A Phase 3 Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind Study to Evaluate Upadacitinib in Combination With Topical Corticosteroids in Adolescent and Adult Subjects With Moderate to Severe Atopic Dermatitis
Study Description
This study includes a 35-day screening period, a 16-week double-blind period, a blinded extension period up to Week 260, a blinded Long-term Extension (LTE) Period after Week 260 to Week 524, and a 30-day follow-up visit. Participants who meet eligibility criteria in the Main Study will be randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive upadacitinib 15 mg, upadacitinib 30 mg, or placebo once daily, in combination with topical corticosteroids.
