What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of subjects who achieved Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI)-75

    At week 18, the percentage of subjects who achieved EASI-75 compared to baseline. The EASI score ranges from 0 (no eczema) to 72 (maximum severity).

    Time frame: at week 18 (day 127)

  2. Percentage of subjects with the Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score decrease of ≥ 2 points

    At week 18, the percentage of subjects with the IGA score decrease of ≥ 2 points from baseline. The IGA is a five-point scale ranging from 0 to 4 ( 0 indicates clear, 4 indicates severe).

    Time frame: at week 18 (day 127)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage change in affected Body Surface Area (BSA)

    Percentage change in BSA from baseline.

    Time frame: week 0 to week 52

  2. percentage change of Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (P-NRS) scores

    percentage change of P-NRS scores from baseline at each visit. The scale ranging from 0 to 10 ( 0=no itch; 10=worst itch imaginable).

    Time frame: week 0 to week 52

  3. Percentage changes in the Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) score

    Percentage changes in the CDLQI score compared to baseline at each visit. The total score range from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating a greater impact on the patient's quality of life.

    Time frame: week 0 to week 52

  4. Incidence of Adverse Events (AE)

    An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment.

    Time frame: week 0 to week 52
