Brief Title
Evaluation of Upadacitinib in Adolescent and Adult Patients With Moderate to Severe Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema)
Detailed Description
This study includes a 35-day screening period, a 16-week double-blind period, a blinded extension period up to Week 260, and a 30-day follow-up visit.

Participants who meet eligibility criteria in the main study will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive a daily oral dose of upadacitinib 30 mg or upadacitinib 15 mg or matching placebo. Upon completion of enrollment of 810 participants in the main study, a supplemental study will continue to enroll adolescents (adolescent sub-study) until a total of 180 adolescent participants are enrolled in the overall study (main study + adolescent sub-study).

Randomization for the main study will be stratified by baseline disease severity (validated Investigator Global Assessment scale for Atopic Dermatitis \[vIGA-AD\] score of moderate \[3\] versus severe \[4\]), by geographic region (United States \[US\]/Puerto Rico/Canada, Japan, China, and Other), and by age (adolescent \[ages 12 to 17\] versus adult \[ages 18 to 75\]). The separate randomization for the adolescent sub-study will be stratified by baseline disease severity (moderate \[vIGA-AD 3\] vs. severe \[vIGA-AD 4\]) and by geographic region (US/Puerto Rico/Canada and Other).

At Week 16 of the main study and the adolescent sub-study, participants in the placebo group will be re-randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive daily oral doses of upadacitinib 30 mg or upadacitinib 15 mg in the blinded extension period. In the main study the re-randomization at Week 16 will be stratified by Week 16 50% improvement in Eczema Area and Severity Index \[EASI 50\] responder \[yes/no\], geographic region \[US/Puerto Rico/Canada, China \[Mainland\], Japan, and other\], and age group \[adolescent/adult\]. For the adolescent sub-study, the re-randomization will be stratified by EASI 50 responder (Yes/No) and by geographic region (US/Puerto Rico/Canada and Other).

Participants originally randomized to upadacitinib will continue upadacitinib in the extension period at the same dose.

Starting at the Week 4 visit, rescue treatment for AD may be provided at the discretion of the investigator if medically necessary.

The Primary Analysis for the main study will be conducted after all ongoing participants have completed Week 16. In addition, a Primary Analysis for the adolescent population (including the adolescent participants from the main study and the adolescent sub-study) will be conducted after all ongoing adolescent participants have completed Week 16.

Primary Outcomes
Outcome Description
EASI is a tool used to measure the extent (area) and severity of atopic eczema based on assessments of the head/neck, trunk, upper limbs and lower limbs. For each region the area score is recorded as the percentage of skin affected by eczema. For each region, the severity score is calculated as the sum of the intensity scores (scored as none \[0\], mild \[1\], moderate \[2\], or severe \[3\]) for redness (erythema, inflammation), thickness (induration, papulation, swelling - acute eczema), scratching (excoriation), and lichenification (lined skin, prurigo nodules - chronic eczema).

The total EASI score for each region is calculated by multiplying the severity score by the area score, with adjustment for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. The final EASI score is the sum of the 4 region scores and ranges from 0 to 72 where higher scores represent worse disease.

The ADerm-IS is a 10-item patient reported outcome questionnaire designed to assess a variety of impacts that participants experience from their AD.

The ADerm-IS sleep domain consists of 3 questions designed to assess the impact of AD on sleep on a daily basis over a 24-hour recall period. The items include difficulty falling asleep, impact on sleep, and waking at night. Each question is scored on an 11-point NRS from 0 (no impact) to 10 (extreme impact). The ADerm-IS sleep domain score is the sum of the 3 item scores and ranges from 0 (no impact) to 30 (worst impact). The ADerm-IS sleep domain was analyzed based on weekly rolling averages of daily scores.

The minimal clinically important difference for ADerm-IS sleep domain score is 12.

Outcome Description
EASI is a tool used to measure the extent (area) and severity of atopic eczema based on assessments of the head/neck, trunk, upper limbs and lower limbs. For each region the area score is recorded as the percentage of skin affected by eczema. For each region, the severity score is calculated as the sum of the intensity scores (scored as none \[0\], mild \[1\], moderate \[2\], or severe \[3\]) for redness (erythema, inflammation), thickness (induration, papulation, swelling - acute eczema), scratching (excoriation), and lichenification (lined skin, prurigo nodules - chronic eczema).

The total EASI score for each region is calculated by multiplying the severity score by the area score, with adjustment for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. The final EASI score is the sum of the 4 region scores and ranges from 0 to 72 where higher scores represent worse disease.

An EASI 100 response is defined as a 100% reduction (improvement) from Baseline in EASI score.

Adolescents: Percentage of Participants Achieving an EASI 100 Response at Week 16
Outcome Description
Participants were asked to rate itch (pruritus) intensity at its worst during the past 24 hours on a daily basis using an 11-point scale from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst imaginable itch). Pruritus NRS was analyzed based on weekly rolling averages of daily scores. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

Outcome Description
EASI is a tool used to measure the extent (area) and severity of atopic eczema based on assessments of the head/neck, trunk, upper limbs and lower limbs. For each region the area score is recorded as the percentage of skin affected by eczema. For each region, the severity score is calculated as the sum of the intensity scores (scored as none \[0\], mild \[1)\] moderate \[2\], or severe \[3\]) for Redness (erythema, inflammation), Thickness (induration, papulation, swelling - acute eczema), Scratching (excoriation), and Lichenification (lined skin, prurigo nodules - chronic eczema).

The total EASI score for each region is calculated by multiplying the severity score by the area score, with adjustment for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. The final EASI score is the sum of the 4 region scores and ranges from 0 to 72 where higher scores represent worse disease; a negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

The POEM is a 7-item, validated questionnaire used to assess disease symptoms in both children and adults. Participants respond to 7 questions, including dryness, itching, flaking, cracking, sleep loss, bleeding, and weeping, each scored on a 5-point scale based on frequency of occurrence during the previous week: 0 = no days, 1 = 1 to 2 days, 2 = 3 to 4 days, 3 = 5 to 6 days, and 4 = all days. Item scores are added to provide a total score ranging from 0 (clear) to 28 (very severe atopic eczema). A change in POEM score of 3.4 points is considered the minimal clinically important difference.

The DLQI is a 10-item validated questionnaire used to assess the impact of AD disease symptoms and treatment on quality of life (QoL). It consists of 10 questions evaluating impact of skin diseases on different aspects of a participant's QoL over the prior week, including symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work or school, personal relationships, and the side effects of treatment. Each item is scored on a 4-point scale (0 = not at all/not relevant; 1 = a little; 2 = a lot; and 3 = very much).

Item scores are added to provide a total score, ranging from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating greater impairment of QoL.

SCORAD is a clinical tool used to assess the extent and severity of eczema (SCORing Atopic Dermatitis). The extent is assessed using the rule of 9 to calculate the affected area (A) as a percentage of the whole body (0-100%). The intensity part of the SCORAD (B) consists of 6 items: erythema, oedema/papulation, excoriations, lichenification, oozing/crusts and dryness, each graded on a scale from 0 (none) to 3 (severe), for a total score of 0 to 18. Subjective items (C) include daily pruritus and sleeplessness, each scored on a visual analogue scale (VAS) from 0 to 10 (total score 0-20). SCORAD is calculated as A/5 + 7B/2 + C, and ranges from 0 to 103 (worst). A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.
