MeasureTime frameDescription
Atopic Dermatitis Severity Index (ADSI) Score at Day 14Day 14ADSI score was used to measure the severity of participant's AD affected lesion. It evaluated 5 signs of AD (erythema, pruritus, exudation, excoriation and lichenification) in each lesion. Each sign was rated by investigator on a scale of 0 (none) to 3 (severe), where higher score indicated more severe condition. Total ADSI score for each lesion was sum of scores of the 5 signs and ranged from 0 (none) to 15 (most severe), where higher score indicated more severe condition.

Atopic Dermatitis Severity Index (ADSI) Score at Baseline (Day 1)

ADSI score was used to measure the severity of participant's atopic dermatitis (AD) affected lesion. It evaluated 5 signs of AD (erythema, pruritus, exudation, excoriation and lichenification) in each lesion. Each sign was rated by investigator on a scale of 0 (none) to 3 (severe), where higher score indicated more severe condition. Total ADSI score for each lesion was sum of scores of the 5 signs and ranged from 0 (none) to 15 (most severe), where higher score indicated more severe condition.

Time frame: Baseline (Day 1)

Population: The intent-to-treat (ITT) population included all randomized participants who received study medication.
