Abstract
Introduction
Atopic dermatitis (AD) significantly impairs quality of life and requires long-term management. This post hoc analysis aimed to evaluate the effect of stapokibart (an anti-IL-4Rα antibody) on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in adults with moderate-to-severe AD from a phase 3 trial (NCT05265923).
Methods
Eligible patients were randomized 1:1 to receive stapokibart 300 mg (loading dose 600 mg) (n = 251) or placebo (n = 249) every 2 weeks (Q2W) for 16 weeks. Subsequently, both groups received stapokibart 300 mg Q2W for 36 weeks and were followed-up for 8 weeks. Main PROs analyzed included percentage change from baseline in the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and the Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM) scores, response rates of weekly average of daily Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (PP-NRS) score ≤ 4 and ≤ 1, DLQI score ≤ 5, and POEM score ≤ 7 over 52-week treatment.
Results
A higher proportion of patients in the stapokibart group achieved weekly average of daily PP-NRS score ≤ 4 compared with the placebo-stapokibart group at week 16 (49.8% vs. 24.2%, p < 0.0001); the proportion at week 52 increased to 84.9% and 80.9%, respectively. Weekly average of daily PP-NRS score ≤ 1 was achieved in 35.2% and 32.1% of patients in stapokibart and placebo-stapokibart groups, respectively, at week 52. The stapokibart group had greater improvements in DLQI and POEM scores compared with the placebo-stapokibart group over weeks 4–16, and the improvements continued during maintenance period in both groups. The proportion of patients achieving DLQI score ≤ 5 was 46.2% versus 28.8% at week 16 (p < 0.0001) and 68.7% versus 73.6% at week 52 in the stapokibart versus placebo-stapokibart groups. POEM score ≤ 7 was achieved in 45.8% versus 22.5% of patients at week 16 (p < 0.0001) and 67.8% versus 62.7% at week 52.
Conclusion
Stapokibart significantly improved PROs in adults with moderate-to-severe AD through 52-week treatment.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Therapy is an international, peer reviewed, rapid-publication (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance) journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of therapeutics and interventions (including devices) across all therapeutic areas. Studies relating to diagnostics and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Advances in 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 all scientifically and ethically sound research.
