Percent Change From Baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) Score at Week 16
EASI assesses severity and extent of AD signs through a composite score of erythema, induration/population, excoriation, and lichenification. Each characteristic was assessed for severity on a scale of 0 (absent) to 3 (severe) for each of the 4 body areas: head/neck, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs. The EASI score can range from 0 to 72 with higher scores representing greater severity of AD.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 16
Population: ITT population included all enrolled participants who signed informed consent form. Here, Overall number of participants analyzed signifies those participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure.

Percent Change From Baseline in SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) Score at Week 16
Scoring Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) is a validated measure commonly used to assess the severity and the extent of AD signs and symptoms. SCORAD is a clinical tool for assessing the severity and the extent of AD signs and symptoms. Extent and intensity of six types of basic lesions (erythema/darkening, edema/papule, oozing/crusting, excoriation, lichenification/prurigo and dryness) and symptoms (itching and loss of sleep) were assessed and scored. Total score ranges from 0 (absent disease) to 103 (severe disease).

Percent Change From Baseline in Weekly Average of Average Pruritus Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) Score at Week 16
Pruritus NRS is a scale that was used by the participants to report the intensity of their pruritus (itch) during the last 24 hours. Participants were asked the following question: how would a participant rate his itch at the worst moment during the previous 24 hours (for maximum itch intensity on a scale of 0 - 10 \[0 = no itch; 10 = worst itch imaginable\]), higher scores indicated greater severity.

Percent Change From Baseline in Weekly Average Sleep Disturbance Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) Score at Week 16
The sleep disturbance NRS is a scale used by the participants to report the degree of their sleep loss related to AD. Participants were asked the following questions in their local language: how would you rate your sleep last night? On a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being 'no sleep loss related to signs/symptoms of AD' and 10 being 'I cannot sleep at all due to the signs/symptoms of AD'. Higher scores indicate worse outcome.
