|---|---|
| The primary endpoint is the proportion of patients in the Per Protocol (PP) population in each treatment group with treatment success (i.e., a grade of clear or almost clear, a score of 0 or 1, within all treatment areas) based on the Investigator’s Global Assessment of Disease Severity at the end of treatment.Timepoint: From baseline to Day 4, Day 7 & Day 15 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary endpoints are change in severity from baseline to Week 2 (Study Day 15) of four individual signs and symptoms of AD (i.e., erythema, induration/papulation, lichenification and pruritus) and are considered supportive information.Timepoint: From baseline to Day 4, Day 7 & Day 15 | — |
