Achievement of Validated Investigator Global Assessment for Atopic Dermatitis (vIGA-AD) Success at Week 4
The percentage of participants achieving vIGA-AD "success" is presented with multiple imputation of missing observations. vIGA-AD "success" is defined as a vIGA-AD score of 'clear' or 'almost clear' PLUS a 2-grade improvement from Baseline. The vIGA-AD is a static evaluation of qualitative overall AD severity. This global assessment scale is an ordinal scale with five severity grades (reported only in integers of 0 to 4 where 0 is clear), with higher scores indicative of greater symptom severity.
Time frame: Week 4
Achievement of vIGA-AD Success at Week 4 in Participants With "Moderate" Baseline Scores
The percentage of participants with moderate baseline scores achieving vIGA-AD "success" is presented with multiple imputation of missing observations. vIGA-AD "success" is defined as a vIGA-AD score of 'clear' or 'almost clear' PLUS a 2-grade improvement from Baseline in participants with a 'moderate' baseline vIGA-AD score. The vIGA-AD is a static evaluation of qualitative overall AD severity. This global assessment scale is an ordinal scale with five severity grades (0 'clear' to 4 'severe'), with higher scores indicative of greater symptom severity.
Time frame: Week 4
Achievement of a 4-Point Reduction in the Average, Weekly Worst Itch Numeric Rating Scale (WI-NRS) at Week 4 in Participants ≥12 Years of Age With Baseline WI-NRS ≥ 4
The percentage of participants ≥12 years of age with a baseline WI-NRS ≥4 achieving WI-NRS success at Week 4 is presented with multiple imputation of missing observations. The WI-NRS is a simple, single item scale to assess the subject-reported severity of this symptom, on a scale ranging from 0 ("no itch") to 10 ("worst imaginable itch") the participant experienced in the previous 24 hours (higher scores indicate higher itch severity).
Time frame: Week 4
Achievement of a 4-Point Reduction in the Average, Weekly WI-NRS at Week 2 in Participants ≥12 Years of Age With Baseline WI-NRS ≥ 4
The percentage of participants ≥12 years of age with a baseline WI-NRS ≥4 achieving WI-NRS success at Week 2 is presented with multiple imputation of missing observations. The WI-NRS is a simple, single item scale to assess the subject-reported severity of this symptom, on a scale ranging from 0 ("no itch") to 10 ("worst imaginable itch") the participant experienced in the previous 24 hours (higher scores indicate higher itch severity).
Time frame: Week 2

The percentage of participants ≥12 years of age with a baseline WI-NRS ≥4 achieving WI-NRS success at Week 1 is presented with multiple imputation of missing observations. The WI-NRS is a simple, single item scale to assess the subject-reported severity of this symptom, on a scale ranging from 0 ("no itch") to 10 ("worst imaginable itch") the participant experienced in the previous 24 hours (higher scores indicate higher itch severity).
Time frame: Week 1
Achievement of ≥ 75% Reduction in the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI-75) at Week 4
The percentage of participants achieving EASI-75 is presented with multiple imputation of missing observations. EASI-75 is a ≥75% reduction from the baseline EASI score. EASI combines the assessment of the severity of lesions and the area affected into a single total score in the range 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease). To calculate the EASI, the sum of the severity rating (0 to 3 with 3 being the most severe) for four clinical signs are multiplied with the numerical value of the area affected and with the percentage of the four body areas.
Time frame: Week 4

This global assessment scale is an ordinal scale with five severity grades (0 'clear' to 4 'severe'), with higher scores indicative of greater symptom severity.
Time frame: Week 4
Achievement of vIGA-AD Success at Week 2
