Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Proportion of participants achieving Investigator's Global Assessment-Chronic Hand Eczema Treatment Success (IGA-CHE-TS)	The Investigator's Global Assessment for chronic hand eczema (IGA-CHE) is an instrument used in clinical trials to rate the severity of the participant's global chronic hand eczema (CHE) and is based on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (clear) to 4 (severe). IGA-CHE treatment success (IGA-CHE TS) is defined as an IGA-CHE score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear) with a =2-step improvement from baseline.	Week 16
Secondary	Proportion of participants with a = 4-point improvement in chronic hand eczema (CHE) related Itch NRS score	The Itch NRS is a validated, self-reported, instrument for measurement of itch intensity and subject will rate the intensity of their itch on an 11-point scale ranging from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst itch imaginable) on a daily basis.	Week 16
Secondary	Proportion of participants with a = 2-point improvement in CHE-related Pain NRS score	The Pain NRS is a validated, self-reported, instrument for measurement of itch intensity and subject will rate the intensity of their pain on an 11-point scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable).	Week 16
Secondary	Change from baseline in the modified Total Lesion Symptom Score (mTLSS)	The mTLSS is a validated tool for assessing hand eczema. The scale quantifies the 7 features (erythema, scaling, hyperkeratosis/lichenification, vesiculation, oedema, fissures, and pruritus/pain) of HE (0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, and 3 = severe).	Up to Week 32
Secondary	Proportion of participants achieving an IGA-CHE-TS from baseline	The Investigator's Global Assessment for chronic hand eczema (IGA-CHE) is an instrument used in clinical trials to rate the severity of the participant's global chronic hand eczema (CHE) and is based on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (clear) to 4 (severe). IGA-CHE treatment success (IGA-CHE TS) is defined as an IGA-CHE score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear) with a =2-step improvement from baseline.	Up to Week 32
Secondary	Change from baseline in CHE-related Itch Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) score (weekly average)	The Itch NRS is a validated, self-reported, instrument for measurement of itch intensity and subject will rate the intensity of their itch on an 11-point scale ranging from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst itch imaginable).

Secondary	Percentage change in Hand Eczema Severity Index (HECSI)	The Hand Eczema Severity Index (HECSI) is an instrument used in clinical trials to rate the severity of 6 clinical signs (erythema, infiltration/papulation, vesicles, fissures, scaling, and oedema) and the extent of the lesions in each of the 5 hand regions (fingertips, fingers [except fingertips], palm of hands, back of hands, and wrists) by use of standard scales.	Week 16
Secondary	Proportion of Participants with HECSI-75	HECSI is an instrument used in clinical trials to rate the severity of 6 clinical signs (erythema, infiltration/papulation, vesicles, fissures, scaling, and oedema) and the extent of the lesions in each of the 5 hand regions (fingertips, fingers [except fingertips], palm of hands, back of hands, and wrists) by use of standard scales.

Weeks 2, 8, 16, and 32
Secondary	Mean Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) score	The Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC)is based on a 7-point scale and the participant will rate each question from the start of treatment as 1-very much improved, 2-much improved, 3-minimally improved, 4-no change, 5-minimally worse, 6-much worse, and 7-very much worse.
