst Pruritus NRS Score at Week 24 in Participants With Baseline Weekly Average of Daily Worst Pruritus NRS Score ≥ 4
The Worst Pruritus was assessed daily using an NRS consisting of a single item ranging from 0 to 10, where 10 represented the highest intensity of itch. Participants were asked to rate the intensity of their worst itch using this scale. Participants initiating rescue therapy for AD were classified as nonresponders at all subsequent time points.
Measured: Baseline and Week 24
Number of Participants Who Achieved ≥ 90% Reduction From Baseline in EASI Score (EASI 90) at Week 24
The EASI was designed and widely used to assess the severity and extent of AD across four anatomical regions. It evaluated key signs of inflammation, including erythema, induration/papulation, excoriation, and lichenification. The total EASI score ranged from 0 to 72, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. EASI 90 was defined as a ≥ 90% improvement from baseline in the total EASI score. Participants initiating rescue therapy for AD were classified as nonresponders at all subsequent time points.
Measured: Baseline and Week 24
Number of Participants Who Achieved ≥ 4-point Reduction From Baseline in Weekly Average of AD Skin Pain NRS Score at Week 24 in Participants With Baseline Weekly Average of AD Skin Pain NRS Score ≥ 4
AD skin pain was assessed using an NRS consisting of a single item ranging from 0 to 10, where 10 represented the highest intensity of AD skin pain. Participants initiating rescue therapy for AD were classified as nonresponders at all subsequent time points.
Measured: Baseline and Week 24
Number of Participants Who Achieved a vIGA-AD Score of 0 (Clear) or 1 (Almost Clear) With a ≥ 2-Point Reduction From Baseline (vIGA-AD 0/1) at Week 24
The vIGA-AD was a validated assessment instrument used in clinical studies to globally rate the severity of AD on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 to 4, where 0 = Clear, 1 = Almost clear, 2 = Mild, 3 = Moderate, and 4 = Severe. Higher scores indicated greater disease severity. Participants who achieved a score of 0 or 1 with a ≥ 2-point reduction from baseline were considered to have achieved 'Clear' or 'Almost clear' status. Participants initiating rescue therapy for AD were classified as nonresponders at all subsequent time points.
Measured: Baseline and Week 24
Number of Participants Who Achieved Facial AD Severity Score of Clear at Week 24 for Participants With Facial AD at Baseline
The severity of facial AD was assessed using the Facial AD Severity Scale (FASS). The FASS was an instrument used to rate the overall severity of facial AD based on a 5-category scale: clear (0), almost clear (1), mild (2), moderate (3), and severe (4), with higher scores indicating more severe disease. Participants initiating rescue therapy for AD were classified as nonresponders at all subsequent time points.
Measured: Baseline and Week 24
Number of Participants Who Achieved Hand AD Severity Score of Clear at Week 24 for Participants With Hand AD at Baseline
The severity of hand AD was assessed using the Hand Atopic Dermatitis Severity Scale (HASS). The HASS was an instrument used to rate the overall severity of hand AD based on a 5-category scale: clear (0), almost clear (1), mild (2), moderate (3), and severe (4), with higher scores indicating more severe disease. Participants initiating rescue therapy for AD were classified as nonresponders at all subsequent time points.
Measured: Baseline and Week 24
Change From Baseline in Weekly Average of Daily Worst Pruritus NRS Score at Week 16

The POEM was a 7-item validated questionnaire used to assess disease symptoms in children and adults, where the POEM total score ranged from 0 to 28; higher scores represented a greater impact of AD. It evaluated the time spent in the past week with AD signs and symptoms: individual items of bleeding, oozing, cracked, flaking, and dry/rough skin, and their impact on sleep. Participants initiating rescue therapy for AD were classified as nonresponders at all subsequent time points.

Change From Baseline in POEM Score at Week 24
The POEM was a 7-item validated questionnaire used to assess disease symptoms in children and adults, where the POEM total score ranged from 0 to 28; higher scores represented a greater impact of AD. It evaluated the time spent in the past week with AD signs and symptoms: individual items of bleeding, oozing, cracked, flaking, and dry/rough skin, and their impact on sleep. Participants initiating rescue therapy for AD were included in the analysis, and each participant's worst observation, including baseline value, before initiation of rescue therapy for AD was carried forward (WOCF) to all subsequent time points. A negative change from baseline indicated a reduction in the impact of AD.

Change From Baseline in Weekly Average of Daily Sleep Disturbance NRS Score at Week 24
Weekly average of Daily Sleep Disturbance NRS Score was defined as the mean of daily scores reported by participants in an electronic diary assessing the quality of their sleep over the past 24 hours. Sleep disturbance was measured using an NRS consisting of a single item ranging from 0 to 10, where 10 indicated the highest level of sleep disturbance. Participants were asked to rate the intensity of their sleep disturbance using this scale each day. Participants initiating rescue therapy for AD were included in the analysis, and each participant's worst observation, including baseline value, before initiation of rescue therapy for AD was carried forward (WOCF) to all subsequent time points. A negative change from baseline indicated a reduction in level of sleep disturbance.
