Secondary	Percentage of Participants With Anti-drug Antibodies and Neutralizing Antibodies.	Immunogenicity assessment will be based on Anti-drug Antibodies (ADAs) response and development of Neutralizing Antibodies (NABs). Percentage is calculated based on the number of evaluable participants and was calculated by number of participants with treatment-emergent positive anti-drug antibodies / number of evaluable participants * 100%.	Baseline to Week 24 (Day 197).
Secondary	Number of Participants With Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) Score of "0" or "1" and Improvement From Baseline of Greater Than or Equal to (>=) 2 Points at Week 8(Day 85), Week 12(Day 113), Week 16(Day 141).	The IGA is an assessment instrument used to rate the severity of AD globally based on a 5-point scale ranging from (0 = clear; 1 = almost clear; 2 = mild; 3 = moderate; 4 = severe), higher score indicated higher severity.	Baseline , Week 8(Day 85), Week 12(Day 113), Week 16(Day 141).
Secondary	Number of Participants With Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) - 75 Response (>= 75% Improvement in Score From Baseline) at Week 8(Day 85), Week 12(Day 113), Week 16(Day 141).	The EASI score was used to measure the severity and extent of atopic dermatitis (AD) and measures erythema, infiltration, excoriation and lichenification on 4 anatomic regions of the body: head, trunk, upper and lower extremities. The total EASI score range from 0 (minimum) to 72 (maximum) points, with the higher scores reflecting the worse severity of AD.	Baseline , Week 8(Day 85), Week 12(Day 113), Week 16(Day 141).
Secondary	Percentage Change in EASI Score	The EASI score was used to measure the severity and extent of atopic dermatitis (AD) and measures erythema, infiltration, excoriation and lichenification on 4 anatomic regions of the body: head, trunk, upper and lower extremities. The total EASI score range from 0 (minimum) to 72 (maximum) points, with the higher scores reflecting the worse severity of AD.	Baseline , Week 8(Day 85), Week 12(Day 113), Week 16(Day 141).
Secondary	Percentage Change in Percent Body Surface Area (BSA) of AD Involvement.	BSA affected by AD was assessed for each section of the body (the possible highest score for each region was: head and neck [9%], anterior trunk [18%], back [18%], upper limbs [18%], lower limbs [36%], and genitals [1%]) and reported as a percentage of all major body sections combined. The reported percentage of BSA was combined percentage of all major body sections.	Baseline , Week 8(Day 85), Week 12(Day 113), Week 16(Day 141).
Secondary	Number of Participants Who Achieved >=4 Points With Improvement From Baseline in Weekly Average of Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Score at Week 8(Day 85), Week 12(Day 113), Week 16(Day 141).	Pruritus NRS was an assessment tool that was used to report the intensity of a participant's pruritus (itch), during a 24-hour recall period. Participants were asked the following question: how would a participant rate his itch at the worst moment during the previous 24 hours (for maximum itch intensity on a scale of 0 - 10 [0 = no itch; 10 = worst itch imaginable]), higher scores indicated greater severity.	Baseline , Week 8(Day 85), Week 12(Day 113), Week 16(Day 141).
