According to the results reported on ClinicalTrials.gov, this trial looked at a cream called delgocitinib, tested at four different strengths (1, 3, 8, and 20 mg/g), compared against a "vehicle" cream containing no active ingredient. The trial enrolled 251 people in total across the five groups, and measured changes in their eczema (atopic dermatitis) symptoms over 8 weeks. The main thing being measured was a skin scoring system called the EASI, which runs from 0 to 72 — a higher number means more severe or widespread eczema. The reported data shows that after 8 weeks, the average EASI score fell by 5.0 points in the 1 mg/g group, 4.9 points in the 3 mg/g group, 5.8 points in the 8 mg/g group, and 7.6 points in the 20 mg/g group, compared to a fall of 1.9 points in the vehicle (no active ingredient) group. For a secondary measure — the number of participants whose skin was rated "clear" or "almost clear" with a meaningful improvement by a doctor — the reported figures were 9, 14, 15, and 24 participants across the four increasing dose groups respectively, versus 5 participants in the vehicle group. The reported data also shows that 20, 21, 28, and 33 participants in each dose group (compared to 10 in the vehicle group) achieved at least a 75% reduction in their EASI score by week 8. For the time taken to reach a "clear" or "almost clear" rating, the data was not reported for the 3 mg/g and vehicle groups; for the other groups, the reported median times were 64 days for the 1 mg/g group, 64 days for the 8 mg/g group, and 44 days for the 20 mg/g group.
