    Measured: Post-dose on Days 1, 3, 8, 18, and 29

  8. Part A: Number of Participants With at Least One Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)

    Adverse Event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a study drug which may/may not have a causal relationship with study drug. Serious AE (SAE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that resulted in any of following outcomes: death, life-threatening, required initial/prolonged in-participant hospitalization, persistent/significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect/considered as medically important event. TEAE was defined as AE starting/worsening after first intake of study drug. TEAEs included participants with both SAEs and non-SAEs. Number of participants with TEAEs is reported.

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 4

  9. Part A: Number of Participants With TEAEs by Severity According to Qualitative Toxicity Scale

    Severity of TEAEs were graded using Qualitative Toxicity Scale, as follows: Mild: Participant is aware of the event or symptom, but the event or symptom is easily tolerated; Moderate: Participant experiences sufficient discomfort to interfere with or reduce his or her usual level of activity; Severe: Significant impairment of functioning: the participant is unable to carry out his or her usual activities. Number of participants with TEAEs by severity were reported.

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 4

  10. Part B: Percentage of Participants With Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) Score 0 or 1 at Week 16

    The IGA is an assessment scale used in clinical studies to rate the severity of AD globally, based on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 to 4 where 0 = clear; 1=almost clear; 2=mild; 3=moderate; 4=severe. A negative change from baseline indicated improvement. Percentage of participants with IGA score of '0' or '1' is reported.

    Measured: Week 16

  11. Part B: Percentage of Participants With Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) -75 (EASI-75) (≥75% Improvement From Baseline) at Week 16

    The EASI score is used to measure the severity and extent of AD and measured erythema, infiltration, excoriation and lichenification on 4 anatomic regions of the body: head, trunk, upper, and lower extremities. The total EASI score ranges from 0 (minimum) to 72 (maximum) points, with the higher scores indicating the worse severity of AD. EASI-75 responders were the participants who achieved ≥75% overall improvement in EASI score from baseline at Week 16.

  20. Part B: Change From Baseline in Dermatitis Family Index (DFI) at Week 16

    DFI is a 10-item questionnaire with items inquiring about housework, food preparation, sleep, family leisure activity, shopping, expenditure, tiredness, emotional distress, relationships, and impact of helping with treatment on the primary caregiver's life. DFI questions were scored on a four-point Likert scale ranging from 0 to 3, so that the total DFI score ranges from 0 to 30. Timeframe of reference was the past week. A higher DFI score indicated greater impairment in family Quality of life (QOL) as affected by atopic dermatitis. A negative change from baseline indicated improvement.

    Measured: Week 16

  21. Part B: Change From Baseline in Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) at Week 16

    CDLQI is a validated 10 question tool to measure impact of skin disease on QOL in children by assessing how much the skin problem has affected the subjects over past week. Nine questions were scored as follows: Very much = 3, Quite a lot = 2, Only a little = 1, Not at all or unanswered = 0. Question 7 has an added possible response, which was scored as 3. CDLQI equals the sum of the score of each question (max. = 30, min. = 0). Higher the score, the greater the impact on QOL. A negative change from baseline indicated improvement.

    Measured: Week 16

  22. Part B: Change From Baseline in Infants' Dermatology Quality of Life Index (IDQOL) at Week 16

    Infants' Dermatitis Quality of Life Index (IDQOL) is used to evaluate quality of life for subjects of age less than 4 years. IDQOL questionnaires were designed for infants (below the age of 4 years) with atopic dermatitis. The IDQOL was calculated by summing the score of each question resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0. The higher the score in each questionnaire, the more quality of life is impaired. A negative change from baseline indicated improvement.

    Measured: Week 16

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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.
