Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Efficacy Endpoints-1-point IGAUp to week 16Proportion of subjects with 1-point reduction on the Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) from Baseline. The IGA assesses overall severity of a subject's NS based on a 5-point scale where 0 = clear, 1 = almost clear, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, and 4 = severe.
Efficacy Endpoints-2-point IGAUp to week 16Proportion of subjects with 2-point reduction in IGA from Baseline.
Efficacy Endpoints-NS SignUp to week 16Change from Baseline in each individual NS Sign (erythema and scaling). Severity of each NS sign is graded on a 5-point scale.
Efficacy Endpoints-BSAUp to week 16Change from Baseline in total Body Surface Area (BSA) affected by NS in the Treatment Area
Efficacy Endpoints-WI-NRS scoreUp to week 16Change from Baseline in the Worst Itch-Numeric Rating Scale (WI-NRS) score. Itch severity is graded on an 11-point scale where 0 represents "no itch" and 10 represents "worst itch imaginable".
Efficacy Endpoints-TSQMUp to week 16Assessment of subject satisfaction with treatment based on the Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM). The TSQM measures a subject's level of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the treatment. Composite scores can range from 0 to 100; higher scores indicate better satisfaction.
Efficacy Endpoints-Rescue TherapyUp to week 16Proportion of subjects requiring rescue therapy
Safety Endpoints-AEsUp to week 16Any local and systemic AEs (Adverse Events)/serious AEs
Safety Endpoints-LSRUp to week 16Number of subjects with presence of the following LSRs (Local Skin Reactions): edema, excoriations, oozing/vesiculation/crusting, and erosions at any study visit.
