A Study to Evaluate Upadacitinib in Adolescents and Adults With Moderate to Severe Atopic Dermatitis (Measure Up 2)

EASI is a tool used to measure the extent (area) and severity of atopic eczema based on assessments of the head/ neck, trunk, upper limbs and lower limbs. For each region the area score is recorded as the percentage of skin affected by eczema. For each region, the severity score is calculated as the sum of the intensity scores (scored as none [0], mild [1], moderate [2], or severe [3]) for redness (erythema, inflammation), thickness (induration, papulation, swelling - acute eczema), scratching (excoriation), and lichenification (lined skin, prurigo nodules - chronic eczema).

The total EASI score for each region is calculated by multiplying the severity score by the area score, with adjustment for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. The final EASI score is the sum of the 4 region scores and ranges from 0 to 72 where higher scores represent worse disease.

The vIGA-AD is a validated assessment instrument to rate the severity of atopic dermatitis globally, based on the following scale:

• 0 - Clear: No inflammatory signs of AD;
• 1 - Almost clear: Barely perceptible erythema, induration/papulation and/or lichenification, no oozing or crusting;
• 2 - Mild: Slight but definite erythema, induration/papulation and/or minimal lichenification, no oozing or crusting;
• 3 - Moderate: Clearly perceptible erythema, induration/papulation and/or lichenification, oozing or crusting may be present;
• 4 - Severe: Marked erythema, induration/papulation and/or lichenification; Oozing or crusting may be present.

Participants were asked to rate itch (pruritus) intensity at its worst during the past 24 hours on a daily basis using an 11-point scale from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst imaginable itch). Worst Pruritus NRS was analyzed based on weekly rolling averages of daily scores.
