Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of dermal 0.5% roflumilast cream formulation compared with vehicle on the reduction of atopic dermatitis lesions during 15 days of treatment in atopic dermatitis patients with skin lesions of moderate severity, using the modified local SCORAD.;Secondary Objective: To assess barrier function by measurement of transepidermal water loss (TEWL) To evaluate effect on pruritus, by subjective assessment and recorded on a numeric scale ranging from 0 to 10 To evaluate the local and systemic safety of a dermal cream of 0.5% roflumilast as measured by rates of AEs relative to vehicle as well as changes in vital signs and clinical laboratory parameters;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is the change from baseline to Day 15 in modified local SCORAD (erythema, edema/papulation, oozing/crusts, excoriations, lichenification).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Day 15

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Change from baseline to Day 15 in TEWL values Change from baseline to Day 15 in subjects’ assessment of pruritus on a numeric scale from 0 to 10;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Day 15
