    Change From Baseline in Intraepidermal Nerve Fiber Density on Lesional Skin at Week 17 [1] [2]
    End point description
    Skin biopsies were used to analyse the epidermal nerve fiber density. Nerve fibers were visualised by staining consecutive sections for the pan-axonal marker protein gene product 9.5 (PGP9.5); and the basement membrane was visualised by staining for collagen type 4. Quantification of intraepidermal nerve fiber density was calculated by assessing nerve fibers crossing the basement membrane per square millimetre (F/mm^2). Analysis was performed on modified intent-to-treat (mITT) population which included all AD subjects who received at least 1 dose of investigational medicinal product (IMP) who had at least 1 skin biopsy performed, irrespective of compliance with study protocol and procedures, and who did not use prohibited therapies for AD from screening to end of study. Here, ‘number of subjects analysed’ = subjects with available data for this endpoint and ‘n’ = subjects with available data for each specified category.

    Percentage of Subjects With Change From Baseline in Nerve Fiber Branching on Lesional Skin at Week 17 [3] [4]
    End point description
    Skin biopsies were used to analyse the epidermal nerve fiber branching. Nerve fibers were visualised by staining consecutive sections for the pan-axonal marker PGP9.5; and the basement membrane was visualised by staining for collagen type 4. Branching of epidermal nerve fibers was assessed semi-quantitatively by classifying subjects into 4 groups depending on the predominant intraepidermal nerve fiber branching pattern as follows: only linear (100% linear), mainly linear (>60% linear), mainly branched (>60% branched), only branched (100% branched). Percentage of subjects with change in nerve fiber branching status from baseline on lesional skin at Week 17 are reported in this endpoint. Analysis was performed on mITT population. Here, ‘number of subjects analysed’ = subjects with available data for this endpoint.

    Peak Pruritus NRS was an assessment tool used to report the intensity of subject’s pruritus (itch) during a daily recall period. Subjects were asked to rate their worst itch on a 0 (“No itch”) to 10 (“Worst itch imaginable”) NRS by answering the following question: “On a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being ‘no itch’ and 10 being the ‘worst itch imaginable’, how would you rate your itch at the worst moment during the previous 24 hours?”. Higher scores indicated greater severity. Analysis was performed on mITT population. Here, ‘number of subjects analysed’ = subjects with available data for this endpoint.

    Change From Baseline in Eczema and Severity Index (EASI) Total Score at Weeks 17 and 21 [10]
    End point description
    EASI was a validated measure used to assess the severity and extent of AD. Four AD disease characteristics (erythema, thickness [induration, papulation, and edema], scratching [excoriation], and lichenification) were each assessed for severity by the Investigator on a scale of “0” (absent) through “3” (severe). EASI area score was based upon percent (%) body surface area (BSA) with AD in each body region: 0, 1 (1% to 9%), 2 (10% to 29%), 3 (30% to 49%), 4 (50% to 69%), 5 (70% to 89%), and 6 (90% to 100%). Total EASI score was derived as the sum of the 4 region scores and ranged from 0 (minimum) to 72 (maximum). Higher scores indicated greater severity of AD. Analysis was performed on mITT population. Here, ‘number of subjects analysed’ = subjects with available data for this endpoint and ‘n’ = subjects with available data for each specified category.

    SCORAD: standardise extent & severity of AD consists of 3 components i.e., A =extent or affected BSA assessed as % of each defined body area and reported as sum of all areas, with maximum score of 100%. B=severity of 6 specific symptoms of AD (redness, swelling, oozing/crusting, excoriation, skin thickening/lichenification, dryness) assessed using following scale: none(0), mild(1), moderate(2), or severe(3) (for maximum of 18 total points) & C=subjective symptoms scored by subjects on VAS, where “0”=no itch (or no sleeplessness) & “10”=worst imaginable itch (or sleeplessness) with maximum score of 20. SCORAD total score was calculated using these 3 aspects: extent (A: 0-100), severity (B: 0-18), & subjective symptoms (C: 0-20) using formula: A/5 + 7*B/2+ C. SCORAD total score ranged from 0 to 103, where 0 = no disease to 103 = severe disease. Higher values of SCORAD represent worse outcome. mITT.

    End point description
    PROMIS-itch represents a novel suite of participant-reported outcome (PRO) measures for the itch. The PROMIS-Itch severity score consists of 7 questions: 4 questions scored on a scale of 1 to 5: 1) How intense was your itch at its worst; 2) How intense was your itch in general; 3) What is your level of itch right now; 4) How often did you feel the itch; and rest 3 questions (same questions as 1 to 3 mentioned before but scaled on a scale of 0 to 10) were scored on a scale of 0 to 10. Higher scores for each question indicated worse outcome. The total PROMIS-itch score was calculated as the sum of the 7 questions and ranged from 4 (better outcome) to 50 (worse outcome), where a higher score indicated worse condition. Analysis was performed on mITT population. Here, 'number of subjects analysed' = subjects with available data for this endpoint.

    The POEM was a 7-item, validated questionnaire used in clinical practice and clinical trials to assess disease symptoms in children and adults with AD. The format is subject response to 7 items (dryness, itching, flaking, cracking, sleep loss, bleeding, and weeping) based on symptom frequency during the past week (i.e., 0 = ‘no days’, 1 = ‘1 to 2 days’, 2 = ‘3 to 4 days’, 3 = ‘5 to 6’ days, and 4 = ‘every day’). The sum of the 7 items gives the total POEM score of 0 (absent disease) to 28 (severe disease). Higher scores indicated more severe disease and poor quality of life. Analysis was performed on mITT population. Here, ‘number of subjects analysed’ = subjects with available data for this endpoint and ‘n’ = subjects with available data for each specified category.

    DLQI was a 10-item PRO questionnaire that measured the impact of AD disease symptoms and treatment on quality of life. Each question was evaluated on a 4-point scale ranged from 0 to 3 where, 0 = not at all, 1= a little, 2= a lot, 3= very much, where higher scores indicated more impact on quality of life. Scores from all 10 questions were added up to give DLQI total score that ranged from 0 (not at all) to 30 (very much). Higher scores indicated more impact on quality of life of subjects. Analysis was performed on mITT population. Here, ‘number of subjects analysed’ = subjects with available data for this endpoint and ‘n’ = subjects with available data for each specified category.

    Change From Baseline in Atopic Dermatitis Control Tool (ADCT) Total Score at Weeks 17 and 21 [16]
    End point description
    ADCT was a PRO questionnaire designed to assess subject-self-perceived control of their eczema. ADCT contained 6 items allowing a comprehensive coverage of the dimensions defining AD control, i.e., overall severity of AD symptoms, frequency of intense episodes of itching, extent of AD related bother, impact on sleep, impact on daily activities, impact on mood or emotions. Each item of the ADCT is rated from 0 (no problem) to 4 (worst) Likert scale and is equally weighted. The sum of the 6 items gives the total score that ranged from 0 (best disease control) to 24 (worst disease control). Higher scores indicate lower AD control. Analysis was performed on mITT population. Here, ‘number of subjects analysed’ = subjects with available data for this endpoint.
