Abstract
Background: The efficacy and safety of dupilumab in atopic dermatitis (AD) have been defined in clinical trials but limited real-world evidence on long-term treatment outcomes is currently available to inform clinical decisions.
Objectives: To describe the long-term effectiveness and safety of dupilumab up to 48 months in patients with moderate-to-severe AD.
Methods: A multicentre, retrospective, dynamic cohort study was conducted to assess long-term effectiveness and safety of dupilumab in patients with moderate-to-severe AD in a real-world setting. Predictors of minimal disease activity (MDA) optimal treatment target criteria [defined as the simultaneous achievement of a 90% reduction in Eczema Area and Severity Index score, itch-numeric rating scale (NRS) score ≤ 1, sleep-NRS score ≤ 1 and Dermatology Life Quality Index ≤ 1] were investigated.
Results: In total, 2576 patients were enrolled from June 2018 to July 2022. MDA optimal treatment target criteria were achieved by 506/2309 (21.9%), 769/1959 (39.3%), 628/1247 (50.4%), 330/596 (55.4%) and 58/106 (54.7%) of those that reached 4, 12, 24, 36 and 48 months of follow-up, respectively. Logistic regression revealed a negative effect on MDA achievement for conjunctivitis and food allergy at all timepoints. Adverse events (AEs) were mild and were observed in 373/2364 (15.8%), 166/2066 (8.0%), 83/1291 (6.4%), 27/601 (4.5%) and 5/110 (4.5%) of those that reached 4, 12, 24, 36 and 48 months of follow-up. Conjunctivitis was the most frequently reported AE during the available follow-up. AEs led to treatment discontinuation in < 1% of patients during the evaluated time periods.
Conclusions: The high long-term effectiveness and safety of dupilumab were confirmed in this dynamic cohort of patients with moderate-to-severe AD, regardless of clinical phenotype and course (persisting or relapsing) at baseline. Further research will be needed to investigate the effect of T helper cell 2 comorbidities and disease duration on the response to dupilumab and other newer therapeutics for AD.
