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)

Exclusion criteria

* Have a history of anaphylaxis * Have uncontrolled chronic disease that might require bursts of oral corticosteroids for example, comorbid severe uncontrolled asthma within the past 12 months requiring systemic corticosteroid treatment or hospitalization for \>24 hours at baseline. * Have an active chronic or acute infection requiring treatment with systemic antibiotics, antivirals, antiparasitics, antiprotozoals, or antifungals within 2 weeks before the baseline or superficial skin infections within 1 week before the baseline. * Evidence of acute or chronic hepatitis or known liver cirrhosis. * Have a history of pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) or a positive beta-D-glucan test at screening and a confirmed diagnosis of PCP. * Have a history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or positive HIV serology at screening. * Have presence of skin comorbidities (for example, sclerosis, psoriasis, or lupus erythematosus) that may interfere with study assessments. * Have presence of significant uncontrolled neuropsychiatric disorder. * Have been exposed to a live vaccine within 12 weeks prior to baseline or are expected to need/receive a live vaccine during the study or up to 125 days after the last dose of study drug.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With an Investigators Global Assessment (IGA) Score of 0 or 1 and a Reduction ≥2 Points From Baseline to Week 16Baseline to Week 16The 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 16Week 16The 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.

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).

Pre-assignment details

(continued) Escape arm: Induction non-responder (i.e.) participants who do not achieve an IGA of 0 or 1 or an EASI-75 at Week 16 and maintenance non-responders (i.e.) those not maintaining an EASI-50 response at week 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, or 64 following week 16 were assigned to an Escape Arm and received lebrikizumab 250 mg as open-label treatment Q2W through Week 68. Throughout the trial, participants received the study drug in combination with topical corticosteroid.
