Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Difference Between Current Study Baseline and Week 36 in Percent Change in EASI From Parent Study Baseline (NCT02277743 and NCT02277769)
The EASI score was used to measure the severity and extent of AD and measured erythema, infiltration, excoriation and lichenification on 4 anatomic regions of the body: head, trunk, upper and lower extremities. The total EASI score ranges from 0 (minimum) to 72 (maximum) points, with the higher scores reflecting the worse severity of AD. Difference of percent change in EASI between current study baseline and week 36 in from parent study baseline (NCT02277743 and NCT02277769) was reported. Values after first rescue treatment used were set to missing before multiple imputation (MI).
Percentage of Participants With Eczema Area and Severity Index >= 75% [EASI-75] at Baseline of Current Study Maintaining EASI-75 at Week 36
The EASI score was used to measure the severity and extent of AD and measured erythema, infiltration, excoriation and lichenification on 4 anatomic regions of the body: head, trunk, upper and lower extremities. The total EASI score ranges from 0 (minimum) to 72 (maximum) points, with the higher scores reflecting the worse severity of AD. EASI-75 responders were the participants who achieved >=75% overall improvement in EASI score at Week 36. Values after first rescue treatment used were set to missing. Patients with missing value at week 36 were considered as a non-responder.
Secondary Outcome Measures

IGA is an assessment scale used to determine severity of AD and clinical response to treatment on a 5-point scale (0 = clear; 1 = almost clear; 2 = mild; 3 = moderate; 4 = severe) based on erythema and papulation/infiltration. Therapeutic response is an IGA score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear). Participants with IGA score of 0 or 1 at baseline and maintaining within 1 point of baseline were reported as responders. Values after first rescue treatment used were set to missing. Participants with missing value at a visit were considered as a non-responder.
Percentage of Participants Maintaining Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) Response at 0 or 1 Point at Week 36
IGA is an assessment scale used to determine severity of AD and clinical response to treatment on a 5-point scale (0 = clear; 1 = almost clear; 2 = mild; 3 = moderate; 4 = severe) based on erythema and papulation/infiltration. Therapeutic response is an IGA score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear). Participants with IGA score of 0 or 1 at week 36 were reported as responders. Values after first rescue treatment were set to missing and participants with missing IGA scores at Week 36 were considered as non-responders.

The total EASI score ranges from 0 (minimum) to 72 (maximum) points, with the higher scores reflecting the worse severity of AD. EASI-50 responders were the participants who achieved >= 50% overall improvement in EASI score from baseline to Week 36. Values after first rescue treatment were set to missing and participants with missing EASI-50 scores at Week 36 were considered as non-responders.
Absolute Change From Baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) at Week 36
The EASI score was used to measure the severity and extent of AD and measured erythema, infiltration, excoriation and lichenification on 4 anatomic regions of the body: head, trunk, upper and lower extremities. The total EASI score ranges from 0 (minimum) to 72 (maximum) points, with the higher scores reflecting the worse severity of AD.

Adequate birth control is defined as agreement to consistently practice an effective and accepted method of contraception, whenever engaging in heterosexual intercourse, throughout the duration of the study and for 120 days after last dose of study drug. These include hormonal contraceptives, intrauterine device, or double barrier contraception (e.g, condom + diaphragm), or a male partner with documented vasectomy. Additional requirements for acceptable contraception may apply in certain countries, based on local regulations. Investigators in these countries will be notified accordingly in a protocol clarification letter.
(*For females, menopause is defined as at least 12 consecutive months without menses; if in question, a follicle stimulating hormone level of >= 25 milli units per milliliter (mU/mL) must be documented. Hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or bilateral tubal ligation must be documented, as applicable; if documented, women with these conditions are not required to use additional contraception).
