General information about the trial
|
|||
Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of the study was to demonstrate the efficacy of Dupilumab administered concomitantly with topical corticosteroid (TCS) through Week 16 in adult subjects with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) compared to placebo administered concomitantly with TCS.
|
||
Protection of trial subjects |
The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and in compliance with all International Council for Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were followed.
|
||
Background therapy |
All subjects were required to apply moisturizers (emollients) at least twice daily for at least 7 consecutive days immediately before randomization and to continue throughout the study. Starting on Day 1/baseline, all subjects were required to initiate treatment with a TCS using a standardized regimen. The type and amount of topical products (TCS and topical calcineurin inhibitors [TCI]) used during the study were recorded. It was recommended that subjects use triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% cream or fluocinolone acetonide 0.025% ointment for medium potency, and hydrocortisone 1% cream for low potency. | ||

End point title |
Percentage of Subjects With Eczema Area and Severity Index-75 (EASI-75) (≥75% Improvement From Baseline) at Week 16 | ||||||||||||||||
End point description |
The EASI score was used to measure the severity and extent of atopic dermatitis (AD) and measures erythema, infiltration, excoriation and lichenification on 4 anatomic regions of the body: head, trunk, upper and lower extremities. The total EASI score ranges from 0 (minimum) to 72 (maximum) points, with the higher scores reflecting the worse severity of AD. EASI-75 responders were the subjects who achieved ≥75% overall improvement in EASI score from baseline to Week 16. All efficacy analyses were performed on the Full Analysis Set (FAS), which included all randomized subjects. Efficacy analyses were based on the treatment allocated by interactive voice response system/ interactive web response system (IVRS/IWRS) at randomization (as randomized).

IGA was an assessment scale used to determine severity of AD and clinical response to treatment on a 5-point scale (0 = clear; 1 = almost clear; 2 = mild; 3 = moderate; 4 = severe) based on erythema and papulation/infiltration. Therapeutic response is an IGA score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear). Subjects with IGA score “0” or “1” and a reduction from baseline of ≥2 points at Week 16 were reported. All efficacy analyses were performed on the FAS, which included all randomized subjects. Efficacy analyses were based on the treatment allocated by the IVRS/IWRS at randomization (as randomized).

End point description |
Pruritus NRS was an assessment tool that was used to report the intensity of a subject’s pruritus (itch), both maximum and average intensity, during a 24-hour recall period. Subjects were asked the following question: how would a subject rate his itch at the worst moment during the previous 24 hours (for maximum itch intensity on a scale of 0 – 10 [0 = no itch; 10 = worst itch imaginable]). Subjects achieving a reduction of ≥4 points from baseline in weekly average of peak daily pruritus NRS score at Week 16 were reported. All efficacy analyses were performed on the FAS, which included all randomized subjects. Efficacy analyses were based on the treatment allocated by the IVRS/IWRS at randomization (as randomized). Here, number of subjects analyzed = subjects with baseline peak pruritus NRS score ≥4.

IGA is an assessment scale used to determine severity of AD and clinical response to treatment on a 5-point scale (0 = clear; 1 = almost clear; 2 = mild; 3 = moderate; 4 = severe) based on erythema and papulation/infiltration. Therapeutic response is an IGA score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear). Subjects with IGA score of “0” or “1” and a reduction from baseline of ≥2 points at Week 52 were reported. All efficacy analyses were performed on the FAS, which included all randomized subjects. Efficacy analyses were based on the treatment allocated by the IVRS/IWRS at randomization (as randomized).

The EASI score was used to measure the severity and extent of AD and measured erythema, infiltration, excoriation and lichenification on 4 anatomic regions of the body: head, trunk, upper and lower extremities. The total EASI score ranges from 0 (minimum) to 72 (maximum) points, with the higher scores reflecting the worse severity of AD. EASI-75 responders were the subjects who achieved ≥75% overall improvement in EASI score from baseline to Week 52. All efficacy analyses were performed on the FAS, which included all randomized subjects. Efficacy analyses were based on the treatment allocated by the IVRS/IWRS at randomization (as randomized).

Pruritus NRS was an assessment tool that was used to report the intensity of a subject's pruritus (itch), both maximum and average intensity, during a 24-hour recall period. Subjects were asked the following question: how would a subject rate his itch at the worst moment during the previous 24 hours (for maximum itch intensity on a scale of 0 – 10 [0 = no itch; 10 = worst itch imaginable]). Subjects achieving a reduction of ≥4 points from baseline in weekly average of peak daily pruritus NRS score at Week 2 were reported. All efficacy analyses were performed on the FAS, which included all randomized subjects. Efficacy analyses were based on the treatment allocated by the IVRS/IWRS at randomization (as randomized). Here, number of subjects analyzed = subjects with baseline peak pruritus NRS score ≥4.

Percentage of Subjects With Skin Infection TEAEs (excluding Herpetic Infections) from Baseline through Week 52 | ||||||||||||||||
End point description |
Any untoward medical occurrence in subjects who received IMP was considered an AE without regard to possibility of casual relationship with this treatment. TEAEs were defined as AEs that developed or worsened or became serious during "on-treatment period" (time from the first dose of study drug up to end of treatment at Week 52). Any TEAE included subjects with both serious and non-serious AEs. Skin infection TEAEs were identified based on blinded adjudication of all reported TEAEs under the 2 primary System Organ Classes (SOC): SOC = “Infection and Infestations” or SOC = “Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders”. Blinded adjudication was performed and finalized by the study medical monitor before database lock. All safety analysis were performed on SAF that included all randomized subjects who received any study drug, and were analyzed as-treated.

Change From Baseline in Asthma Control Questionnaire-5 (ACQ-5) Score to Week 16 | ||||||||||||||||
End point description |
ACQ-5 questionnaire was a validated questionnaire comprising of 5 questions for asthma symptoms: woken at night by symptoms, wake in the mornings with symptoms, limitation of daily activities, shortness of breath, and wheeze. Subjects were asked to rate their asthma symptoms during the previous week on a 7-point scale as 0=no impairment, 6=maximum impairment. ACQ-5 score is the mean of the 5 questions and range between 0 (totally controlled) and 6 (severely uncontrolled) (a higher score indicated lower asthma control). All efficacy analyses were performed on the FAS, which included all randomized subjects. Efficacy analyses were based on the treatment allocated by the IVRS/IWRS at randomization (as randomized). Here, number of subjects analyzed = subjects with ACQ-5 value at baseline. The ACQ-5 questionnaire was administered only to the subjects with a medical history of asthma.
