OBJECTIVE: TO EVALUATE THE EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF RINVOQ MONOTHERAPY FOR THE TREATMENT OF ADOLESCENT (12 years and older) AND ADULT SUBJECTS WITH MODERATE TO SEVERE AD WHO ARE CANDIDATES FOR SYSTEMIC THERAPY2

These studies were only vs placebo and were not designed to compare the RINVOQ 15 mg and 30 mg doses against each other

Adpated from Guttman-Yassky, et al.2

*TCS were permitted during the blinded extension period and were not counted as rescue therapy. 
30-day follow up.

AD, atopic dermatitis; BID, twice daily; BL, baseline; EASI, Eczema Area and Severity Index; EASI 75, ≥75% reduction in EASI; ITT, intention-to-treat; NRI-C, nonresponder imputation incorporating Multiple Imputation to handle missing data due to COVID-19; OC, observed cases; OD, once daily; R, randomised; RIN, RINVOQ; TCS, topical corticosteroids; vIGA-AD, Validated Investigator's Global Assessment for atopic dermatitis.

aBody weight ≥40 kg at BL for subjects ≥12 and <18 yrs; bDiagnosis of AD according to the Hanifin and Rajka criteria (≥3 of 4 major features and ≥3 of 23 minor features); cor for patients for whom topical treatments were otherwise medically inadvisable; dexception of topical emollients; elaser therapy, tanning booth, or extended sun exposure that could affect disease severity or interfere with disease assessments; fOral or parenteral; gwithin 4  weeks or five half-lives of the drug (whichever is longer) or is currently enrolled in another clinical study.

aNo patients were discontinued for COVID-19 infection or logistical restrictions. bIncludes protocol-mandated discontinuation because of 25% worsening of EASI and other reasons.
