Each item is scored on a 4-point Likert scale (0 = 'not at all'; 1 = 'only a little'; 2 = 'quite a lot'; 3 = 'very much'). Item 7 (on school time) has one additional response category 'prevented school', which is

Sponsor's own description

Primary objective: To evaluate the efficacy of subcutaneous (SC) administration of tralokinumab compared with placebo in treating adolescent subjects (age 12 to \<18 years) with moderate-to-severe AD. Secondary objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of tralokinumab on severity and extent of AD, itch, and health-related quality of life compared with placebo. To investigate the safety, immunogenicity, and tolerability of SC administration of tralokinumab compared with placebo when used to treat adolescent subjects (age 12 to \<18 years) with moderate-to-severe AD.
