E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To demonstrate that tralokinumab in combination with TCS is superior to placebo in combination with TCS in treating moderate-to-severe AD. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To evaluate the efficacy of tralokinumab in combination with TCS on severity and extent of AD, itch, and health-related quality of life compared with placebo in combination with TCS.
To assess safety of tralokinumab in combination with TCS when used to treat moderate-to-severe AD for 32 weeks.
