Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT03363854
Lead Sponsor
LEO Pharma
Brief Summary

Primary objective:

To demonstrate that tralokinumab in combination with topical corticosteroids (TCS) is superior to placebo in combination with TCS in treating moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD).

Secondary objectives:

To evaluate the efficacy of tralokinumab in combination with TCS on severity and extent of AD, itch, and health-related quality of life compared with placebo in combination with TCS.

To assess the safety of tralokinumab in combination with TCS when used to treat moderate-to-severe AD for 32 weeks.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Participants With Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) Score of 0 (Clear) or 1 (Almost Clear) at Week 16Week 16

IGA is used to evaluate the severity of atopic dermatitis. It is a 5-point score ranging from 0 (clear) to 4 (severe).

Participants Achieving at Least 75% Reduction in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) at Week 16Week 16

EASI is used to evaluate the extent and severity of atopic dermatitis. It is a composite score ranging from 0 to 72 with a higher score indicating a more extensive and/or severe condition.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Score From Baseline to Week 16Week 0 to Week 16

DLQI is used by the participant to evaluate the impact of their condition on 10 different aspects of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) over the last week. Each item is scored on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (not at all/not relevant) to 3 (very much). The total score which is the sum of the 10 items ranges from 0 to 30, with a higher score indicating a poorer HRQoL.

Number of Atopic Dermatitis Flares Through Week 16Week 0 to Week 16

Assessed as appearance of new flares since previous visit.

Participants Achieving at Least 75% Reduction in Scoring Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) at Week 16Week 16

SCORAD is used to evaluate the extent and severity of atopic dermatitis as well as subjective symptoms. The score ranges from 0 to 103 with a higher score indicating a more extensive and/or severe condition.

Participants With Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) Score of 0 (Clear) or 1 (Almost Clear) at Week 32 Among Participants With IGA Score of 0 or 1 at Week 16 After Initial Randomisation to TralokinumabWeek 32
