Percentage of participants achieving EASI-75 at Week 16 were reported. EASI-75 response was defined as at least 75% improvement from baseline in EASI total score. The EASI score was used to measure the severity and extent of atopic dermatitis (AD) and measures erythema, infiltration/papulation, excoriation and lichenification on 4 anatomic regions of the body: head/neck, trunk, upper and lower extremities. The severity of the clinical signs of AD for each of 4 body regions was scored on a 4-point scale: 0=absent, 1=mild, 2=moderate and 3=severe. The total EASI score is the sum of four body-region scores ranged from 0 (minimum) to 72 (maximum) points, with the higher scores reflecting the worse severity of AD. This outcome measure was planned to be analyzed for specified arms only.
An adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical or biological agent under study.
Safety and tolerability endpoints were evaluated by monitoring all the adverse events from clinical and laboratory reporting, vital signs, physical examinations, ECG and urinalysis. All the Adverse Events that the subjects experienced from Visit 1 Day 1 (Post-injection) until 7 days after the last administration of the study drug were captured in the clinical database. AEs are coded using medical dictionary - MedDRA Version 21.0 and the severity was assigned using CTCAE version 4.03.
