Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Chronic AD that had been present for at least 2 years

Exclusion criteria

  • Prior treatment with Dupilumab
  • Hypersensitivity to corticosteroids or to any other ingredients contained by the TCS product used in the study
  • AD lesions located on face, flexural, and genital areas
  • Certain treatments and medical procedures, undertaken within a particular time frame prior to the baseline visit, preclude eligibility for participation in the study
  • Treatment with a live (attenuated) vaccine within 12 weeks before the baseline visit
  • Treatment with an investigational drug within 8 weeks
  • Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
  • Presence of certain laboratory abnormalities at the screening visit
  • History of certain opportunistic infections or certain clinical parasite infections
  • History of malignancy within 5 years before the baseline visit, with certain exceptions
  • Pregnant or breast-feeding women
  • Travel within 12 months of study start to areas endemic for parasitic infections, such as developing countries in Africa and the tropical and subtropical regions of Asia
  • History of alcohol or drug abuse within 2 years of the screening visit
  • Any medical or psychiatric condition which, in the opinion of the investigator or the sponsor's medical monitor, would place the patient at risk, interfere with participation in the study, or interfere with the interpretation of study results

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Time frame: Baseline up to the end of study (up to Day 78)

    Any untoward medical occurrence in a subject who received investigational medicinal product (IMP) was considered an AE without regard to possibility of causal relationship with this treatment. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were defined as AEs that developed or worsened or became serious during on-treatment period (from start of administration of first dose of study drug to the end of study [up to Day 78]). A serious adverse event (SAE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that resulted in any of following outcomes: death, life-threatening, required initial or prolonged in-patient hospitalization, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect, or considered as medically important event. Any TEAE included participants with both serious and non-serious AEs.

Other outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) Score: Reduction of ≥50 at Day 29 - Censored Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF)

    Time frame: Day 29

    The EASI score was used to measure the severity and extent of atopic dermatitis (AD) and measures erythema, infiltration, excoriation and lichenification on 4 anatomic regions of the body: head, trunk, upper and lower extremities. The total EASI score range from 0 (minimum) to 72 (maximum) points, with the higher scores reflecting the worse severity of AD. The efficacy data were set to missing after prohibited medication was used or after the participant was discontinued from the study. Then, all missing values were imputed by simple LOCF.

  2. Percent Change in Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) From Day 1 (Baseline) to Day 29 (Week 4)

    Time frame: Baseline up to Day 29

    Pruritus NRS was an assessment tool that was used to report the intensity of participant's pruritus (itch), both maximum and average intensity, during a 24-hour recall period. Participants were asked the following question: how would a participant rate his itch at the worst moment during the previous 24 hours (for maximum itch intensity on a scale of 0 - 10 [0 = no itch; 10 = worst itch imaginable]).

  3. Percentage of Participants Achieving an Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) Score of "0" or "1" at Day 29

    Time frame: Day 29

    IGA was an assessment scale used to determine severity of AD and clinical response to treatment on a 5-point scale (0 = clear; 1 = almost clear; 2 = mild; 3 = moderate; 4 = severe) based on erythema and papulation/infiltration. Therapeutic response was an IGA score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear).

  4. Percent Change in Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) Score From Day 1 (Baseline) to Day 29 (Week 4) - Censored LOCF

    Time frame: Baseline up to Day 29

    IGA was an assessment scale used to determine severity of AD and clinical response to treatment on a 5-point scale (0 = clear; 1 = almost clear; 2 = mild; 3 = moderate; 4 = severe) based on erythema and papulation/infiltration. Therapeutic response was an IGA score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear). The efficacy data were set to missing after prohibited medication was used or after the participant was discontinued from the study. Then, all missing values were imputed by simple LOCF.

  5. Percent Change in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) Score From Day 1 (Baseline) to Day 29 (Week 4) - Censored LOCF

    Time frame: Baseline up to Day 29

    EASI score was used to measure the severity and extent of atopic dermatitis (AD) and measures 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 reflecting the worse severity of AD. The efficacy data were set to missing after prohibited medication was used or after the participant was discontinued from the study. Then, all missing values were imputed by simple LOCF.
