  • Willingness to avoid pregnancy or fathering of children.
Exclusion Criteria
  • Unstable course of AD (spontaneously improving or rapidly deteriorating) as determined by the investigator in the 4 weeks prior to Baseline.

  • Concurrent conditions and history of other diseases:

    • Immunocompromised.
    • Chronic or acute infection requiring treatment with systemic antibiotics, antivirals, antiparasitics, antiprotozoals, or antifungals within 2 weeks before Baseline.
    • Active acute bacterial, fungal, or viral skin infection within 1 week before Baseline.
    • Any other concomitant skin disorder, pigmentation, or extensive scarring that, in the opinion of the investigator, may interfere with the evaluation of AD lesions or compromise participant safety.
    • Presence of AD lesions only on the hands or feet without prior history of involvement of other classical areas of involvement such as the face or the folds.
    • Other types of eczema.
  • Any serious illness or medical, physical, or psychiatric condition(s) that, in the investigator's opinion, would interfere with full participation in the study, including administration of study drug and attending required study visits; pose a significant risk to the participant; or interfere with interpretation of study data.

  • Use of any of the following treatments within the indicated washout period before Baseline:

    • 5 half-lives or 12 weeks, whichever is longer - biologic agents (e.g. dupilumab).
    • 4 weeks - systemic corticosteroids or adrenocorticotropic hormone analogs, cyclosporin, methotrexate, azathioprine, or other systemic immunosuppressive or immunomodulating agents (e.g. mycophenolate or tacrolimus).
    • 2 weeks - immunizations and sedating antihistamines, unless on long-term stable regimen (nonsedating antihistamines are permitted).
    • 1 week - use of other topical treatments for AD (other than bland emollients). Diluted sodium hypochlorite "bleach" baths are allowed as long as they do not exceed 2 baths per week and their frequency remains the same throughout the study.
  • Participants who have previously received Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors, systemic or topical.

  • Ultraviolet (UV) light therapy or prolonged exposure to natural or artificial sources of UV radiation within 2 weeks prior to Baseline and/or intention to have such exposure during the study, which is thought by the investigator to potentially impact the participant's AD.

  • Positive serology test results at screening for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody.

  • Liver function tests: aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≥ 2 × upper limit of normal (ULN); alkaline phosphatase and/or bilirubin > 1.5 × ULN (isolated bilirubin > 1.5 × ULN is acceptable if bilirubin is fractionated and direct bilirubin < 35%).

  • Pregnant or lactating participants, or those considering pregnancy.

  • History of alcoholism or drug addiction within 1 year before screening or current alcohol or drug use that, in the opinion of the investigator, will interfere with the participant's ability to comply with the administration schedule and study assessments.

  • Current treatment or treatment within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) before Baseline with another investigational medication or current enrollment in another investigational drug protocol.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
VC Period: Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Investigator's Global Assessment - Treatment Success (IGA-TS) at Week 8Baseline to Week 8

The IGA is an overall eczema severity rating on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (clear skin) to 4 (severe disease). The score is based on an overall assessment of the degree of erythema, induration/papulation, and oozing/crusting. The IGA-TS is defined as an IGA score of 0 (clear skin) or 1 (almost clear skin) with ≥ 2 grade improvement from Baseline.

The SCORAD is a tool to assess extent and severity of eczema. To determine the extent, the rule of nines or handprint method is used to assess eczema affected area (A). To determine disease severity (B) it evaluates 6 clinical characteristics: 1. redness, 2. swelling, 3. oozing/crusting, 4. scratch marks, 5. lichenification, and 6. dryness on a 4-point scale of 0 to 3 (0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe), added to give B with maximum score of 18. Subjective symptoms (C) of itch and sleeplessness are assessed using a visual analogue scale where 0 is no itch (or no sleeplessness) and 10 is the worst imaginable itch (or sleeplessness), added to give C with maximum score of 20. These 3 aspects: extent of disease (A: 0-1-2), disease severity (B: 0-18), \& subjective symptoms (C: 0-20) combined using A/5 + 7\*B/2+ C to give a maximum possible score of 103, where 0 = no disease and 103 = severe disease.

The sum of the 7 items gives the total POEM score of 0 (absent disease) to 28 (severe disease). High scores are indicative of more severe disease and poor quality of life. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

VC Period: Change From Baseline in Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) ScoreBaseline, Weeks 2, 4, and 8

The DLQI is a simple, 10 question (Q) validated quality-of-life questionnaire to measure how much the skin problem has affected the participant. It covers 6 domains including symptoms and feelings (Q1 and Q2), daily activities (Q3 and Q4), leisure (Q5 and Q6), work and school (Q7), personal relationships (Q8 and Q9), and treatment(Q10). The recall Period of this scale is over the last week. Response categories include 0-not at all, 1-a little, 2-a lot, and 3-very much, and unanswered or not relevant responses scored as 0. Scores range from 0 ("no impact on participant's life") to 30 ("extremely large effect on participant's life"), and a 4-point change from Baseline is considered as the minimal clinically important difference threshold. A negative change from Baseline indicates less impact of the skin problem on participant's life.

The total DLQI score is calculated by adding the score of each question resulting in a maximum score of 30 (extremely large effect on participant's life) and a minimum score of 0 (no impact on participant's life) and a 4-point change from Baseline is considered as the minimal clinically important difference threshold. A negative change from Baseline indicates less impact of the skin problem on participant's life.

VC Period: Percentage of Participants With a Score of Either 1 or 2 on the PGIC at Weeks 2, 4, and 8Weeks 2, 4 and 8

The PGIC is a participants' self-reporting measure that reflects their belief about the efficacy of treatment. It is a 7-point scale where participants rate the questions as: 1=very much improved, 2=much improved, 3=minimally improved, 4=no change, 5=minimally worse, 6=much worse, and 7=very much worse. The lower score indicates improvement.

VC Period: Change From Baseline in Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM) ScoreBaseline, Weeks 2, 4 and 8

The POEM is a 7-question quality-of-life assessment that asks how many days the participant has been bothered by various aspects of their skin condition during the past 7 days. It assesses disease symptoms (dryness, itching, flaking, cracking, sleep loss, bleeding and weeping) on a scale ranging from 0-4 (0 = no days, 1 = 1-2 days, 2 = 3-4 days, 3 = 5-6 days, 4 = everyday). The sum of the 7 items gives the total POEM score of 0 (absent disease) to 28 (severe disease). High scores are indicative of more severe disease and poor quality of life. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

VC Period: Mean Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) Score at Weeks 2, 4, and 8Weeks 2, 4 and 8

The PGIC is a participants' self-reporting measure that reflects their belief about the efficacy of treatment. It is a 7-point scale where participants rate the questions as: 1=very much improved, 2=much improved, 3=minimally improved, 4=no change, 5=minimally worse, 6=much worse, and 7=very much worse. The lower score indicates improvement.

VC Period: Percentage of Participants With Each Score on the PGIC at Weeks 2, 4, and 8Weeks 2, 4 and 8

The PGIC is a participants' self-reporting measure that reflects their belief about the efficacy of treatment. It is a 7-point scale where participants rate the questions as: 1=very much improved, 2=much improved, 3=minimally improved, 4=no change, 5=minimally worse, 6=much worse, and 7=very much worse. The lower score indicates improvement.

VC Period: Change From Baseline in EuroQuality of Life Five Dimensions (EQ-5D-5L) Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) ScoreBaseline, Weeks 2, 4 and 8

EQ-5D-5L questionnaire has 2 parts: EQ-5D-5L descriptive system \& EQ-VAS. EQ-5D is a validated, self-administered, generic utility questionnaire wherein participants rate their current health state based on 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. 5L indicates that for each dimension, there are 5 levels:1=no problems,2=slight problems,3=moderate problems,4=severe problems, and 5=extreme problems. EQ-5D-5L score is assessed using VAS that ranges from 0 to 100 millimetres (mm), where 0 indicates "worst health you can imagine" and 100 indicates "best health you can imagine". The participant was asked to indicate his/her health state over past 7 days in each of the 5 dimensions. Digits for the 5 dimensions can be combined into a 5-digit number that describes the participant's health state. In the EQ-VAS, participants had to record their health state on a scale ranging from 0 to 100. A positive change from Baseline indicates improvement.

LTS Period: Change From Baseline in WPAI-SHP v2.0Baseline, Weeks 12, 24, 36, and 52

The WPAI-SHP is a 6-item participant questionnaire developed to measure the effect of overall health and specific symptoms on productivity at work and regular activities outside of it in the past 7 days. The WPAI-SHP consists of 6 questions as follows: 1=currently employed; 2=hours missed due to AD; 3=hours missed other reasons; 4=hours actually worked; 5=degree AD affected productivity while working; 6=degree AD affected regular activities and the computed percentage, range for each sub scale is from 0 to 100, with higher values indicating greater impairment and less productivity. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

VC Period: Trough Plasma Concentrations of RuxolitinibPre-dose at Weeks 2, 4 and 8

Plasma samples were collected just before the morning application of study drug during each specified time point.
