DFI questions were scored on a four-point Likert scale ranging from 0 to 3, so that the total DFI score ranges from 0 to 30. Timeframe of reference was the past week. A higher DFI score indicated greater impairment in family Quality of life (QOL) as affected by atopic dermatitis. A negative change from baseline indicated improvement.
Part B: Change From Baseline in Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) at Week 16
CDLQI is a validated 10 question tool to measure impact of skin disease on QOL in children by assessing how much the skin problem has affected the subjects over past week. Nine questions were scored as follows: Very much = 3, Quite a lot = 2, Only a little = 1, Not at all or unanswered = 0. Question 7 has an added possible response, which was scored as 3. CDLQI equals the sum of the score of each question (max. = 30, min. = 0). Higher the score, the greater the impact on QOL. A negative change from baseline indicated improvement.
Part B: Change From Baseline in Infants' Dermatology Quality of Life Index (IDQOL) at Week 16
Infants' Dermatitis Quality of Life Index (IDQOL) is used to evaluate quality of life for subjects of age less than 4 years. IDQOL questionnaires were designed for infants (below the age of 4 years) with atopic dermatitis. The IDQOL was calculated by summing the score of each question resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0. The higher the score in each questionnaire, the more quality of life is impaired. A negative change from baseline indicated improvement.
Part B: Percentage of Topical Corticosteroid (TCS) Medication-free Days From Baseline to Week 16
Percentage of TCS medication-free days was calculated as the number of days that a subject used neither TCS/TCI nor system rescue therapy divided by the study days.

Part B: Percentage of Participants With Improvement (Reduction From Baseline) of Weekly Average of Daily Worst Scratch/Itch/NRS ≥4 Points at Week 16
Description
Pruritus NRS is an assessment tool used to report intensity of subject's pruritus (itch), both average & maximum intensity, during 24-hr recall period. Subjects were asked two questions: 1) For average itch intensity: how would you rate your itch overall (on average) during the previous 24 hrs; & 2) For maximum itch intensity: How would you rate your itch at the worst moment during the previous 24 hrs? Both questions were rated on a scale: 0-10 with 0=no itch & 10=worst itch imaginable.

Description
The EASI score is 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 indicating the worse severity of AD. EASI-50 responders were the participants who achieved ≥50% overall improvement in EASI score from baseline at Week 16.

BSA affected by AD was assessed for each section of the body (the possible highest score for each region was: head and neck [9%], anterior trunk [18%], back [18%], upper limbs [18%], lower limbs [36%], and genitals [1%]). It was reported as a percentage of all major body sections combined. A negative change from baseline indicated improvement.
Time Frame
Week 16
Title
Part B: Change From Baseline in Patient Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM) at Week 16
Description
The POEM is a 7-item questionnaire that assesses disease symptoms (dryness, itching, flaking, cracking, sleep loss, bleeding and weeping) with a scoring system of 0 (absent disease) to 28 (severe disease) (high score indicative of poor quality of life [QOL]). A negative change from baseline indicated improvement.
Time Frame
Week 16
Title
Part B: Percent Change From Baseline in SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) at Week 16
Description
The SCORAD index is a clinical tool for assessing the severity of atopic dermatitis (AD). Extent and intensity of eczema as well as subjective signs (insomnia, etc.) are assessed and scored. Total score ranges from 0 (absent disease) to 103 (severe disease). A negative change from baseline indicated improvement.
Time Frame
Week 16
Title
Part B: Change From Baseline in Participant's Sleep Quality NRS at Week 16
Description
A sleep diary is completed by the parent/caregiver, included 2 questions assessing the caregiver's sleep, and 6 questions assessing the child's sleep based on caregiver observation. Sleep diary items, either alone or in combination serve as subjective measures of sleep quality, difficulty falling asleep, nighttime awakenings, and sleep duration. Sleep quality is measured using an 11-point NRS (0 to 10) in which 0 indicates worst possible sleep while 10 indicates best possible sleep.
Time Frame
Week 16
Title
Part B: Change From Baseline in Participant's Skin Pain NRS at Week 16
Description
Skin pain was assessed by the parent/caregiver and measured using a 11-point scale (0 to 10) in which 0 indicated no pain while 10 indicated worst pain possible. A negative change from baseline indicated improvement.
Time Frame
Week 16
Title
Part B: Change From Baseline in Dermatitis Family Index (DFI) at Week 16
Description
DFI is a 10-item questionnaire with items inquiring about housework, food preparation, sleep, family leisure activity, shopping, expenditure, tiredness, emotional distress, relationships, and impact of helping with treatment on the primary caregiver's life. DFI questions were scored on a four-point Likert scale ranging from 0 to 3, so that the total DFI score ranges from 0 to 30. Timeframe of reference was the past week. A higher DFI score indicated greater impairment in family Quality of life (QOL) as affected by atopic dermatitis. A negative change from baseline indicated improvement.
Time Frame
Week 16
Title
Part B: Change From Baseline in Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) at Week 16
Description
CDLQI is a validated 10 question tool to measure impact of skin disease on QOL in children by assessing how much the skin problem has affected the subjects over past week. Nine questions were scored as follows: Very much = 3, Quite a lot = 2, Only a little = 1, Not at all or unanswered = 0. Question 7 has an added possible response, which was scored as 3. CDLQI equals the sum of the score of each question (max. = 30, min. = 0). Higher the score, the greater the impact on QOL. A negative change from baseline indicated improvement.
Time Frame
Week 16
Title
Part B: Change From Baseline in Infants' Dermatology Quality of Life Index (IDQOL) at Week 16
Description
Infants' Dermatitis Quality of Life Index (IDQOL) is used to evaluate quality of life for subjects of age less than 4 years. IDQOL questionnaires were designed for infants (below the age of 4 years) with atopic dermatitis. The IDQOL was calculated by summing the score of each question resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0. The higher the score in each questionnaire, the more quality of life is impaired. A negative change from baseline indicated improvement.
Time Frame
Week 16
