The pivotal 42-month BOLT (NCT01327053) study demonstrated sustained efficacy and manageable safety of sonidegib. Prior analyses at 18 months demonstrated clinical benefit persisting beyond sonidegib discontinuation. Pharmacokinetic modeling suggests HH pathway inhibition can be maintained following discontinuation. This analysis presents the efficacy of sonidegib 200 mg daily in patients with laBCC who discontinued treatment without disease progression (PD) at 42 months (end of study). \u0000Methods: BOLT was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 2 study. Objective response rates (ORRs; complete response + partial response), duration of response (DOR), and progression-free survival (PFS) were assessed by central and investigator review per modified response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (mRECIST). Adverse events (AEs) were also assessed. \u0000Results: Of the 66 patients with laBCC randomized to sonidegib 200 mg daily, 37 discontinued treatment without PD. The ORRs for these patients per central (57% [n = 20]) and investigator (73% [n = 27]) review were similar to the overall patient population (61% [n = 40] and 71% [n = 47] per central and investigator review, respectively). For patients who discontinued treatment, the median (95% confidence interval [CI]) DOR per central and investigator review was not estimable (NE) and 20.2 months (12.0, NE), respectively. The median PFS (95% CI) per central and investigator review was NE and 22.0 months (16.6, NE), respectively.

DEUC was superior to apremilast and placebo (PBO) in two phase 3 trials in patients with moderate to severe PsO. DEUC was efficacious on multiple measures of arthritis severity vs PBO in a phase 2 trial in patients with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) who had ≥1 PsO lesion (≥2 cm). In patients with body surface area (BSA) involvement ≥3% at baseline (80% of patients in this trial), a greater proportion achieved PASI 75 with DEUC (6 mg QD: 42.4%, P=0.01; 12 mg QD: 59.6%, P<0.0001) vs PBO (20.4%) at Week 16. This analysis evaluated the impact of DEUC on PsO in patients with PsA in the phase 2 trial (NCT03881059). \u0000Methods: The phase 2 double-blind PsA trial randomized patients (N=203) 1:1:1 to PBO, DEUC 6 mg once daily (QD), or DEUC 12 mg QD. After Week 16, patients could enroll in an optional, double-blind period until Week 52. DEUC-treated patients achieving minimal disease activity at Week 16 continued DEUC to Week 52. PsO disease activity measurements were assessed. \u0000Results: Baseline PsO characteristics were comparable across groups. At Week 16, significant decreases from baseline in mean PASI were observed with DEUC vs PBO in patients with baseline BSA ≥3%-<10% or PASI ≤12 even with very low baseline PASI scores, and also in those with baseline BSA ≥10% and PASI >12. Significant decreases in PASI from baseline were observed with DEUC vs PBO in patients with background csDMARD use (DEUC 6 mg, -4.0 and 12 mg, -4.9 vs PBO, -2.3; both P<0.05) and those without csDMARD use (-3.7 and -4.0 vs -2.5, respectively; both P<0.001). At Week 16, greater proportions of DEUC vs PBO patients achieved PASI ≤1 with baseline BSA ≥3% (DEUC 6 mg: 32.2%; DEUC 12 mg: 44.2%; PBO: 18.5%) and in patients with baseline BSA ≥10% and PASI >12 (23.1%; 28.6%; 0.0%). In patients with baseline BSA ≥3%, decreases in mean PASI at Week 16 were maintained through Week 52 in patients continuing DEUC 6 mg (absolute PASI score, Week 16: 2.39, Week 52: 1.22) and 12 mg (Week 16: 0.64, Week 52: 0.24). \u0000Conclusion: DEUC significantly improved PsO in patients with PsA, regardless of baseline PsO severity and background csDMARD use.

Spesolimab, an anti-interleukin-36 receptor monoclonal antibody, is an effective and approved treatment for GPP flares in adults. Effisayil 2 (NCT04399837) was a pivotal, randomized controlled trial that evaluated the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous spesolimab in preventing GPP flares. Here, we report the effect of high-dose spesolimab versus placebo on GPP lesions. \u0000Materials & Methods: Eligible patients with a history of GPP were randomized (1:1:1:1) to receive one of three subcutaneous spesolimab regimens or placebo for 48 weeks. High-dose spesolimab regimen was loading dose 600 mg, followed by maintenance dose 300 mg every 4 weeks. GPP Physician Global Assessment (GPPGA) subscores for erythema, pustules and scaling/crusting, and total score were compared between high-dose spesolimab and placebo groups at baseline and over the treatment period (scale: 0, clear to 4, severe). \u0000Results: Proportion of patients with baseline score of 0 for each GPPGA subscore and total score was generally similar between treatment groups, except erythema; (high-dose spesolimab [n=30] vs placebo [n=31]: erythema, 13.3% vs 22.6%; pustules, 66.7% vs 67.7%; scaling/crusting, 23.3% vs 22.6%; total score, 10.0% vs 12.9%). By Week 4, proportion of patients with scores of 0 increased with high-dose spesolimab versus placebo, (erythema, 33.3% vs 19.4%; pustules, 80.0% vs 41.9%; scaling/crusting, 30.0% vs 19.4%; total score, 26.7% vs 16.1%), and high-dose spesolimab group had fewer flares (10.0% vs 35.5%).

In addition, acne in older females is associated with greater negative impacts on quality of life. Clindamycin phosphate 1.2%/adapalene 0.15%/benzoyl peroxide (BPO) 3.1% (CAB) gel—the first fixed-dose, triple-combination topical product approved for acne—has demonstrated good efficacy, safety, and tolerability in participants with moderate-to-severe acne. The objective of this analysis is to assess the impact of age on efficacy, safety, and tolerability in females with moderate-to-severe acne. \u0000Methods: In one phase 2 (N=741; NCT03170388) and two identically designed phase 3 (N=183; N=180; NCT04214639; NCT04214652), double-blind, randomized, 12-week studies, participants aged ≥9 years with moderate-to-severe acne were randomized to receive once-daily CAB or vehicle gel; the phase 2 study included three additional dyad randomization arms (data not shown). Coprimary endpoints comprised inflammatory and noninflammatory lesion counts and treatment success (≥2-grade reduction from baseline in Evaluator’s Global Severity Score and score of ‘clear’ or ‘almost clear’). Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and cutaneous safety and tolerability were also assessed. Pooled data from these studies were analyzed post hoc from female participants categorized by age: 9-24 years (n=274) and ≥25 years (n=121). \u0000Results: At week 12 in both age groups, least-squares mean percent reductions from baseline were >70% in CAB-treated females versus vehicle gel for inflammatory (9-24 y: 77.8% vs 53.8%; ≥25 y: 77.8% vs 60.5%; P<0.01, both) and noninflammatory lesions (9-24 y: 72.8% vs 44.5%; ≥25 y: 73.7% vs 55.2%; P<0.001, both). Half of CAB-treated females in both age groups achieved treatment success at week 12 versus less than one-quarter with vehicle (9-24 y: 54.1% vs 15.6%; ≥25 y: 50.1% vs 22.5%; P<0.01, both). Most TEAEs were mild-to-moderate in severity, with rates similar to the overall pooled phase 2 and 3 populations. Although there were transient increases in the severity of cutaneous safety/tolerability assessments with CAB, scores generally returned to or near baseline levels for most assessments by week 12 in younger and older females.

Treatment efficacy in AD trials is evaluated using a range of clinical measures with the Investigator’s Global Assessment (IGA) as a key endpoint. Multiple and varied forms of the IGA scale are utilized across trials, including the Investigator’s Static Global Assessment and the Validated Investigator Global Assessment for ADTM. IGA scores usually range from 0 (clear) to 1 (almost clear), 2 (mild), 3 (moderate), and 4 (severe), but contain differences in detail assessed. Efficacy endpoints using IGA scales include achieving IGA=0 or 1 with ≥2-point improvement from baseline, or IGA=0. The Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) and achievement of ≥75% or ≥90% improvement from baseline (EASI75 and EASI90) are additional gold-standard measurements. \u0000Objective: To compare differences in efficacy outcomes in recent clinical trials of FDA-approved AD treatments for adults and children. \u0000Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted using MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, and hand search to identify AD trials published in English language between January 1, 2016 and August 16, 2023. Trials could include patients with any severity of AD who were treated with topical therapies (crisaborole, ruxolitinib), injectable systemics (dupilumab, tralokinumab), or oral systemics (upadacitinib, abrocitinib) according to approved indications. Efficacy outcomes of IGA=0 or 1 with ≥2-point improvement, IGA=0, EASI75, and EASI90 were categorized and summarized by AD severity, treatment type, and age groups in the trials. \u0000Results: Of 50 publications identified, 40 (80%) reported randomized controlled trials, 2 (4%) single-arm trials, and 8 (16%) open-label extension trials. By patient age groups, 11 publications were on children (<12 years), 8 on adolescents (12–17 years),15 on patients ≥12 years, and 17 on adults (≥18 years). Moderate to severe AD was the most frequently studied severity (38/50 publications), of which all trials were either as systemic monotherapy or systemic therapy combined with a topical. Topical monotherapy for mild to moderate AD only was reported in 8/50 publications. For topicals, achievement of IGA=0 (clear) was not reported for any age group, and no trials reported EASI90 for children <12 years. For injectable systemics, no outcome was reported for IGA=0 (clear) in children <12 years. For oral systemics, no outcomes were reported for children <12 years. \u0000Conclusions: This literature search of AD trial publications on FDA-approved treatments from 2016 onwards revealed several gaps in available outcomes data. There were no trials that assessed a topical therapy for moderate to severe AD, and complete disease clearance (IGA=0) was not demonstrated for any topicals. The findings reinforce the unmet need for a topical AD treatment that can provide high efficacy including complete clearance without restriction based on age or disease severity. \u0000Funding Supp","PeriodicalId":22013,"journal":{"name":"SKIN The Journal of Cutaneous Medicine","volume":"38 16","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140231622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This post hoc analysis evaluated patient factors associated with a higher probability of persistent clinical response with abrocitinib, without flare, during a 40-week maintenance period.Methods: Data were analyzed from patients who responded to abrocitinib 200 mg induction therapy (12 weeks) and were randomly assigned to receive abrocitinib (200 or 100 mg) or placebo in the maintenance period (40 weeks). A multivariable logistic regression model with fixed and random effects was fit to determine factors associated with not experiencing flare by week 52. Fixed effects (factors) considered were randomly allocated treatment, age (<18 vs ≥18 years), race, weight, prior use of systemic agents, AD duration, onset of response in induction (early vs late), Investigator’s Global Assessment score at randomization, body surface area (BSA, ≤50% vs >50%) at baseline, and percentage change in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) at randomization. Backward elimination and stepwise model selection procedures were applied with entry and exit criteria based on a P value threshold of 5%.Results:1233 patients received abrocitinib 200 mg in the induction period. By week 12, 798 (64.7%) achieved a response and were randomly assigned to receive maintenance treatment for 40 weeks. In total, 356 patients (44.6%) experienced a protocol-defined flare: 16.5% (200 mg), 39.6% (100 mg), and 77.5% (placebo). After model selection, the analysis identified continuation of treatment with abrocitinib 200 mg (odds ratio [OR], 19.51; 95% CI, 11.28-33.75) or reduced-dose abrocitinib 100 mg (5.27; 3.29-8.46) as the greatest predictors of not experiencing flare during maintenance. Not having previously used systemic agents (OR, 1.53; 95% CI, 1.09-2.14), lower baseline BSA (1.55; 1.10-2.17), and greater percentage reduction of EASI during induction (1.35; 1.15-1.59) were also associated with not experiencing flare.Conclusions: Multivariable analysis of JADE REGIMEN indicated that maintenance treatment with abrocitinib in patients with AD reduced the risk for flare in a dose-dependent manner. Other factors associated with maintaining response to treatment without flare included no previous exposure to systemic agents, lower extent of BSA involvement at baseline, and greater percent change in EASI during induction. These findings may assist clinicians with abrocitinib dosing decisions in the future.","PeriodicalId":22013,"journal":{"name":"SKIN The Journal of Cutaneous Medicine","volume":"45 28","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140231708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are ample consumer needs to reduce age spots and skin sagging with an increasing desire for effective topical solutions that can provide meaningful benefits in these areas. A new microdipeptide (acetyl dipeptide) technology was developed that demonstrated the potential to reduce skin inflammation and stimulate the skin’s supporting matrix. This clinical study was designed to test the effectiveness of a facial cream with a unique blend of microdipeptide technology along with brightening and firming ingredients to reduce the key signs of facial aging with twice daily use. The 16-week study included 43 healthy female subjects, ages 40-70 with diverse skin tones, and having mild to moderate jawline sagging with fine lines and/or hyperpigmentation by expert visual grading (3 to 6 on a 0 to 9 scale). Visual grading exhibited statistically significant reduction in all targeted skin aging signs starting at week 8, and continuing improvement to week 16, including jawline sagging (19%), laxity (19%), lift/ firmness (15%), as well as improved evenness of skin tone (16%), hyperpigmentation (14%) and overall photodamage (23%) (mean percent change, p< 0.05). Consumer perception questionnaires also revealed improvement after 16 weeks of use with tighter/tauter jawlines (88%), increased firmness (93%), skin elasticity (93%), refined facial contour (88%), less sagging (95%), and more lifted (91%) and volumized appearance (98%). Furthermore, subjects also indicated brighter skin (95%), increased radiance (93%), less discoloration (86%), fading dark spots (77%), reduced fine lines (93%) and wrinkles (95%), skin looks younger (95%), and overall less noticeable aging signs (95%). Clinical photography supported both the clinical grading and consumer perception of benefits.  In addition, these clinical outcomes are further supported by in vitro and ex vivo investigations showing the microdipeptide activity on inhibiting the expression of inflammatory cytokines and inducing multiple matrix building biomarkers, beyond elastin, pro-collagen and hyaluronic acid to include decorin and fibronectin. Gene expression profiling showed changes associated with skin barrier and extracellular matrix organizations, therefore mimicking a younger-looking skin. These results demonstrated that this peptide facial cream was well-tolerated and effective in improving jawline sagging, facial skin firmness, skin brightening, and reducing the overall signs of aging.","PeriodicalId":22013,"journal":{"name":"SKIN The Journal of Cutaneous Medicine","volume":"81 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140232314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
