What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) of 0 or 1 With a ≥ 2 Point Improvement (Placebo, 2mg and 4mg Baricitinib)

    The IGA measures the investigator's global assessment of the participants 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.

    Measured: 16 Weeks

Secondary outcomes (23)
  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving IGA of 0 or 1 With a ≥ 2 Point Improvement (Placebo, 1mg Baricitinib)

    The IGA measures the investigator's global assessment of the participants overall severity of their 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.

    Measured: 16 Weeks

  2. Percentage of Participants Achieving Eczema Area and Severity Index 75 (EASI75)

    The EASI assesses objective physician estimates of 2 dimensions of atopic dermatitis - disease extent and clinical signs 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 score is obtained by weight-averaging these 4 scores and will range from 0 to 72 (severe). The EASI75 is defined as a ≥ 75% improvement from baseline in the EASI score.

    Measured: 16 Weeks

  3. Percentage of Participants Achieving EASI90

Half scores are allowed between severities 1, 2 and 3. The final EASI score is obtained by weight-averaging these 4 scores and will range from 0 to 72 (severe). The EASI90 is defined as a ≥ 90% improvement from baseline in the EASI score.

    Measured: 16 Weeks

  4. Percent Change From Baseline on EASI Score

    The EASI assesses objective physician estimates of 2 dimensions of AD - disease extent and clinical signs 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 score is obtained by weight-averaging these 4 scores and will range from 0 to 72 (severe).

    Least Square (LS) Means were calculated using a mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity (IGA), visit, and treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical effects and baseline and baseline-by-visit-interaction as fixed continuous effects.

    Measured: Baseline, 16 Weeks

  5. Percentage of Participants Achieving SCORing Atopic Dermatitis 75 (SCORAD75)

    The SCORAD index uses the rule of nines to assess disease extent and evaluates 6 clinical characteristics to determine disease severity: (1) erythema, (2) edema/papulation, (3) oozing/crusts, (4) excoriation, (5) lichenification, and (6) dryness on a scale of 0 to 3 (0=absence, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe). The SCORAD index also assesses subjective symptoms of pruritus and sleep loss with VAS where 0 is no itching or no trouble sleeping and 10 is unbearable Itching or lot of trouble sleeping. These 3 aspects: extent of disease (A: 0-1-2), disease severity (B: 0-18), \& subjective symptoms (C: 0-20) combine using A/5 + 7*B/2+ C to give a maximum possible score of 103, where 0 = no disease and 103 = severe disease.

  6. Percentage of Participants Achieving a 4-Point Improvement in Itch Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)

    The Itch Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) is a participant-administered, 11-point horizontal scale anchored at 0 and 10, with 0 representing "no itch" and 10 representing "worst itch imaginable." Overall severity of a participants itching is indicated by selecting the number, using a daily diary, that best describes the worst level of itching in the past 24 hours.

    Measured: 16 Weeks

  7. Change From Baseline in the Score of Item 2 of the Atopic Dermatitis Sleep Scale (ADSS)

    Atopic Dermatitis Sleep Scale (ADSS) is a 3-item, participant-administered questionnaire developed to assess the impact of itch on sleep including difficulty falling asleep, frequency of waking, and difficulty getting back to sleep last night. Item 2, frequency of waking last night is reported by selecting the number of times they woke up each night, ranging from 0 to 29 times, where the higher a number indicates a worse outcome. The ADSS is designed to be completed daily, using a daily diary, with respondents thinking about sleep "last night." Each item is scored individually.

    LS Means were calculated using a MMRM model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity (IGA), visit, and treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical effects and baseline and baseline-by- visit-interaction as fixed continuous effects.

    Measured: Baseline, 16 Weeks

  8. Change From Baseline in Skin Pain NRS

    Skin Pain NRS is a participant-administered, 11-point horizontal scale anchored at 0 and 10, with 0 representing "no pain" and 10 representing "worst pain imaginable." Overall severity of a participant's skin pain is indicated by selecting the number, using a daily diary, that best describes the worst level of skin pain in the past 24 hours.

    LSMean was calculated using MMRM model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity (IGA), visit, and treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical effects and baseline and baseline-by-visit-interaction as fixed continuous effects.

    Measured: Baseline, 16 Weeks

    Body surface area affected by AD will be assessed for 4 separate body regions and is collected as part of the EASI assessment: head and neck, trunk (including genital region), upper extremities, and lower extremities (including the buttocks). Each body region will be assessed for disease extent ranging from 0% to 100% involvement. The overall total percentage will be reported based off of all 4 body regions combined, after applying specific multipliers to the different body regions to account for the percent of the total BSA represented by each of the 4 regions.

    Use the percentage of skin affected for each region (0 to 100%) in EASI as follows:

    BSA Total = 0.1*BSAhead and neck + 0.3*BSAtrunk + 0.2* BSAupper limbs + 0.4*BSAlower limbs.

  16. Change From Baseline in the Total Score of the Patient Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM)

    The POEM is a 7-item self-assessment questionnaire that assesses disease symptoms (dryness, itching, flaking, cracking, sleep loss, bleeding and weeping) on a scale ranging from 0-4 (0 = no days, 1 = 1-2 days, 2 = 3-4 days, 3 = 5-6 days, 4 = everyday). The sum of the 7 items gives the total POEM score of 0 (absent disease) to 28 (severe disease). High scores are indicative of more severe disease and poor quality of life.

    LSMean were calculated using MMRM model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity (IGA), visit, \& treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical effects. Baseline and baseline-by-visit-interaction as fixed continuous effects.

    Measured: Baseline, 16 Weeks

  17. Change From Baseline in the Patient Global Impression of Severity-Atopic Dermatitis (PGI-S-AD) Score

    The PGI-S-AD asked the participant to evaluate the severity of the disease at that point in time on a single-item, 5-point scale, using a daily diary. The same category labels used in the Physician's Global Assessment were used for the PGI-S-AD, ie, "(0) no symptoms", "(1) very mild", "(2) mild" "(3) moderate", and "(4) severe." LS Means were calculated using a MMRM model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity (IGA), visit, and treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical effects and baseline and baseline-by-visit-interaction as fixed continuous effects.

    Measured: Baseline, 16 Weeks

  18. Change From Baseline on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)

    The HADS is a participant-rated instrument used to assess both anxiety and depression. This instrument consists of 14 items questionnaire, each item is rated on a 4-point scale, giving maximum scores of 21 for anxiety and depression. Scores of 11 or more on either subscale are considered to be a significant 'case' of psychological morbidity, while scores of 8-10 represent 'borderline' and 0-7, 'normal.

    LSMean were calculated using MMRM model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity (IGA), visit, \& treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical effects. Baseline and baseline-by-visit-interaction as fixed continuous effects.

    Measured: Baseline, 16 Weeks

  19. Change From Baseline on the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI)

    The DLQI is a simple, participant-administered, 10 question, validated, quality-of-life questionnaire that covers 6 domains: symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work and school, personal relationships, and treatment. The recall period of this scale is over the last "week." Response categories include "not at all," "a lot," and "very much," with corresponding scores of 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and unanswered ("not relevant") responses scored as "0." Scores range from 0 to 30 (less to more impairment), and a 4-point change from baseline is considered as the minimal clinically important difference threshold.

    LSMean were calculated using MMRM model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity (IGA), visit, \& treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical effects. Baseline and baseline-by-visit-interaction as fixed continuous effects.

    Measured: Baseline, 16 Weeks

  20. Change From Baseline on the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment - Atopic Dermatitis (WPAI-AD) Questionnaire

    The WPAI-AD participant questionnaire was developed to measure the effect of general health and symptom severity on work productivity and regular activities in the 7 days prior to the visit. The WPAI-AD consists of 6 items grouped in 4 domains: absenteeism (work time missed), presenteeism (impairment at work/reduced on-the-job effectiveness), work productivity loss (overall work impairment/absenteeism plus presenteeism), and activity impairment, that range from 0% to 100%, with higher values indicating greater impairment. LSMean were calculated using MMRM model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity (IGA), visit, \& treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical effects. Baseline and baseline-by-visit-interaction as fixed continuous effects.

    Measured: Baseline, 16 Weeks

  21. Change From Baseline on the European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions 5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) Index Score United States and United Kingdom Algorithm

    EQ-5D-5L is a 2-part measurement. The first part is comprised of the following 5 participant-reported dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems. The responses are used to derive the health state index scores using the United Kingdom (UK) algorithm, with scores ranging from -0.594 to 1, and the United States (US) algorithm, with scores ranging from -0.109 to 1. A higher score indicates better health state.

    LSMean were calculated using MMRM model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity (IGA), visit, \& treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical effects. Baseline and baseline-by-visit-interaction as fixed continuous effects.

    Measured: Baseline, 16 Weeks

  22. Change From Baseline on the European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions 5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) Visual Analog Score (VAS)

    EQ-5D-5L is a 2-part measurement. The second part is assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS) that ranged from 0 to 100 millimeter (mm), where 0 is the worst health you can imagine and 100 is the best health you can imagine.

    LSMean were calculated using MMRM model with treatment, region, baseline disease severity (IGA), visit, \& treatment-by-visit-interaction as fixed categorical effects. Baseline and baseline-by-visit-interaction as fixed continuous effects.

    Measured: Baseline, 16 Weeks

  23. Percentage of Participants Achieving Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) of 0 or 1 With a ≥ 2 Point Improvement

    The IGA measures the investigator's global assessment of the participants overall severity of their 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.

    Measured: 4 Weeks

A Phase 3 study testing Baricitinib in people with Atopic Dermatitis, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 80 sites in 10 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 18 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jan 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 80 sites in Japan, Poland, Hungary, Spain, Argentina and 5 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Jan 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of Participants Achieving Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) of 0 or 1 With a ≥ 2 Point Improvement (Placebo, 2mg and 4mg Baricitinib) (time frame: 16 Weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03334422, which also lists 6 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Jan 2020.
