Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Subjects with treatment success according to Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) at visit 6 (End of Treatment) [56 days]
Treatment success according to the PGA is defined as: Subjects having mild disease at baseline must achieve clear. Subjects having moderate or severe disease at baseline must achieve clear or almost clear
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Hand Eczema Severity Index (HECSI) at visit 6 [56 days]
- Subjects with treatment success according to the Patient's Global Assessment of disease severity (PaGA) at visit 6 (End of Treatment) [56 days]
Treatment success according to the PaGA is defined as: Subjects having very mild or mild disease at baseline must achieve clear. Subjects having moderate or severe disease at baseline must achieve clear or very mild
