EfficacyIn a post-hoc analysis, median time to improvement* in pruritus was seen in 4 days with EUCRISA3*Baseline was the mean of at least 2 SPS assessments on Day 1. SPS daily values were the mean of at least 2 SPS assessments on that day.3Pooled data from the pivotal trials of patients aged 2 and up: an exploratory post hoc analysis with 28 days of treatment11

INDIVIDUAL
- Improvement was defined as a daily mean Severity of Pruritus Scale (SPS) score of ≤1 with at least a 1-point improvement from baseline3,9
- At baseline, pruritus was moderate in 46% (n=352) and 44% (n=162) of EUCRISA and Emollient-rich Vehicle patients, respectively3,†
Comparisons between EUCRISA and Emollient-rich Vehicle cannot be made as the study was not designed for this purpose.

General Limitations
- Subjects with fewer than 2 SPS assessments on Day 1 and fewer than 2 SPS assessments on Day 2 (30%) were considered as missing data and were excluded from this analysis
- The protocol did not specify who should complete the SPS assessment. This resulted in the combination of parent/guardian and patient-reported data
Baseline was the mean of at least 2 SPS assessments on Day 1. SPS daily values were the mean of at least 2 SPS assessments on that day.9Proportion of patients and their reported SPS scores at Baseline: Mild: EUCRISA 24% (n=183) and Emollient-rich Vehicle 28% (n=104). Severe: EUCRISA 28% (n=214) and Emollient-rich Vehicle 26% (n=98).POOLED

Post hoc analysis study description3,9Pivotal Trial
- Prespecified endpoints: Time to improvement in pruritus and proportion of patients with improvement in pruritus
- Endpoints were assessed using the Severity of Pruritus Scale (SPS) which, at that time, had yet to be validated
- Patients or parents/guardians were asked to record their or their child's itching and/or scratching in the SPS twice a day. SPS data were analyzed using a single SPS observation from each day
- Each observation within a day was analyzed as a discrete observation and used to determine the first improvement after dosing
Post Hoc
- SPS was validated through qualitative study and quantitative analysis to establish its validity and reliability as a measure of pruritus in atopic dermatitis
- Validation analysis determined that an average of ≤2 SPS observations is necessary to provide a reliable measure of pruritus severity
- A post hoc analysis was conducted using the validated measure
- Baseline was the mean of ≤2 SPS assessments on Day 1
Severity of pruritus scale3,9The SPS is a patient- or parent/guardian-reported outcome using a 4-point scale measuring pruritus over the past 24 hours.
0. None: No itching
1. Mild: Occasional, slight itching/scratching
2. Moderate: Constant or intermittent itching/scratching which is not disturbing sleep
3. Severe: Bothersome itching/scratching which is disturbing sleep
Please note: Sleep disturbance was not measured in this assessment and was only used as a descriptive anchor in the verbal rating scale to indicate higher levels of itch severity.Pooled data results from an exploratory post hoc analysis*Proportion of patients with improvement† in pruritus3POOLED

General Limitations
- Subjects with fewer than 2 SPS assessments on Day 1 and had no post-baseline data (26%) were considered missing data and were excluded from the analysis set
- The protocol did not specify who should complete the SPS assessment. This resulted in the combination of parent/guardian and patient-reported data
Baseline was the mean of at least 2 SPS assessments on Day 1. SPS daily values were the mean of at least 2 SPS assessments on that day.Improvement was defined as a weekly mean SPS score of ≤1 with at least a 1-point improvement from baseline.9Comparisons between EUCRISA and Emollient-rich Vehicle cannot be made as the study was not designed for this purpose.9This study reflects information from the pivotal trial where patients enrolled were 2 years and older.
