Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Have chronic Atopic Dermatitis (AD) that has been present for ≥1 year before the screening. * Have moderate-to-severe AD, including all of the following: * EASI score ≥16 at the baseline * IGA score ≥3 (scale of 0 to 4) at the baseline * AD involvement on ≥10% of Body Surface Area (BSA) at the baseline * Have a documented history provided by a physician and/or investigator of inadequate response to existing topical medications within 6 months preceding screening as defined by at least 1 of the following: * Inability to achieve good disease control, defined as mild disease or better (for example, IGA ≤2) after use of at least a medium-potency topical corticosteroids (TCS) for at least 4 weeks, or for the maximum duration recommended by the product prescribing information (for example, 14 days for super-potent TCS), whichever is shorter. Topical corticosteroids may be used with or without Topical calcineurin inhibitors (TCI) and/or topical Janus Kinase (JAK) inhibitors. * Participants who failed systemic therapies intended to treat AD within 6 months preceding screening, such as cyclosporine, methotrexate (MTX), azathioprine, and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), will also be considered as surrogates for having inadequate response to topical therapy. * Body weight ≥40 kilogram (kg)

| Percentage of Participants With an Investigators Global Assessment (IGA) Score of 0 or 1 and a Reduction ≥2 Points From Baseline to Week 16 | Baseline to Week 16 | The IGA measures the investigator's global assessment of the participant's overall severity of their atopic dermatitis (AD), based on a static, numeric 5-point scale from 0 (clear skin) to 4 (severe disease). The score is based on an overall assessment of the degree of erythema, papulation/induration, oozing/crusting, and lichenification. |
| Percentage of Participants Achieving Eczema Area Severity Index-75 (EASI-75) (≥75% Reduction in EASI Score) at Week 16 | Week 16 | The EASI assesses objective physician estimates of 2 dimensions of atopic dermatitis - disease extent, i.e., percentage of skin 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-75 score was obtained by weight-averaging these 4 scores and will range from 0 (none) to 72 (severe).

Recruitment details
Induction period (16-weeks): Participants were randomly assigned to 250mg Lebrikizumab every 2 weeks (Q2W) or 250mg Lebrikizumab every 4 weeks (Q4W) or Placebo. Maintenance period (52-weeks): At week 16, responders from 250mg Lebrikizumab Q2W were re-randomised to 250mg Lebrikizumab Q2W and 250mg Lebrikizumab Q4W; responders from 250mg Lebrikizumab Q4W or Placebo arms continued with same treatment. Responders were defined as having an IGA of 0 or 1 or a 75% reduction in EASI (EASI-75).

The EASI assesses objective physician estimates of 2 dimensions of atopic dermatitis - disease extent, i.e., percentage of skin 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-75 score was obtained by weight-averaging these 4 scores and will range from 0 (none) to 72 (severe). The EASI-75 responder is defined as a participant who achieves a ≥ 75% improvement from baseline in the EASI score.
