|---|---|---|
| Percent Change of Total Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) Score | Baseline, Week 16 | The Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) is a standardized instrument to evaluate the extent and severity of atopic dermatitis. An area score comprised of the percentage of skin affected by eczema for each of 4 body regions (head/neck, trunk, upper extremities, and lower extremities) is calculated with 0 = none, 1 = 1-9%, 2 = 10-29%, 3 = 30-49%, 4 = 50-69%, 5 = 70-89%, and 6 = 90-100%. Severity is scored for each of the 4 body regions by the summation of the intensity scores for 4 signs (redness, thickness, scratching, and lichenification), with 0 = none/absent, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, and 3 = severe. The minimum final EASI score is 0 and the maximum score is 72. |

A total score (0-103) is calculated, with higher scores indicating a higher extent and severity of symptoms. |
