Brief summary
This is a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, active-controlled, multi-center study to assess the efficacy and safety of abrocitinib 200 mg (2 x 100 mg tablets) administered orally QD compared with dupilumab 300 mg administered by subcutaneous injection every other week (as per label guidelines) in adult participants on background topical therapy, with moderate to severe AD. The treatment duration is 26 weeks. A total of approximately 600 participants will be enrolled from approximately 220 sites globally. Approximately 600 participants will be randomly assigned to study intervention. There are primary efficacy assessments at Week 2 and Week 4, and a key secondary efficacy assessment at Week 16. Efficacy and safety endpoints will be assessed throughout the entire study. Exploratory endpoints related to hand eczema efficacy will be assessed throughout the study.
Interventions
Abrocitinib 200 mg administered as two 100 mg tablets to be taken orally once daily for 26 weeks. Placebo injections will be administered every other week for 24 weeks.
Dupilumab 300 mg administered as a single subcutaneous injection every other week for 24 weeks (2 injections on day 1). Placebo tablets will be administered daily.

| Percent Change From Baseline in the Percentage (%) Body Surface Area (BSA) Affected at Week 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 26 | Baseline (Day 1), Week 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 26 | The extent (%) to which a body region was involved with AD was determined using handprint method. Number of handprints (size of participant's hand with fingers in a closed position) fitting in the affected area of a body region was estimated. Four body regions were evaluated: head and neck, upper limbs, trunk (including axillae and groin/genitals) and lower limbs (including buttocks). Total number of handprints were 10 for head and neck, 20 for upper limbs, 30 for trunk and 40 for lower limbs. Surface area of body region equivalent to 1 handprint: 1 handprint was equal to 10% for head and neck, 5% for upper limbs, 3.33% for trunk and 2.5% for lower limbs. Percent BSA for a body region was calculated as = total number of handprints in a body region \* % surface area equivalent to 1 handprint. Overall % BSA for an individual was derived as sum of % BSA across all 4 body regions and ranged from 0 to 100%, with higher values representing greater severity of AD. |

Change From Baseline in EuroQol Quality of Life 5-Dimension 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L) Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Score at Week 12, 16 and 26
The EQ-5D-5L is a self-reported health status questionnaire that consisted of six questions used to calculate a health utility score. There were two components to the EQ-5D-5L: a five-item health state profile that assessed mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression used to obtain an Index Utility Score, as well as a VAS that measured health state. EQ-5D VAS was used to record participant's rating for his/her current health-related quality of life state on a vertical VAS with scores ranging from 0 to 100, where 0 = worst imaginable health state and 100 = best imaginable health state.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 1), Week 12, 16 and 26
Population: FAS comprised of all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study intervention. Here, 'Overall Number of Participants Analyzed' signifies participants evaluable for this outcome measure.

Change From Baseline in Medical Outcomes Study - Sleep Scale (MOS-Sleep Scale) at Week 12, 16 and 26
The MOS Sleep Scale is a 12-item measure that is segregated into subscales addressing seven sleep domains (i.e. sleep disturbance, snoring, short of breath or headache, adequacy of sleep, somnolence, sleep problems index I and sleep problems index II). An additional single item assessed quantity of sleep. Each of the sleep domains were scored on a range of 0 to 100, and higher scores indicated worse outcomes. The quantity of sleep scores ranged from 0 to 24 (number of hours slept). Change from baseline scores for each individual sleep domain and quantity of sleep are reported in this outcome measure.

Percent Change From Baseline in the Percentage (%) Body Surface Area (BSA) Affected at Week 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 26
The extent (%) to which a body region was involved with AD was determined using handprint method. Number of handprints (size of participant's hand with fingers in a closed position) fitting in the affected area of a body region was estimated. Four body regions were evaluated: head and neck, upper limbs, trunk (including axillae and groin/genitals) and lower limbs (including buttocks). Total number of handprints were 10 for head and neck, 20 for upper limbs, 30 for trunk and 40 for lower limbs. Surface area of body region equivalent to 1 handprint: 1 handprint was equal to 10% for head and neck, 5% for upper limbs, 3.33% for trunk and 2.5% for lower limbs. Percent BSA for a body region was calculated as = total number of handprints in a body region \* % surface area equivalent to 1 handprint. Overall % BSA for an individual was derived as sum of % BSA across all 4 body regions and ranged from 0 to 100%, with higher values representing greater severity of AD.

Percent Change From Baseline in the SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) Total Score at Week 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 26
SCORAD is a scoring index for AD which combined extent (A), severity (B) and subjective symptoms (C). For A, a rule of 9 was used to calculate BSA affected by AD as % of whole BSA for each body region- head and neck 9%; upper limbs 9% each; lower limbs 18% each; anterior trunk 18%; back 18%; genitals 1%. Score of each body region was added to determine A (range: 0-100). B: severity of each sign (erythema; edema/papulation; oozing/crusting; excoriation; skin thickening; dryness) was assessed as none (0), mild (1), moderate (2), severe (3); severity scores were added to give B (range: 0-18). C: pruritus and sleep loss, each of these 2 were scored by participant/caregiver using visual analog scale (VAS) where, 0=no itch/no sleep loss and 10=worst imaginable itch/sleep loss, higher scores=worse symptoms. Scores for itch and sleep loss were added to give 'C' (range: 0-20). SCORAD total score was calculated as: A/5+7\*B/2+C; range (0-103); higher values=worse outcome.

Time to Achieve >=4 Points Improvement in Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (PP-NRS4)
The severity of itch (pruritus) due to AD was assessed using the PP-NRS, a validated horizontal NRS. Participants were asked to assess their worst itching due to AD over the past 24 hours on an NRS with scale ranging from 0 to 10, where 0= no itch and 10= worst itch imaginable. Higher scores indicated worse itch.
