A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness and Safety of Topical OPA-15406 Ointment to Treat Participants With Atopic Dermatitis

The IGA evaluation was performed by a certified rater. The IGA score, used to assess the overall disease severity, consists of a 6-point severity scale from clear to very severe disease (0 = clear, 1 = almost clear, 2 = mild disease, 3 = moderate disease, 4 = severe disease, and 5 = very severe disease). The IGA uses clinical characteristics of erythema, infiltration, papulation, oozing, and crusting as guidelines for the overall severity assessment. The IGA assessment was performed for the overall selected treatment area(s): overall percentage body surface area to be treated and additionally for the target lesion. Success was defined as a score of 0 or 1 with at least a 2-grade reduction from Baseline. Participants without IGA score at Week 4 were treated as non-responders. In the sensitivity analysis, missing IGA score at Week 4 was imputed using LOCF method first and the success was defined based on the imputed IGA score.

The IGA evaluation was performed by a certified rater. The IGA allows for an assessment of overall disease severity at a given time point, and it consists of a 6-point severity scale from clear to very severe disease (0 = clear, 1 = almost clear, 2 = mild disease, 3 = moderate disease, 4 = severe disease, and 5 = very severe disease). The IGA uses clinical characteristics of erythema, infiltration, papulation, oozing, and crusting as guidelines for the overall severity assessment. The IGA assessment was performed for the overall selected treatment area(s): overall percentage body surface area to be treated and additionally for the target lesion. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement in overall IGA score.

Missing overall IGA scores at Week 4 were imputed using LOCF method. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement in overall IGA score.

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related. An serious adverse event (SAE) was defined as any event which resulted in death, was life-threatening, was a persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, required in-patient hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or was another medically significant event.

The IGA assessment was performed for the overall selected treatment area(s): overall percentage body surface area to be treated and additionally for the target lesion. Success was defined as a score of 0 or 1 with at least a 2-grade reduction from Baseline. In the primary analysis, participants without IGA score available at Week 8 were treated as non-responders. In the sensitivity analysis, the missing IGA score at Week 8 was imputed using LOCF method first and the success was defined based on the imputed IGA score.

The EASI evaluation assesses the extent of disease at 4 body sites and measures 4 clinical signs: (1) erythema, (2) induration/papulation, (3) excoriation, and (4) lichenification, each on a scale from 0 (no disease) to 3 (very severe). The EASI scale allows for a maximum score of 72. The EASI assessment was performed on overall body. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement in EASI score.

At each evaluation, the participants were asked to record their current pruritus intensity over their body overall, not just within the selected treatment areas[s] (i.e., intensity over the last 24 hours) on a horizontal 100-mm line marked as "No itch" on the left end and "Worst imaginable itch" on the right end. The VAS assessment was performed on the overall impression of itch on the body and not just for the selected treatment area(s) or for the target lesion. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement in VAS score.
