About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Randomized, 24-week, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind Study to Assess the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Rocatinlimab (AMG 451) Monotherapy in Adult Subjects With Moderate-to-severe Atopic Dermatitis (AD) (ROCKET-Horizon)

The co-primary objectives of the study are to:

  • Evaluate the efficacy of rocatinlimab compared with placebo at Week 24, assessed using Validated Investigator's Global Assessment for Atopic Dermatitis (vIGA-AD).
  • Evaluate the efficacy of rocatinlimab compared with placebo at Week 24, assessed using Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI).

What is being measured

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

  1. 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

  2. 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

Secondary outcomes (28)
  1. Number of Participants Who Achieved EASI 75 at Week 16

    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 16

  2. Number of Participants Who Achieved a vIGA-AD Score of 0 (Clear) or 1 (Almost Clear) (vIGA-AD 0/1) at Week 16

    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 16

  3. 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

  4. 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

  5. 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

  6. 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

  7. 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.
