E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Proportion of patients with IGA scores of 0 or 1 (clear or almost clear) at week 36. For the EMA and EMA Reference Market countries only, the co-primary efficacy endpoint is: EASI-75: Proportion of patients with EASI-75 (≥75% improvement) at week 36 compared to the baseline EASI in the initial treatment study (R668-AD-1334 or R668-AD-1416) |
Proporzione di pazienti con punteggi IGA pari a 0 o 1 (scomparsa o quasi scomparsa) alla settimana 36. Per EMA e per i Paesi che fanno riferimento a EMA l'endpoint co-primario è: EASI-75: Proporzione di pazienti con EASI-75 (≥75% di miglioramento) alla settimana 36 rispetto all’EASI basale negli studi di trattamento iniziali (R668-AD-1334 o R668-AD-1416) |
