Long Term Extension Study of Tapinarof Cream, 1% for Subjects With Atopic Dermatitis

This is an open-label, long-term multicenter, study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of topical tapinarof cream, 1% in subjects with atopic dermatitis. Subjects in this study have completed treatment in one of two Phase 3 pivotal studies (DMVT-505-3101 or DMVT-505-3102) or completed treatment in the DMVT-505-2104 study, or directly enrolled into this study. This study will consist of up to 48 weeks of treatment and a 1 week safety follow-up period.

About this study

At the completion of the Week 8 visit of study DMVT-505-3101 (NCT05014568) or study DMVT-505-3102 (NCT05032859) or the Day 28 visit of study DMVT-505-2104 (NCT05186805) (Day 1 [Baseline] in this study), all eligible subjects will be offered enrollment in this open-label long-term extension (OL-LTE) study. Approximately 125 additional pediatric subjects ages 2 to < 18 years who are not eligible for participation in the Phase 3 pivotal studies (DMVT-505-3101 or DMVT-505-3102) will be enrolled directly into this OL-LTE study. Study visits during the treatment period for all subjects will occur every 4 weeks (± 3 days). The total duration of study participation will be approximately 48 weeks for rollover subjects (Baseline to Final Visit) with a 1-week Safety Follow-up Period and approximately 52 weeks for direct-enrolling subjects (Screening to Final Visit) with a 1-week Safety Follow-up Period.

  13. Complete Disease Clearance During LTE: Number of Subjects Achieving Disease Clearance vIGA-AD =0 (Clear) While on Therapy for Subjects Entered LTE vIGA-AD ≥ 1 (Almost Clear )

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 48

    The vIGA-AD is a clinical tool for assessing the current state/severity of a subject's atopic dermatitis at a given timepoint. It is a static 5-point (0-4) morphological assessment of overall disease severity (scalp excluded), as determined by the investigator, using the clinical characteristics of erythema, induration/papulation, lichenification, oozing/crusting. Higher vIGA-AD scores represents more severe disease.

  14. Response During LTE: Number of Subjects Achieving vIGA-AD =0 or 1 (Clear or Almost Clear) While on Therapy for Subjects Who Entered LTE With vIGA-AD ≥ 2 (Mild)

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 48

It is a static 5-point (0-4) morphological assessment of overall disease severity (scalp excluded), as determined by the investigator, using the clinical characteristics of erythema, induration/papulation, lichenification, oozing/crusting. Higher vIGA-AD scores represents more severe disease.

  15. Absolute Change From Baseline in %BSA Affected

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 48

    Subjects received treatment with tapinarof intermittently guided by disease severity. This outcome measure assesses the change from baseline in %BSA affected in all subjects, including those on and those off therapy.

    Assessment of BSA with Atopic Dermatitis was estimated by means of the handprint method, where the full palmar hand of the participant (fully extended palm, fingers and thumb together) represented approximately 1% of the total BSA. Body regions are assigned specific number of handprints with percentage [Head and neck = 10% (10 handprints), upper extremities = 20% (20 handprints), Trunk (including axillae and groin) = 30% (30 handprints), lower extremities (including buttocks) = 40% (40 handprints)]. Lesions on the scalp will not be included in the calculation of %BSA affected. Estimates of the % involvement in each body region will be multiplied by the fraction of total body area to obtain the total %BSA involved by region and overall.

  16. Percent Change From Baseline in %BSA Affected

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 48

    Subjects received treatment with tapinarof intermittently guided by disease severity. This outcome measure assesses the % change from baseline in %BSA affected in all subjects, including those on and those off therapy.

  17. Mean Change From Baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) Score

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 48

    Subjects received treatment with tapinarof intermittently guided by disease severity. This outcome measure assesses the change from baseline in EASI score in all subjects, including those on and those off therapy.

    The EASI scoring system is a clinical tool that quantifies the severity of a subject's AD based on both lesion severity and %BSA affected. The EASI is a composite score ranging from 0 to 72 that takes into account the degree of erythema, edema/papulation, excoriation, and lichenification (each scored from 0 to 3 separately) for each of four body regions, with adjustment for the %BSA involved for each body region relative to the whole body. The subject's scalp is excluded from this assessment. Higher EASI scores indicate more severe disease.

  18. Percent Change From Baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) Score

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 48

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 48

    The EASI scoring system is a clinical tool that quantifies the severity of a subject's AD based on both lesion severity and %BSA affected. The EASI is a composite score ranging from 0 to 72 that takes into account the degree of erythema, edema/papulation, excoriation, and lichenification (each scored from 0 to 3 separately) for each of four body regions, with adjustment for the %BSA involved for each body region relative to the whole body. Higher EASI scores indicate more severe disease.

The subject's scalp is excluded from this assessment. Higher EASI scores indicate more severe disease.

  22. Mean Change in Peak Pruritis-Numeric Rating Scale (PP-NRS) From Baseline

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 48

    The Peak Pruritus Numeric Rating Scale (PP-NRS) is used to quickly assess itch/pruritus severity over a 24-hour period. The PP-NRS is scored on a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being "no itch" and 10 being "worst itch imaginable". The subject or caregiver will utilize the scale to assess peak pruritis once per day and record the results in their diaries. The daily ratings are averaged to generate a score for the week.

  23. Number of Subjects With a Baseline Peak Pruritis-Numeric Rating Scale (PP-NRS) Score ≥ 4 Who Achieve ≥ 4-point Reduction in the PP-NRS From Baseline

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 48

    The Peak Pruritus Numeric Rating Scale (PP-NRS) is used to quickly assess itch/pruritus severity over a 24-hour period. The PP-NRS is scored on a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being "no itch" and 10 being "worst itch imaginable". The subject or caregiver will utilize the scale to assess peak pruritis once per day and record the results in their diaries. The daily ratings are averaged to generate a score for the week.
