Abstract
Introduction: The efficacy and safety of lebrikizumab, a high-affinity monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin-13, were investigated in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) up to 52 weeks in phase 3 trials. This analysis evaluates safety and maintenance of response through 104 weeks of lebrikizumab treatment in patients with moderate-to-severe AD who achieved clinical response with lebrikizumab at week 16.
Methods: ADjoin is a 100-week phase 3 long-term extension study. Adult and adolescent patients with moderate-to-severe AD were enrolled into parent studies ADvocate1, ADvocate2, and ADhere. ADvocate1&2 week 16 lebrikizumab clinical responders (patients who achieved Investigator's Global Assessment [IGA] [0, 1] or Eczema Area and Severity Index [EASI] 75 without rescue) were re-randomized 2:2:1 to lebrikizumab 250 mg Q2W, Q4W, or placebo (lebrikizumab withdrawal). Patients who completed week 52 of ADvocate1&2 could enroll into ADjoin. ADhere week 16 lebrikizumab clinical responders could enroll into ADjoin and were randomized 2:1 to lebrikizumab 250 mg Q2W or Q4W. Analyses were performed on patients who received 104 weeks of lebrikizumab treatment in parent and extension studies combined. Efficacy analyses are reported as observed from week 16 for patients who were re-randomized to lebrikizumab Q2W or Q4W. Safety assessments included monitoring adverse events.
Results: IGA (0, 1) was maintained by 86.4% (Q2W) and 76.4% (Q4W) patients from ADvocate1&2 and 83.9% (Q2W) and 78.6% (Q4W) patients from ADhere at week 104. EASI 75 was maintained by 95.6% (Q2W) and 96.3% (Q4W) ADvocate1&2 patients and 95.1% (Q2W) and 96.0% (Q4W) ADhere patients at week 104. Pruritus NRS ≥ 4-point improvement was maintained by 100% (Q2W) and 89.7% (Q4W) ADvocate1&2 patients at week 104 and 81.8% (Q2W) and 90.0% (Q4W) ADhere patients at week 68. During ADjoin, adverse events were reported by 62.2% of patients from ADvocate1&2 and ADhere who received lebrikizumab Q2W or Q4W, with the majority being mild (31.5%) or moderate (27.0%) in severity, and 2.2% leading to discontinuation due to adverse event.
Conclusions: Skin and itch outcomes were maintained over 2 years of continuous lebrikizumab 250 mg treatment. The safety profile of lebrikizumab in ADjoin is consistent with previous lebrikizumab studies in patients with moderate-to-severe AD.
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.
