Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Erythema, pruritus, exudation, excoriation, crusted erosions and lichenification are measured using a 4-point (0-3) scale - Atopic Dermatitis Severity Index (ADSI) - recorded at visits from: day 0, day 8, day 15. 2. Redness, swelling, oozing/crusting, scratch marks, skin thickening (lichenification), dryness are measured using SCORAD (Score Atopic Dermatitis) Calculator at the doctor’s office at the time of the visits at day 0, day 8, day 15; 3. Patient chart assessment by PATIENT ORIENTED ECZEMA MEASURE (POEM)– recorded at visits from: day 0, day 8, day 15.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The safety outcomes (percentage of participants who experienced an AE, number of drop-out due to side effects, disease progression) were evaluated during study visit at Day 8, Day 15 and Day 28.
