Brief summary

The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of upadacitinib for the treatment of adolescent and adult participants with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD) who are candidates for systemic therapy.

Detailed description

This study includes a 35-day screening period, a 16-week double-blind period, a blinded extension period up to Week 260, and a 30-day follow-up visit. Participants who meet eligibility criteria in the main study will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive a daily oral dose of upadacitinib 30 mg or upadacitinib 15 mg or matching placebo. Upon completion of enrollment of a minimum of 810 participants in the main study, a supplemental study will continue to enroll adolescents (adolescent sub-study) until a total of 180 adolescent participants are enrolled overall (main study + adolescent sub-study). Randomization in the main study will be stratified by baseline disease severity (validated Investigator Global Assessment scale for Atopic Dermatitis \[vIGA-AD\] score of moderate \[3\] versus severe \[4\]), by geographic region (United States \[US\]/Puerto Rico/Canada, and Other), and by age (adolescent \[ages 12 to 17\] versus adult \[ages 18 to 75\]). The separate randomization for the adolescent sub-study will be stratified by baseline disease severity (moderate \[vIGA-AD = 3\] vs. severe \[vIGA-AD = 4\]) and by geographic region (US/Puerto Rico/Canada and Other). At Week 16 of the main study and the adolescent sub-study, participants in the placebo group will be re-randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive daily oral doses of upadacitinib 30 mg or upadacitinib 15 mg in the blinded extension period. In the main study the re-randomization at Week 16 will be stratified by Week 16 50% improvement in Eczema Area and Severity Index \[EASI 50\] responder \[Yes/No\], geographic region \[US/Puerto Rico/Canada, and other\], and age group \[adolescent/adult\]. For the adolescent sub-study, the re-randomization will be stratified by EASI 50 responder (Yes/No) and by geographic region (US/Puerto Rico/Canada and Other). Participants originally randomized to upadacitinib will continue upadacitinib in the extension period at the same dose. Starting at the Week 4 visit, rescue treatment for AD may be provided at the discretion of the investigator if medically necessary. The Primary Analysis for the main study will be conducted after all ongoing participants have completed Week 16. In addition, a Primary Analysis for the adolescent population (including the adolescent participants from the main study and the adolescent sub-study) will be conducted after all ongoing adolescent participants have completed Week 16.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Main Study: Percentage of Participants Achieving at Least a 75% Reduction in Eczema Area and Severity Index Score (EASI 75) From Baseline at Week 16Baseline and Week 16EASI is a tool used to measure the extent (area) and severity of atopic eczema based on assessments of the head/ neck, trunk, upper limbs and lower limbs. For each region the area score is recorded as the percentage of skin affected by eczema. For each region, the severity score is calculated as the sum of the intensity scores (scored as none \[0\], mild \[1\], moderate \[2\], or severe \[3\]) for redness (erythema, inflammation), thickness (induration, papulation, swelling - acute eczema), scratching (excoriation), and lichenification (lined skin, prurigo nodules - chronic eczema). The total EASI score for each region is calculated by multiplying the severity score by the area score, with adjustment for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. The final EASI score is the sum of the 4 region scores and ranges from 0 to 72 where higher scores represent worse disease.
Main Study: Percentage of Participants Achieving Validated Investigator Global Assessment for Atopic Dermatitis (vIGA-AD) of 0 or 1 With a Reduction From Baseline of ≥ 2 Points at Week 16Baseline and Week 16The vIGA-AD is a validated assessment instrument to rate the severity of atopic dermatitis globally, based on the following scale: * 0 - Clear: No inflammatory signs of AD; * 1 - Almost clear: Barely perceptible erythema, induration/papulation and/or lichenification, no oozing or crusting; * 2 - Mild: Slight but definite erythema, induration/papulation and/or minimal lichenification, no oozing or crusting; * 3 - Moderate: Clearly perceptible erythema, induration/papulation and/or lichenification, oozing or crusting may be present; * 4 - Severe: Marked erythema, induration/papulation and/or lichenification; Oozing or crusting may be present.

The intensity part of the SCORAD (B) consists of 6 items: erythema, oedema/papulation, excoriations, lichenification, oozing/crusts and dryness, each graded on a scale from 0 (none) to 3 (severe), for a total score of 0 to 18. Subjective items (C) include daily pruritus and sleeplessness, each scored on a visual analogue scale (VAS) from 0 to 10 (total score 0-20). SCORAD is calculated as A/5 + 7B/2 + C, and ranges from 0 to 103 (worst). A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.
Adolescents: Percentage of Participants Achieving HADS-A Score and HADS-D Score of < 8 at Week 16Week 16The HADS is a 14-item questionnaire, with seven items related to anxiety (HADS-A) and seven items related to depression (HADS-D). Each item is scored from 0 to 3; scores for each subscale range from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating more distress. For each domain, scores 7 or lower are considered normal, 8 to 10 are borderline, and 11 or higher indicate clinical anxiety or depression.
Adolescents: Percentage of Participants Achieving a DLQI Score of 0 or 1 at Week 16Week 16The DLQI is a 10-item validated questionnaire used to assess the impact of AD disease symptoms and treatment on quality of life (QoL). It consists of 10 questions evaluating impact of skin diseases on different aspects of a participant's QoL over the prior week, including symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work or school, personal relationships, and the side effects of treatment. Each item is scored on a 4-point scale (0 = not at all/not relevant; 1 = a little; 2 = a lot; and 3 = very much). Item scores are added to provide a total score, ranging from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating greater impairment of QoL. A score of 0 or 1 means that the disease has no effect at all. the DLQI was administered to participants who were ≥ 16 (16 to 75) years old at the time of the Screening visit.
Main Study: Percentage of Participants Achieving a Reduction of ≥ 4 Points From Baseline in Worst Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) at Week 16Baseline (last available rolling average before the first dose of study drug) and Week 16Participants were asked to rate itch (pruritus) intensity at its worst during the past 24 hours on a daily basis using an 11-point scale from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst imaginable itch). Worst Pruritus NRS was analyzed based on weekly rolling averages of daily scores.
Main Study: Percentage of Participants Achieving a 90% Reduction From Baseline in EASI Score (EASI 90) at Week 16Baseline and Week 16EASI is a tool used to measure the extent (area) and severity of atopic eczema based on assessments of the head/neck, trunk, upper limbs and lower limbs. For each region the area score is recorded as the percentage of skin affected by eczema. For each region, the severity score is calculated as the sum of the intensity scores (scored as none \[0\], mild \[1\], moderate \[2\], or severe \[3\]) for redness (erythema, inflammation), thickness (induration, papulation, swelling - acute eczema), scratching (excoriation), and lichenification (lined skin, prurigo nodules - chronic eczema). The total EASI score for each region is calculated by multiplying the severity score by the area score, with adjustment for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. The final EASI score is the sum of the 4 region scores and ranges from 0 to 72 where higher scores represent worse disease.
Main Study: Percentage of Participants Achieving a Reduction of ≥ 4 Points From Baseline in Worst Pruritus NRS at Week 4Baseline (last available rolling average before the first dose of study drug) and Week 4Participants were asked to rate itch (pruritus) intensity at its worst during the past 24 hours on a daily basis using an 11-point scale from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst imaginable itch). Worst Pruritus NRS was analyzed based on weekly rolling averages of daily scores.

Outcome results

Primary

Main Study: Percentage of Participants Achieving at Least a 75% Reduction in Eczema Area and Severity Index Score (EASI 75) From Baseline at Week 16

EASI is a tool used to measure the extent (area) and severity of atopic eczema based on assessments of the head/ neck, trunk, upper limbs and lower limbs. For each region the area score is recorded as the percentage of skin affected by eczema. For each region, the severity score is calculated as the sum of the intensity scores (scored as none \[0\], mild \[1\], moderate \[2\], or severe \[3\]) for redness (erythema, inflammation), thickness (induration, papulation, swelling - acute eczema), scratching (excoriation), and lichenification (lined skin, prurigo nodules - chronic eczema). The total EASI score for each region is calculated by multiplying the severity score by the area score, with adjustment for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. The final EASI score is the sum of the 4 region scores and ranges from 0 to 72 where higher scores represent worse disease.

Time frame: Baseline and Week 16

Population: The intent-to-treat population for the main study (ITT\_M) includes all participants who were randomized in the main study (adults and adolescents). Non-responder imputation incorporating multiple imputation to handle missing data due to coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic (COVID-19) (NRI-C) was used.~The pre-specified primary analysis included participants enrolled in the main study only; Efficacy analyses of adolescent participants were conducted separately and are reported below.

The DLQI is a 10-item validated questionnaire used to assess the impact of AD disease symptoms and treatment on quality of life (QoL). It consists of 10 questions evaluating impact of skin diseases on different aspects of a participant's QoL over the prior week, including symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work or school, personal relationships, and the side effects of treatment. Each item is scored on a 4-point scale (0 = not at all/not relevant; 1 = a little; 2 = a lot; and 3 = very much). Item scores are added to provide a total score, ranging from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating greater impairment of QoL. A score of 0 or 1 means that the disease has no effect at all. the DLQI was administered to participants who were ≥ 16 (16 to 75) years old at the time of the Screening visit.

Adolescents: Percent Change From Baseline in EASI Score at Week 16

EASI is a tool used to measure the extent (area) and severity of atopic eczema based on assessments of the head/neck, trunk, upper limbs and lower limbs. For each region the area score is recorded as the percentage of skin affected by eczema. For each region, the severity score is calculated as the sum of the intensity scores (scored as none \[0\], mild \[1)\] moderate \[2\], or severe \[3\]) for Redness (erythema, inflammation), Thickness (induration, papulation, swelling - acute eczema), Scratching (excoriation), and Lichenification (lined skin, prurigo nodules - chronic eczema). The total EASI score for each region is calculated by multiplying the severity score by the area score, with adjustment for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. The final EASI score is the sum of the 4 region scores and ranges from 0 to 72 where higher scores represent worse disease; a negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

For each region, the severity score is calculated as the sum of the intensity scores (scored as none \[0\], mild \[1\], moderate \[2\], or severe \[3\]) for redness (erythema, inflammation), thickness (induration, papulation, swelling - acute eczema), scratching (excoriation), and lichenification (lined skin, prurigo nodules - chronic eczema). The total EASI score for each region is calculated by multiplying the severity score by the area score, with adjustment for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. The final EASI score is the sum of the 4 region scores and ranges from 0 to 72 where higher scores represent worse disease.

Main Study: Percentage of Participants Achieving a DLQI Score of 0 or 1 at Week 16

The DLQI is a 10-item validated questionnaire used to assess the impact of AD disease symptoms and treatment on quality of life (QoL). It consists of 10 questions evaluating impact of skin diseases on different aspects of a participant's QoL over the prior week, including symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work or school, personal relationships, and the side effects of treatment. Each item is scored on a 4-point scale (0 = not at all/not relevant; 1 = a little; 2 = a lot; and 3 = very much). Item scores are added to provide a total score, ranging from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating greater impairment of QoL. A score of 0 or 1 means that the disease has no effect at all. The DLQI was administered to participants who were ≥ 16 (16 to 75) years old at the time of the Screening visit.

Main Study: Percent Change From Baseline in EASI Score at Week 16

EASI is a tool used to measure the extent (area) and severity of atopic eczema based on assessments of the head/neck, trunk, upper limbs and lower limbs. For each region the area score is recorded as the percentage of skin affected by eczema. For each region, the severity score is calculated as the sum of the intensity scores (scored as none \[0\], mild \[1)\] moderate \[2\], or severe \[3\]) for Redness (erythema, inflammation), Thickness (induration, papulation, swelling - acute eczema), Scratching (excoriation), and Lichenification (lined skin, prurigo nodules - chronic eczema). The total EASI score for each region is calculated by multiplying the severity score by the area score, with adjustment for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. The final EASI score is the sum of the 4 region scores and ranges from 0 to 72 where higher scores represent worse disease; a negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

Main Study: Percent Change From Baseline in Scoring Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) Score at Week 16

SCORAD is a clinical tool used to assess the extent and severity of eczema (SCORing Atopic Dermatitis). The extent is assessed using the rule of 9 to calculate the affected area (A) as a percentage of the whole body (0-100%). The intensity part of the SCORAD (B) consists of 6 items: erythema, oedema/papulation, excoriations, lichenification, oozing/crusts and dryness, each graded on a scale from 0 (none) to 3 (severe), for a total score of 0 to 18. Subjective items (C) include daily pruritus and sleeplessness, each scored on a visual analogue scale (VAS) from 0 to 10 (total score 0-20). SCORAD is calculated as A/5 + 7B/2 + C, and ranges from 0 to 103 (worst). A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

Main Study: Percent Change From Baseline in Worst Pruritus NRS at Week 16

Participants were asked to rate itch (pruritus) intensity at its worst during the past 24 hours on a daily basis using an 11-point scale from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst imaginable itch). Worst Pruritus NRS was analyzed based on weekly rolling averages of daily scores. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

Time frame: Baseline (last available rolling average before the first dose of study drug) and Week 16

Population: Intent-to-treat population for the main study with non-missing Baseline and Week 16 values; missing data were handled using a mixed-effect model with repeated measurements (MMRM) including observed measurements at all visits, except that measurements after any rescue medication were excluded.
