Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Proportion of participants achieving IGA-CHE-TSWeek 16

The Investigator's Global Assessment-Chronic Hand Eczema (IGA-CHE) is an instrument used to rate the severity of the participant's global chronic hand eczema (CHE) and is based on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (clear) to 4 (severe). IGA-CHE treatment success (IGA-CHE TS) is defined as an IGA-CHE score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear) with a ≥2-step improvement from baseline.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Proportion of participants with a ≥ 4-point improvement in chronic hand eczema (CHE) related Itch Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scoreWeek 16

The Itch NRS is an instrument for measurement of intensity and participant will rate the intensity of their itch on an 11-point scale ranging from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst itch imaginable).

Proportion of participants with a ≥ 4-point improvement in chronic hand eczema (CHE) related Itch NRS scoreDay 3

The Itch NRS is an instrument for measurement of intensity and participant will rate the intensity of their itch on an 11-point scale ranging from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst itch imaginable).

Proportion of participants achieving an IGA-CHE-TS from baselineUp to Week 32

The Investigator's Global Assessment for chronic hand eczema (IGA-CHE) is an instrument used to rate the severity of the participant's global chronic hand eczema (CHE) and is based on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (clear) to 4 (severe). IGA-CHE treatment success (IGA-CHE TS) is defined as an IGA-CHE score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear) with a ≥2-step improvement from baseline.

Change from baseline in CHE-related Itch NRS scoreUp to Week 32

The Itch NRS is an instrument for measurement of itch intensity and participant will rate the intensity of their itch on an 11-point scale ranging from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst itch imaginable).

Time to ≥ 4-point improvement from baseline in CHE-related Itch NRS scoreUp to Week 32

The Itch NRS is an instrument for measurement of itch intensity and participant will rate the intensity of their itch on an 11-point scale ranging from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst itch imaginable).

Change from baseline in CHE-related Skin Pain NRS scoreUp to Week 32

The Pain NRS is an instrument for measurement of pain intensity and participant will rate the intensity of their pain on an 11-point scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable).

Proportion of participants with a ≥ 2-point improvement in CHE-related Pain NRS scoreWeek 16

The Pain NRS is an instrument for measurement of pain intensity and participant will rate the intensity of their pain on an 11-point scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable).

Time to ≥ 2-point improvement from baseline in CHE-related Pain NRS scoreUp to Week 32

The Pain NRS is an instrument for measurement of pain intensity and participant will rate the intensity of their pain on an 11-point scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable).

Percentage change from baseline in Hand Eczema Severity Index (HECSI)Week 16

The Hand Eczema Severity Index (HECSI) is an instrument used to rate the severity of 6 clinical signs (erythema, infiltration/papulation, vesicles, fissures, scaling, and oedema) and the extent of the lesions in each of the 5 hand regions (fingertips, fingers \[except fingertips\], palm of hands, back of hands, and wrists) by use of standard scales.

Proportion of participants with each score on the PGICUp to Week 32

The PGIC is based on a 7-point scale and the participant will rate each question from the start of treatment 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.

Change from baseline in DLQI scoreUp to week 32

The Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) is a 10-question questionnaire to measure how much the skin problem has affected the participant over the previous 7 days and participant will rate each question as 1-very much, 2- a lot, 3-a little, or 4-not at all.

Change from baseline in EQ-5D-5L scoreUp to Week 32

The EQ-5D-5L questionnaire is a standardized, validated instrument for use as a measure of health outcome. The descriptive system comprises 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: Level 1 = no problems, Level 2 = slight problems, Level 3 = moderate problems, Level 4 = severe problems, and Level 5 = extreme problems.

Change from baseline in QOLHEQ scoreUp to week 32, followed by 30 days follow-up

The Quality of Life in Hand Eczema Questionnaire (QOLHEQ) is a disease-specific instrument to assess disease-specific health-related quality of life in participants with CHE over the past 7 days. It consists of 30 items covering impairments in 4 domains: 1) symptoms, 2) emotions, 3) limitations in functioning, and 4) treatment and prevention. Each item is scored in a 5-point scale: 0) never, 1) rarely, 2) sometimes, 3) often, and 4) all the time.

Change from baseline in WPAI-ChHDUp to week 32, followed by 30 days follow-up

The Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire Specific Health Problem v2.0 in Chronic Hand Eczema (WPAI-ChHD) questionnaire is a 6-item questionnaire used to assess the impact of chronic hand dermatitis on job performance and productivity over the past 7 days.

Number of Participants with Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE)Up to week 32, followed by 30 days follow-up

Defined as any adverse event either reported for the first time or worsening of a pre-existing event after first dose of study drug.
