|---|---|---|
| Combo Cohort: Placebo + TCS | Placebo comparator | Participants received Placebo injection subcutaneously administered every 2 weeks (Q2W) in combination with topical corticosteroid (TCS) up to Week 16. Receives: Drug: Placebo; Drug: Topical Corticosteroid |
| Combo Cohort: 250 mg Lebrikizumab + TCS | Experimental | Participant received 250 mg (milligrams) Lebrikizumab injection subcutaneously administered Q2W in combination with TCS up to Week 16. Receives: Drug: Lebrikizumab |
| Mono Cohort: 250 mg Lebrikizumab | Experimental | Participant received 250 mg Lebrikizumab injection subcutaneously administered Q2W up to Week 16. Receives: Drug: Lebrikizumab |
| Mono Cohort: Placebo | Placebo comparator | Participant received Placebo injection subcutaneously administered Q2W up to Week 16. Receives: Drug: Placebo |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants Achieving Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI)-75 (≥75% Reduction From Baseline in EASI Score) at Week 16 (Combo Cohort: Placebo + TCS Versus 250 mg Lebrikizumab + TCS; Mono Cohort: Placebo Versus 250 mg Lebrikizumab)
EASI assesses objective physician estimates of 2 dimensions of atopic dermatitis - disease extent and clinical signs, by scoring the extent of disease (percentage of skin 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 (erythema, edema/papulation, excoriation, and lichenification) each on a scale of 0 to 3 (0 = none, absent; 1 = mild; 2 = moderate; 3 = severe) at 4 body sites (head and neck, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs). Half scores are allowed. The final EASI score will be obtained by weight-averaging these 4 scores and will range from 0 to 72. A higher score represents greater disease severity. The EASI-75 responder is defined as a participant who achieves a ≥ 75% reduction from baseline in the EASI score.
Measured: Week 16
Percentage of Participants With a Response of Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) Score 0 or 1 and a Reduction of ≥2 Points From Baseline to Week 16 (Combo Cohort: Placebo + TCS Vs 250 mg Lebrikizumab + TCS; Mono Cohort: Placebo Vs 250 mg Lebrikizumab)
The IGA measures the investigator's global assessment of the participant's overall severity of their Atopic Dermatitis. The IGA is comprised of a 5-point numeric scale ranging from 0 (clear skin) to 4 (severe disease) and a score is selected using descriptors that best describe the overall appearance of the lesions at a given time point.
Measured: Baseline, Week 16
Secondary outcomes (5)
Percentage of Participants Achieving Response of Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI)-90 (≥90% Reduction From Baseline in EASI Score) at Week 16 (Combo Cohort: Placebo + TCS Vs 250 mg Lebrikizumab + TCS; Mono Cohort: Placebo Vs 250 mg Lebrikizumab)
EASI assesses objective physician estimates of 2 dimensions of atopic dermatitis - disease extent and clinical signs, by scoring the extent of disease (percentage of skin 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 (erythema, edema/papulation, excoriation, and lichenification) each on a scale of 0 to 3 (0 = none, absent; 1 = mild; 2 = moderate; 3 = severe) at 4 body sites (head and neck, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs). Half scores are allowed. The final EASI score will be obtained by weight-averaging these 4 scores and will range from 0 to 72. A higher score represents greater disease severity. The EASI-90 responder is defined as a participant who achieves a ≥ 90% reduction from baseline in the EASI score.
Measured: Week 16
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a ≥4 Point Improvement in Itch Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Score at Week 16 (Combo Cohort: Placebo + TCS Versus 250 mg Lebrikizumab + TCS; Mono Cohort: Placebo Versus 250 mg Lebrikizumab)
Percentage of Participants who Achieved a ≥4 Point improvement in Itch NRS Score at Week 16 is reported.
The Itch NRS is a an 11-point scale used by participants to rate their worst itch severity over the past 24 hours with 0 indicating "No itch" and 10 indicating "Worst itch imaginable."
Measured: Week 16
Percent Change From Baseline in Itch Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) (Combo Cohort: Placebo + TCS Versus 250 mg Lebrikizumab + TCS; Mono Cohort: Placebo Versus 250 mg Lebrikizumab)
The Itch NRS is a an 11-point scale used by participants to rate their worst itch severity over the past 24 hours with 0 indicating "No itch" and 10 indicating "Worst itch imaginable".
LS mean was calculated using MMRM model which includes: treatment, baseline value, visit, the interaction of the baseline value-by-visit, the interaction of treatment by-visit, age group, baseline IGA score and country.
Measured: Baseline, Week 16
Change From Baseline in Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Total Score (Combo Cohort: Placebo + TCS Versus 250 mg Lebrikizumab + TCS; Mono Cohort: Placebo Versus 250 mg Lebrikizumab)
The DLQI questionnaire is a 10-item, quality-of-life questionnaire (for participants >=16 years) that covers 6 domains (symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work and school, personal relationships, treatment) to assess impact of skin disease on the quality of life of an affected person. The recall period of this scale is over the "last week." Response categories include "Not at all," "A little," "A lot," and "Very much," with corresponding scores of 0, 1, 2, and 3 respectively, and unanswered (or "not relevant") responses scored as 0. Questions are scored from 0 to 3, giving possible total score range from 0 (no impact of skin disease on quality of life) to 30 (maximum impact on quality of life). A high score is indicative of a poor quality of life.
LS mean was calculated using MMRM model which includes :treatment, baseline value, visit, the interaction of the baseline value-by-visit, the interaction of treatment by-visit, age group, baseline IGA score and country.
Measured: Baseline, Week 16
Percent Change From Baseline in Total Eczema Area and Severity Index (Combo Cohort: Placebo + TCS Versus 250 mg Lebrikizumab + TCS; Mono Cohort: Placebo Versus 250 mg Lebrikizumab)
EASI assesses objective physician estimates of 2 dimensions of atopic dermatitis - disease extent and clinical signs, by scoring the extent of disease (percentage of skin 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 (erythema, edema/papulation, excoriation, and lichenification) each on a scale of 0 to 3 (0 = none, absent; 1 = mild; 2 = moderate; 3 = severe) at 4 body sites (head and neck, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs). Half scores are allowed. The final EASI score will be obtained by weight-averaging these 4 scores and will range from 0 to 72. A higher score represents greater disease severity.
