Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Proportion of participants with Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI)-75 (>=75% improvement from baseline EASI) [Time frame for evaluation: At Week 16] The EASI is a composite index with scores ranging from 0 to 72.Higher scores indicates worse condition

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Percent change in EASI score [Time frame for evaluation: From baseline to week 16] The EASI is a composite index with scores ranging from 0 to 72.Higher scores indicates worse condition 2. Percent change in weekly average of daily worst itch numerical rating scale (NRS) for participants aged >=6 years to =6 years old to =12 years to = 12 to =6 months to =6 years old to =50% improvement from baseline) [Time frame for evaluation: At Week 16] The EASI is a composite index with scores ranging from 0 to 72.Higher scores indicates worse condition 8. Proportion of participants with EASI-90 (>=90% improvement from baseline) [Time frame for evaluation: At Week 16] The EASI is a composite index with scores ranging from 0 to 72.Higher scores indicates worse condition 9. Change in percent body surface area (BSA) affected by atopic dermatitis (AD) [Time frame for evaluation: From baseline to week 16] BSA affected by atopic dermatitis will be assessed for each major section of the body (head, trunk, arms, and legs). 10. Change in Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) (>=4 years) [Time frame for evaluation: From baseline to week 16] The CDLQI is a validated questionnaire designed to measure the impact of skin disease on the Quality of Life. The higher the score, the greater the impact is on the quality of life 11. Change in Infants' Dermatitis Quality of Life Index (IDQOL) (=12 years to = 12 to =6 years to =6 years old to =6 months to =6 years old to <12 years old range from 1 to 10 in which 1 indicates no itching while 10 indicate worst itching possible 16. Incidence of Adverse Event [Time frame for evaluation: From baseline to week 16] Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), SAEs, and AESIs 17. Incidence of Skin-infection TEAE [Time frame for evaluation: From baseline to week 16] Incidence of skin-infection TEAEs (excluding herpetic infections) 18. Incidence of Adverse Event during open-label extension [Time frame for evaluation: week 16 to week 17
