What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of Participants with Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) 75 Response at Week 12

    EASI-75 response is defined as at least 75 percent (%) improvement from baseline in EASI total score. EASI is a validated measure used to assess the severity and extent of AD with scores ranging from 0 to 72. Four AD disease characteristics (erythema, thickness [induration, papulation, edema], scratching [excoriation], and lichenification) will each be assessed for severity by the investigator or designee on a scale of "0" (absent) through "3" (severe). In addition, the area of AD involvement will be assessed as a percentage by body area of head, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs, and converted to a score of 0 to 6. In each body region, the area is expressed as 0, 1 (1% to 9%), 2 (10% to 29%), 3 (30% to 49%), 4 (50% to 69%), 5 (70% to 89%), or 6 (90% to 100%). Here higher score indicates higher severity of AD.

    Measured: Week 12

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Proportion of Participants with EASI 90 Response at Week 12

    EASI-90 response is defined as at least 90% improvement from baseline in EASI total score. EASI is a validated measure used to assess the severity and extent of AD with scores ranging from 0 to 72. Four AD disease characteristics (erythema, thickness [induration, papulation, edema], scratching [excoriation], and lichenification) will each be assessed for severity by the investigator or designee on a scale of "0" (absent) through "3" (severe). In addition, the area of AD involvement will be assessed as a percentage by body area of head, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs, and converted to a score of 0 to 6. In each body region, the area is expressed as 0, 1 (1% to 9%), 2 (10% to 29%), 3 (30% to 49%), 4 (50% to 69%), 5 (70% to 89%), or 6 (90% to 100%). Here higher score indicates higher severity of AD.

    Measured: Week 12

  2. Proportion of Participants with EASI 100 Response at Week 12

    EASI-100 response is defined as at least 100% improvement from baseline in EASI total score. EASI is a validated measure used to assess the severity and extent of AD with scores ranging from 0 to 72. Four AD disease characteristics (erythema, thickness [induration, papulation, edema], scratching [excoriation], and lichenification) will each be assessed for severity by the investigator or designee on a scale of "0" (absent) through "3" (severe). In addition, the area of AD involvement will be assessed as a percentage by body area of head, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs, and converted to a score of 0 to 6. In each body region, the area is expressed as 0, 1 (1% to 9%), 2 (10% to 29%), 3 (30% to 49%), 4 (50% to 69%), 5 (70% to 89%), or 6 (90% to 100%). Here higher score indicates higher severity of AD.

    Measured: Week 12

  3. Percent Change from Baseline in EASI Total Score at Week 12

    Percent change from baseline in EASI total score will be reported. EASI is a validated measure used to assess the severity and extent of AD with scores ranging from 0 to 72. Four AD disease characteristics (erythema, thickness [induration, papulation, edema], scratching [excoriation], and lichenification) will each be assessed for severity by the investigator or designee on a scale of "0" (absent) through "3" (severe). In addition, the area of AD involvement will be assessed as a percentage by body area of head, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs, and converted to a score of 0 to 6. In each body region, the area is expressed as 0, 1 (1% to 9%), 2 (10% to 29%), 3 (30% to 49%), 4 (50% to 69%), 5 (70% to 89%), or 6 (90% to 100%). Here higher score indicates higher severity of AD.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12

  4. Proportion of Participants with Validated Investigator Global Assessment for Atopic Dermatitis (vIGA-AD) Score of 0 or 1 and a Reduction of >= 2 Points from Baseline, at Week 12

    Proportion of participants with vIGA-AD score of 0 or 1 and a reduction of >=2 points from baseline at Week 12 will be reported. vIGA-AD is an assessment instrument used in clinical studies to rate the severity of AD, based on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (clear) to 4 (severe). The IGA score is selected using the morphological descriptors that best describe the overall appearance of the AD lesions at a given time point. Higher scores are indicative of a more severe AD.

    Measured: Week 12

  5. Proportion of Participants with vIGA-AD Score of 0 and a Reduction of >= 2 points from Baseline, at Week 12

    Proportion of participants with vIGA-AD score of 0 and a reduction of >=2 points from baseline at Week 12 will be reported. vIGA-AD is an assessment instrument used in clinical studies to rate the severity of AD, based on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (clear) to 4 (severe). The IGA score is selected using the morphological descriptors that best describe the overall appearance of the AD lesions at a given time point. Higher scores are indicative of a more severe AD.

    Measured: Week 12

  6. Proportion of Participants with >= 4-Point Improvement in Peak Pruritus Numeric(al) Rating Scale (PP-NRS) from Baseline, at Week 12

    Proportion of participants with >=4-point improvement from baseline in PP-NRS scale at Week 12 will be reported. PP-NRS is a single item asking participants to assess their worst itch over the past 24 hours. There are 11 response categories, ranging from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst itch imaginable). Higher score indicates greater severity.

    Measured: Week 12

  7. Percent Change from Baseline in PP-NRS Score at Week 12

    Percent change from baseline in PP-NRS score will be reported. PP-NRS is a single item asking participants to assess their worst itch over the past 24 hours. There are 11 response categories, ranging from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst itch imaginable). Higher score indicates greater severity.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12

  8. Percent Change from Baseline in Score of Item 2 of Atopic Dermatitis Sleep Scale (AD Sleep Scale) at Week 12

    Percent change from baseline in the score of Item 2 of AD Sleep Scale at Week 12 will be reported. The AD Sleep Scale is a validated 3-item participant-reported outcome (PRO) instrument to capture self-reported impact of itch on sleep disturbance each day, including difficulty falling asleep, number of night-time awakenings, and difficulty falling back asleep after waking during the previous night. For Item 2, participants select the number of times they woke up each night, ranging from 0 to 29 times. Higher score indicates more sleep disturbance.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12

  9. Proportion of Participants with >= 4 Point Improvement in Skin Pain Numeric Rating Scale (Skin Pain NRS) from Baseline, at Week 12

    Proportion of participants with >= 4 point improvement from baseline in skin pain NRS at Week 12 will be reported. Skin Pain NRS is a single item asking participants to assess their worst skin pain over the past 24 hours. There are 11 response categories, ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable). Higher score indicates more pain.

    Measured: Week 12

  10. Percent Change from Baseline in Skin Pain NRS at Week 12

    Percent change from baseline in Skin Pain NRS at Week 12 will be reported. Skin Pain NRS is a single item asking participants to assess their worst skin pain over the past 24 hours. There are 11 response categories, ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable). Higher score indicates more pain.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12

  11. Number of Participants with Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a pharmaceutical (investigational or non investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the intervention. TEAEs are AEs with onset during the intervention phase or that are a consequence of a preexisting condition that has worsened since baseline. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is a suspected transmission of any infectious agent via a medicinal product and is medically important.

    Measured: Up to approximately Week 12

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Proportion of Participants with Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) 75 Response at Week 12 (time frame: Week 12). 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?
