What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change from baseline in hand modified Total Lesion Symptom Score (mTLSS)
The mTLSS is an assessment of the severity of each of the following: erythema, scaling, lichenification/hyperkeratosis, vesicles, oedema, fissures, and pruritus/pain. Each of these are rated using a 4-point severity scale.These ratings are then added to create a total mTLSS calculated as the sum of assigned individual scores with a maximum value of 21 (most severe disease) and a minimum of 0 (no disease).
Measured: Week 16
Secondary outcomes (9)
Change from baseline in hand modified Total Lesion Symptom Score (mTLSS)
The mTLSS is an assessment of the severity of each of the following: erythema, scaling, lichenification/hyperkeratosis, vesicles, oedema, fissures, and pruritus/pain. Each of these are rated using a 4-point severity scale.These ratings are then added to create a total mTLSS calculated as the sum of assigned individual scores with a maximum value of 21 (most severe disease) and a minimum of 0 (no disease).
Measured: Weeks 2, 4 and 12
Reduction from baseline in hand Physician's Global Assessment (PGA)
The PGA is a global assessment of the current state of the disease and will be completed specific to the hands. It is a 5-point scale of overall disease severity by rating the particular signs and symptoms of chronic hand eczema (erythema, scaling, hyperkeratosis/lichenification, vesiculation, oedema, fissures and pruritus/pain).
Measured: Weeks 2, 4, 12 and 16
Change from baseline in Hand Eczema Severity Index (HECSI)
The HECSI scoring system incorporates both the extent and the intensity of the disease. The total sum called the HECSI score will be calculated, varying from 0 to a maximum severity score of 360 points.
Measured: Weeks 2, 4, 12 and 16
Change from baseline in Extent of Disease affected with moderate to severe chronic hand eczema (CHE)
The Extent of Disease will be estimated by the physician as the percentage of hand area (palmar and dorsal) affected by eczema, both hands (both surface) cumulating 100%.
Measured: Weeks 2, 4, 12 and 16
Patient Global Assessment (PaGA) measurements
Using the PaGA chart, subjects will be asked by the investigator to grade their overall change from baseline in their CHE by selecting the description which best matches their perception of treatment effect.
Measured: Weeks 2, 4, 12 and 16
Change from baseline in hand Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI)
The DLQI is a simple 10-question validated questionnaire that has been used in more than 40 different skin conditions.
Measured: Weeks 2, 4, 12 and 16
Change from baseline in Quality of Life in Hand Eczema Questionnaire (QOLHEQ)
The QOLHEQ is a disease specific instrument, thereby only assessing impairments caused by hand eczema. The QOLHEQ total-score ranges from 0-127 points.
Measured: Weeks 2, 4, 12 and 16
Change from baseline in pain Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)
The intensity of pain related to CHE will be recorded using a NRS. Pain intensity will be evaluated by asking subjects to assign a numerical score representing of the worst intensity over the last 24 hours of their symptoms on a scale from 0 to 10, with 0 indicating no symptoms and 10 indicating the worst imaginable symptoms.
Measured: Weeks 2, 4, 12 and 16
Change from baseline in itch Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)
The intensity of pruritus associated with CHE will be recorded using an NRS. This will be evaluated by asking subjects to assign a numerical score between 0 and 10 corresponding to their worst itching over the past 24 hours, with 0 indicating no itch and 10 indicating worst imaginable itch.
Measured: Weeks 2, 4, 12 and 16

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Abrocitinib 200 mg and Abrocitinib 100 mg in people with Chronic Hand Eczema, run by Innovaderm Research Inc. at 12 sites in 2 countries.
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 3 Feb 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 12 sites in Poland, 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?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
Change from baseline in hand modified Total Lesion Symptom Score (mTLSS) (time frame: Week 16). 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 3 Feb 2026.
