Proportion of participants achieving EASI-50 at week 12
Proportion of participants achieving EASI-50 (≥50% reduction from baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index score) at week 12. The EASI is a composite index with scores ranging from 0 to 72. Four AD disease characteristics (erythema, thickness \[induration, papulation, edema\], scratching \[excoriation\], and lichenification) will each be assessed for severity by the investigator on a scale of "0" (absent) through "3" (severe).
Time frame: 12 weeks
Proportion of participants achieving EASI-75 at week 12
Proportion of participants achieving EASI-75 (≥75% reduction from baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index score) at week 12.
Time frame: 12 weeks
Proportion of participants with IGA score of 0 or 1 and a reduction of IGA score by ≥2 points from baseline at week 12
Proportion of participants with Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score of 0 or 1 and a reduction of IGA score by ≥2 points from baseline at week 16. IGA is an assessment instrument used in clinical studies to rate the severity of AD globally, based on a 6-point scale ranging from 0 (clear) to 5 (very severe).
Time frame: 12 weeks
Incidence of adverse events (AEs), abnormal physical examinations, abnormal vital signs, abnormal ECG, and abnormal lab testing.
