From Day 1 of dosing up to 4 weeks post last dose (maximum up to Week 16)

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly; was a suspected transmission via a Pfizer product of an infectious agent, pathogenic or non-pathogenic or other situations where medical or scientific judgement should be exercised by investigator. AEs included SAEs and all non-SAEs.

Percentage of Participants Achieving Greater Than or Equal to (>=) 4 Points Improvement in Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (PP-NRS4) From Baseline at Week 2
Week 2

The severity of itch (pruritus) due to atopic dermatitis (AD) was assessed using the PP-NRS, a validated horizontal NRS. Participants were asked to assess their worst itching due to AD over the past 24 hours on an NRS with scale ranging from 0 to 10, where 0= no itch and 10= worst itch imaginable. Higher scores indicated worse itch.

Percentage of Participants Achieving >= 90% Improvement From Baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI-90) Response at Week 4
Week 4

EASI quantifies severity of AD based on severity of lesion clinical signs and percentage (%) of body surface area (BSA) affected. Severity of clinical signs of AD lesions (erythema, induration/papulation, excoriation and lichenification) were scored separately for each of 4 body regions (head and neck, upper limbs, trunk \[including axillae and groin)\] and lower limbs \[including buttocks\]) on a 4-point scale: 0= absent; 1= mild; 2= moderate; 3= severe. EASI area score was based on % BSA with AD in body region: 0 (0%), 1 (\>0 to \<10%), 2 (10 to \<30%), 3 (30 to \<50%), 4 (50 to \<70%), 5 (70 to \<90%) and 6 (90 to 100%). Total EASI score =0.1\*Ah\*(Eh+Ih+Exh+Lh) + 0.2\*Au\*(Eu+Iu+ExU+Lu) + 0.3\*At\*(Et+It+Ext+Lt) + 0.4\*Al\*(El+Il+Exl+Ll); A = EASI area score; E = erythema; I = induration/papulation; Ex = excoriation; L = lichenification; h = head and neck; u = upper limbs; t = trunk; l = lower limbs. Total EASI score ranged from 0.0 to 72.0, with higher scores indicating greater severity of AD.

Percentage of Participants Achieving Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) Response of 'Clear' (0) or 'Almost Clear' (1) and ≥2 Points Improvement From Baseline at Week 12
Baseline to Week 12

The IGA of Atopic Dermatitis (AD) was scored on a 5-point scale (0-4), reflecting a global consideration of the erythema, induration and scaling. The overall severity of AD was assessed according to the 5-point scale: 0=Clear, 1=Almost Clear, 2=Mild, 3=Moderate, and 4=Severe. Participants who withdrew from the study were counted as non-responder.

Percentage of Participants Achieving Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) Response ≥ 75% Improvement From Baseline at Week 12
Baseline to Week 12

The EASI quantifies the severity of AD based on both severity of lesion clinical signs and the percent of body surface area (BSA) affected. The EASI score can vary in increments of 0.1 and range from 0.0 to 72.0, with higher scores representing greater severity of AD. Participants who withdrew from the study were counted as non-responder.

Percentage of Participants Achieving Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) Response of Clear (0) or Almost Clear (1) and a Reduction of Greater Than or Equal to (>=) 2 Points From Baseline at Week 12
Baseline (the last measurement prior to first dosing on Day 1), Week 12

Baseline, Week 12

EASI evaluates severity of participants with AD (excluded scalp, palms, soles) based on severity of AD clinical signs and % of body surface area (BSA) affected. Severity of clinical signs of AD (erythema, induration/papulation, excoriation and lichenification) scored separately for each of 4 body regions (head and neck, upper limbs, trunk \[including axillae and groin\] and lower limbs \[including buttocks\]) on 4-point scale: 0= absent; 1= mild; 2= moderate; 3= severe. EASI area score was based upon % BSA with AD in body region: 0 (0%), 1 (\>0 to \<10%), 2 (10 to \<30%), 3 (30 to \<50%), 4 (50 to \<70%), 5 (70 to \<90%) and 6 (90 to 100%).

Total EASI score ranged from 0.0 to 72.0, higher scores = greater severity of AD.

Percentage of Participants With Loss of Response: Double-blind (DB) Period
From Day 1 of up to Week 40 of double blind period

Percentage of participants with loss of response requiring rescue treatment during double blind period was determined. Loss of response denoted as flare and was define as a loss of at least 50% of EASI total score at Week 12 and with an IGA score of 2 or higher. EASI quantifies severity of participant's atopic dermatitis (AD) based on both severity of lesion clinical signs and % of body surface area (BSA) affected. EASI is a composite scoring by AD clinical evaluator of degree of erythema, induration/papulation, excoriation, and lichenification for each of 4 body regions. EASI total score range from 0.0 to 72.0, with higher scores representing greater severity of AD. IGA assesses severity of AD on 5-point scale (0 to 4, higher scores = more severity), reflecting global consideration of erythema, induration and scaling. Where, 0 = clear; 1 = almost clear; 2 = mild; 3 = moderate and 4 = severe.

Time to Loss of Response: Double-blind Period
From date of first dose of randomized treatment until the last dose of randomized treatment (if not entered rescue) or first day of rescue treatment (if entered rescue) (maximum up to Week 40, visit window was extended +/- 45 Days due to COVID 19)

Time (in days) to loss of response based on achieving IGA \>=2 was measured from date of first dose of randomized treatment until last dose of randomized treatment (if not entered rescue) or first day of rescue treatment (if entered rescue) and based on EASI, loss of at least 50% of EASI response at Week 12 and IGA score of 2 or higher. IGA assesses severity of AD on 5-point scale (0 to 4, higher scores=more severity), reflecting global consideration of erythema, induration and scaling with scores 0 = clear; 1 = almost clear; 2 = mild; 3 = moderate; 4 = severe. EASI quantifies severity of AD based on severity of lesion clinical signs and % of BSA affected. EASI composite score evaluates degree of erythema, induration/papulation, excoriation, and lichenification.
