The study is comprised of a 35-day screening period, a 24-week double-blinded treatment period, and a follow-up visit 12 weeks after the last dose. Participants who complete Week 24 have the option to enroll into an open-label study (Study M19-850; NCT04195698) of upadacitinib 30 mg once daily and receive treatment with upadacitinib for an additional 52 weeks.
Participants who meet eligibility criteria will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either upadacitinib or dupilumab. Randomization will be stratified by Baseline disease severity (Validated Investigator Global Assessment scale for Atopic Dermatitis \[vIGA-AD\] score of moderate \[3\] versus severe \[4\]) and age (\<40, ≥ 40 to \< 65, ≥ 65 years).
