Outcome results
Percentage of Participants Achieving Eczema Area and Severity Index 75 (EASI75) (Placebo, 2 mg or 4 mg Baricitinib)
The EASI assesses objective physician estimates of 2 dimensions of atopic dermatitis - disease extent and clinical signs affected: 0 = 0%; 1 = 1-9%; 2 = 10-29%; 3 = 30-49%; 4 = 50-69%; 5 = 70-89%; 6 = 90-100% and the severity of 4 clinical signs: (1) erythema, (2) edema/papulation, (3) excoriation, and (4) lichenification each on a scale of 0 to 3 (0 = none, absent; 1 = mild; 2 = moderate; 3 = severe) at 4 body sites (head/neck, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs). Half scores are allowed between severities 1, 2, and 3. The final EASI score was obtained by weight-averaging these 4 scores and will range from 0 (no disease) to 72 (severe disease). The EASI75 is defined as a ≥ 75% improvement from baseline in the EASI score.

Change From Baseline in Body Surface Area (BSA) Affected
The BSA affected by AD will be assessed for 4 separate body regions and is collected as part of the EASI assessment: head and neck, trunk (including genital region), upper extremities, and lower extremities (including the buttocks). Each body region will be assessed for disease extent ranging from 0% to 100% involvement. The overall total percentage will be reported based off of all 4 body regions combined, after applying specific multipliers to the different body regions to account for the percent of the total BSA represented by each of the 4 regions. Use the percentage of skin affected for each region (0 to 100%) in EASI as follows: BSA Total = 0.1\*BSAhead and neck + 0.3\*BSAtrunk + 0.2\* BSAupper limbs + 0.4\*BSAlower limbs. LS Mean were calculated using MMRM model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity (IGA), visit, and treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical effects and baseline-by-visit-interaction as fixed continuous effects.

Change From Baseline in SCORAD
The SCORAD index uses the rule of nines to assess disease extent and evaluates 6 clinical characteristics to determine disease severity: (1) erythema, (2) edema/papulation, (3) oozing/crusts, (4) excoriation, (5) lichenification, and (6) dryness on a scale of 0 to 3 (0=absence, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe). The SCORAD index also assesses subjective symptoms of pruritus and sleep loss with VAS where 0 is no itching or no trouble sleeping and 10 is unbearable itching or a lot of trouble sleeping. These 3 aspects: extent of disease (A: 0-1-2), disease severity (B: 0-18), & subjective symptoms (C: 0-20) combine using A/5 + 7\*B/2+ C to give a maximum possible score of 103, where 0 = no disease and 103 = severe disease. LS Mean were calculated using MMRM model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity (IGA), visit, and treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical effects and baseline and baseline-by-visit-interaction as fixed continuous effects.

Change From Baseline in the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI)
The DLQI is a simple, participant-administered,10 question, validated, quality-of-life questionnaire that covers 6 domains including symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work and school, personal relationships, and treatment. The recall period of this scale is over the last week. Response categories include not at all, a little, a lot, and very much, with corresponding scores of 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and unanswered or not relevant responses scored as 0. Scores range from 0 to 30 (no impact on participant's life to extremely large effect on participant's life), and a 4-point change from baseline is considered as the minimal clinically important difference threshold. LS Means were calculated using MMRM model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity (IGA), visit, and treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical effects and baseline and baseline-by-visit-interaction as fixed continuous effects.

Change From Baseline in the Score of Item 2 of the Atopic Dermatitis Sleep Scale (ADSS)
The ADSS is a 3-item, participant-administered questionnaire developed to assess the impact of itch on sleep including difficulty falling asleep due to itch, frequency of waking due to itch, and difficulty getting back to sleep last night due to itch. Item 2 frequency of waking last night is reported by selecting the number of times they woke up each night, ranging from 0 to 29 times, where the higher a number indicates a worse outcome. The ADSS is designed to be completed daily, using a daily diary, with respondents thinking about sleep last night. Each item is scored individually. LS Mean were calculated using an MMRM model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity (IGA), visit, and treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical and baseline and baseline-by-visit-interaction as fixed continuous effects.

Change From Baseline in the Total Score of the Patient Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM)
The POEM is a 7-item self-assessment questionnaire that assesses disease symptoms (dryness, itching, flaking, cracking, sleep loss, bleeding and weeping) on a scale ranging from 0-4 (0 = no days, 1 = 1-2 days, 2 = 3-4 days, 3 = 5-6 days, 4 = everyday). The sum of the 7 items gives the total POEM score of 0 (absent disease) to 28 (severe disease). High scores are indicative of more severe disease and poor quality of life. LS Mean were calculated using MMRM model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity (IGA), visit, and treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical effects and baseline and baseline-by visit-interactions as fixed continuous effects.

The EASI assesses objective physician estimates of 2 dimensions of atopic dermatitis - disease extent and clinical signs affected: 0 = 0%; 1 = 1-9%; 2 = 10-29%; 3 = 30-49%; 4 = 50-69%; 5 = 70-89%; 6 = 90-100% and the severity of 4 clinical signs: (1) erythema, (2) edema/papulation, (3) excoriation, and (4) lichenification each on a scale of 0 to 3 (0 = none, absent; 1 = mild; 2 = moderate; 3 = severe) at 4 body sites (head/neck, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs). Half scores are allowed between severities 1, 2, and 3. The final EASI score was obtained by weight-averaging these 4 scores and will range from 0 (no disease) to 72 (severe disease). The EASI75 is defined as a ≥ 75% improvement from baseline in the EASI score.

The EASI assesses objective physician estimates of 2 dimensions of atopic dermatitis - disease extent and clinical signs affected: 0 = 0%; 1 = 1-9%; 2 = 10-29%; 3 = 30-49%; 4 = 50-69%; 5 = 70-89%; 6 = 90-100% and the severity of 4 clinical signs: (1) erythema, (2) edema/papulation, (3) excoriation, and (4) lichenification each on a scale of 0 to 3 (0 = none, absent; 1 = mild; 2 = moderate; 3 = severe) at 4 body sites (head/neck, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs). Half scores are allowed between severities 1, 2, and 3. The final EASI score was obtained by weight-averaging these 4 scores and will range from 0 (no disease) to 72 (severe disease). Least Squares Mean (LSM) were calculated using mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity (IGA), visit, and treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical effects and baseline score and baseline score-by-visit-interaction as fixed continuous effects.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 16
Population: All randomized participants with Week 16 EASI data.

Percent Change From Baseline in Itch NRS
The Itch NRS is a participant-administered, 11-point horizontal scale, with 0 representing no itch and 10 representing worst itch imaginable. Overall severity of a participant's itching is indicated by selecting the number, using a daily diary, that best describes the worst level of itching in the past 24 hours. LS Means were calculated using MMRM model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity, visit, and treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical effects and baseline and baseline-by-interaction as fixed continuous effects.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 16
Population: All randomized participants with Week 16 Itch NRS data.
