Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Achievement of Success on the Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) at Week 8Week 8

The percentage of participants achieving IGA "success" is presented. Success is defined as a score of 0 ('clear') or 1 ('almost clear') plus a 2-point improvement at Week 8. The IGA is 5-point scale assessing the severity of seborrheic dermatitis with total scores ranging from 0 ('clear') to 4 ('severe') \[higher scores indicating greater severity\].

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Achievement of Success on the IGA at Week 2Week 2

The percentage of participants achieving WI-NRS "success" is presented. The WI-NRS is a simple, single-item scale to assess the participant-reported severity of this symptom, on a scale ranging from 0 ("no itch") to 10 ("worst imaginable itch") the participants experienced in the previous 24 hours (higher scores indicate higher itch severity). The endpoint is the average of daily assessments reported during each study week, and requires at least 4 daily assessments reported during the week. In participants with a weekly average baseline pruritus score of ≥4, "success" is defined as achievement of a ≥4-point improvement from baseline in weekly average WI-NRS pruritus score at Week 2.

Achievement of Success in the WI-NRS at Week 2Week 2

The percentage of participants achieving WI-NRS "success" is presented. In participants with a weekly average baseline pruritus score of ≥4, "success" is defined as achievement of a ≥4-point improvement from baseline in weekly average WI-NRS pruritus score at Week 2. The endpoint is the average of daily assessments reported during each study week, and requires at least 4 daily assessments reported during the week. The WI-NRS is a simple, single-item scale to assess the participant-reported severity of this symptom, on a scale ranging from 0 ("no itch") to 10 ("worst imaginable itch") the participants experienced in the previous 24 hours (higher scores indicate higher itch severity).

Achievement of Success on the IGA at Week 4Week 4

The percentage of participants achieving IGA "success" is presented. Success is defined as a score of 0 ('clear') or 1 ('almost clear') plus a 2-point improvement at Week 8. The IGA is 5-point scale assessing the severity of seborrheic dermatitis with total scores ranging from 0 ('clear') to 4 ('severe') \[higher scores indicating greater severity\].

Achievement of Overall Assessment of Scaling Score of 0 at Week 8Week 8

The percentage of participants achieving Overall Assessment of Scaling score of 0 at Week 8 is presented. The Overall Assessment of Scaling is a simple, single-item scale to assess the subject-reported severity of this symptom, on a scale ranging from 0 ("No scaling: No scaling evident on lesions.") to 3 ("Severe: Coarse, thick scales, with flaking into clothes or skin."). Higher scores indicate greater symptom severity.

Achievement of Overall Assessment of Erythema Score of 0 at Week 8Week 8

The percentage of participants achieving Overall Assessment of Erythema score of 0 at Week 8 is presented. The Erythema Assessment is a simple, single-item scale to assess the subject-reported severity of this symptom, on a scale ranging from 0 ("None: no evidence of erythema.") to 3 ("Severe: Intense \[fiery red\] erythema."). Higher scores indicate greater severity.

Achievement of Success in the Worst Itch Numeric Rating Scale (WI-NRS) at Week 8Week 8

The percentage of participants achieving WI-NRS "success" is presented. The WI-NRS is a simple, single-item scale to assess the participant-reported severity of this symptom, on a scale ranging from 0 ("no itch") to 10 ("worst imaginable itch") the participants experienced in the previous 24 hours (higher scores indicate higher itch severity). The endpoint is the average of daily assessments reported during each study week, and requires at least 4 daily assessments reported during the week. In participants with a weekly average baseline pruritus score of ≥4, "success" is defined as achievement of a ≥4-point improvement from baseline in weekly average WI-NRS pruritus score at Week 8.

In participants with a weekly average baseline pruritus score of ≥4, "success" is defined as achievement of a ≥4-point improvement from baseline in weekly average WI-NRS pruritus score at Week 4.
