Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE)
From first dose until study completion, early discontinuation, or loss of follow up, whichever occurs first (Up to approximately 36 months)

An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition in a clinical investigation participant administered study treatment and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization.

Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Maximum Post Baseline Shifts in Laboratory Parameters
From first dose until study completion, early discontinuation, or loss of follow up, whichever occurs first (Up to approximately 36 months)

Blood samples were collected to assess clinical significant shifts in laboratory parameters. "Normal to High" means at baseline the value is Normal and maximum post baseline value is High.

Number of Participants With Clinically Meaningful Mean Changes in Vital Signs and Physical Parameters
From first dose until study completion, early discontinuation, or loss of follow up, whichever occurs first (Up to approximately 36 months)

SBP (Systolic blood Pressure) and DBP (Diastolic Blood Pressure) measured in mmHg and Heart rates measured in beats per minute.

Change From Baseline in Mean Number of Peak Eosinophils (Eos) Count Per High-power Field (Hpf) in Gastrointestinal (GI) Biopsies
Baseline and Week 16

Blood samples were collected to assess eosinophils count. Baseline data are defined as last measurement collected on or prior the date of first dose for Induction Phase.

Change From Baseline in Mean Dysphagia Days (DD) at Week 24
Baseline (Day 1) and Week 24

Dysphagia Days (DD) was assessed using a modified daily symptom diary (mDSD). The DD was evaluated over the prior 14-day period using the mDSD, which includes 6 primary questions. These questions assess solid food consumption that day (Q1), experience with trouble swallowing (Q2), food going down slowly (Q3), food getting stuck in the throat or chest (Q4), actions taken by participants to obtain relief (Q5), and any pain associated with swallowing (Q6). The number of DD was normalized by calculating the number of diary days with a "yes" to any or all of Q2, Q3, and Q4 in the 14-day period prior to a visit, dividing by the number of measurable diary days in the 14-day period, and then multiplying by the length of the period (14). A measurable diary day for DD is defined as a diary day for which Questions 2 to 4 are answered. Mean DD ranges from 0 to 14 for the 14-day period.

Percentage of Participants With Peak Esophageal Eosinophil Count <= 6/High-power Field (Hpf) at Week 24
Week 24

Blood samples were collected to assess esophageal eosinophil count.

Mean Percentage Change From Baseline in EASI at Week 16
From initial EASI measurement to week 16

The Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) is a composite scoring system assessed by the Investigator based on the proportion of each of the 4 body regions (head and neck, upper limbs, lower limbs, and trunk) affected with Atopic Dermatitis (AD) and the intensity of each of 4 main signs of AD (eg, erythema, induration/papulation, excoriation, and lichenification) and is based on a 4-point scale of 0 (none), 1 (mild), 2 (moderate), and 3 (severe). The sum of the scores is totaled (0 to 72), the lower the score the better.
