Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to understand the effect that T helper 2 (Th2) blockade has on well-described pathophysiological features of Atopic Dermatitis (AD), for example: barrier, epidermal activation, dysbiosis and epidermal lipids.

Primary Outcome

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) abundance was measured by microbial DNA (femA qPCR) on lesional skin at Day 28, measurement is expressed in relative Colony Forming Units (rCFU)/cm\^2). The abundance of S. aureus is summarized as the geometric mean ratio (and corresponding 95% confidence interval) between the dupilumab and placebo arms. The geometric mean ratio is reported from an ANCOVA model with fixed effects for clinical site, disease severity at Day 0 (as measured by EASI \>21.1 \[severe\
