According to the results reported on ClinicalTrials.gov, this trial (NCT03796676) enrolled 285 adults with atopic dermatitis (eczema) across three groups: 96 received a placebo (inactive treatment), 95 received a 100 mg daily dose of PF-04965842 (abrocitinib), and 94 received a 200 mg daily dose. The trial was primarily measuring two things after 12 weeks: how many participants' skin was rated by a doctor as "clear" or "almost clear" on a standard severity scale, and how many participants saw their eczema area and severity score improve by at least 75% from where it started. The reported data shows that at the 12-week mark, 24.5% of placebo participants, 41.6% of the 100 mg group, and 46.2% of the 200 mg group met the doctor-rated "clear or almost clear" skin goal. For the 75% improvement in eczema area and severity, the figures reported were 41.5% (placebo), 68.5% (100 mg), and 72.0% (200 mg). The trial also measured itch severity using a 0–10 self-reported scale, looking at the proportion of participants whose worst itch score improved by at least 4 points. The reported data shows that by week 12, this was achieved by 29.8% of the placebo group, 52.6% of the 100 mg group, and 55.4% of the 200 mg group. A separate symptom diary score (rated 0–10, where higher means worse) showed average reductions from baseline of 2.0 points (placebo), 2.5 points (100 mg), and 2.7 points (200 mg) at week 12.
