Abstract
Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory disease requiring long-term management. Biologic therapies have emerged as systemic treatment options for AD, and real-world evidence (RWE) of their use is needed to inform optimal treatment decisions.
Methods: A retrospective, single-center case series was conducted including 37 adults with AD who were systemic-naive or inadequately responded to previous AD treatment and had a visit around 1 year after tralokinumab initiation prior to May 2024. Patient demographics, disease characteristics, and treatment history were collected. Outcomes of tralokinumab treatment, including investigator's global assessment (IGA) score, body surface area (BSA), and adverse events (AEs), were extracted from a 2-month visit (defined as 1-3 months) and a 1-year visit (defined as ≥ 10 months) after tralokinumab initiation.
Results: Thirty-seven patients (median age, 58.0 years; 49% male) on tralokinumab for approximately 1 year or longer were included. At baseline, most patients (97% [33/34]) had moderate-to-severe AD (IGA 3 or 4), and median (interquartile range [IQR]) BSA was 10.0% (5.0%; 18.8%); 19% (7/37) of patients were biologic-experienced, having been previously on dupilumab. Most patients (95% [35/37]) transitioned to tralokinumab due to inadequate response to previous treatment. The proportion of patients with IGA score 0 or 1 increased from 0% (0/34) at baseline to 85% (22/26) after 2 months and 93% (28/30) at 1 year of tralokinumab treatment. Median (IQR) BSA improved to 0.5% (0.0%; 1.0%) and 0.0% (0.0%; 1.0%) at the 2-month and 1-year visits, respectively. Similar improvements were observed regardless of Fitzpatrick skin type or previous treatment history. No AEs were reported through 1 year of follow-up.
Conclusions: This large case series provides RWE building on tralokinumab clinical trial data and highlights the potential rapid and long-term response in patients with AD irrespective of their Fitzpatrick skin type or treatment history, including patients previously treated with dupilumab.
期刊介绍:
Dermatology and Therapy is an international, open access, peer-reviewed, rapid publication journal (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance). The journal is dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of dermatological therapies. Studies relating to diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health and epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
Areas of focus include, but are not limited to all clinical aspects of dermatology, such as skin pharmacology; skin development and aging; prevention, diagnosis, and management of skin disorders and melanomas; research into dermal structures and pathology; and all areas of aesthetic dermatology, including skin maintenance, dermatological surgery, and lasers.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of pharmaceutical and healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, case reports/case series, trial protocols, and short communications. Dermatology and Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an International and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of quality research, which may be considered of insufficient interest by other journals. The journal appeals to a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world.
