Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1.Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score ranges from 0(clear/no disease) to 72(very severe disease).Timepoint: baseline, 4 weeks and 8 weeks

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Percentage of patients with Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score of 0-1 or a 2-point reduction at weeks 4 and 8 by using a 5-point disease severity scoring system, assessed by the clinician at the time points specified in the protocolTimepoint: 4 and 8 weeks;Change in serum interleukin-4 levelsTimepoint: Baseline and 8 weeks;Dermatological life quality index (DQLI. It consists of 10 questions that assess the impact of skin conditions on different aspects of a patient’s life over the last week with a range of scores from 0 to 30.Timepoint: Baseline, 4 and 8 weeks;Peak pruritus-numerical rating scale (PP-NRS). It consists of a 100 mm scale, with two endpoints representing 0 (no itch) and 100 (worst itch imaginable).Timepoint: Baseline, 4 and 8 weeks;Treatment related adverse eventsTimepoint: 4 and 8 weeks
