Abstract
Background. Dupilumab has shown good effectiveness and safety in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. However, there is a lack of clinical data that focuses solely on the treatment response for the endpoint to observe the short-term goal (12 weeks) in the treatment-to-target (T2T) concept. Study on predictors of early treatment response is also limited. Objective. To evaluate the early effectiveness and safety of dupilumab in the treatment of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis and to identify possible predictors of response. Methods. Using a retrospective study method, patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis who received dupilumab for ≥12 weeks at the Southwest Hospital between September 2019 and April 2022 were included. Results. Totally 16.25% of patients achieved EASI75 after 4 weeks and 53.75% achieved EASI75 after 12 weeks. SCORAD, EASI, and NRS were 50.17 ± 17.35, 13.51 ± 12.33 and 7.10 ± 1.82 in turn at baseline, and decreased to 29.94 ± 15.01, 6.97 ± 7.92, 3.64 ± 1.39 and 14.96 ± 10.31, 3.05 ± 4.16, 2.19 ± 1.09 after 4 and 12 weeks, respectively, with statistically significant differences (p < 0.01). After 12 weeks, the changes in peripheral blood eosinophil count (decreased from (0.60 ± 0.43) ∗ 10^9/L to (0.30 ± 0.21) ∗ 10^9/L), total IgE level (decreased from 547.00 (179.00, 2167.50) IU/ml to 216.50 (106.00, 825.00) IU/ml), and LDH (decreased from (166.11 ± 171.59) IU/L to (67.54 ± 70.68) IU/L) from baseline were significant (p < 0.01). Elevated peripheral blood eosinophil counts might be associated with an inadequate response to dupilumab (SCORAD12w: p = 0.007; EASI12w: p = 0.003; NRS12w: p = 0.030). The most common adverse events were reactions at the injection site (6/80) and conjunctivitis (4/80). Conclusion. Dupilumab showed good early effectiveness and safety in real-world practice in Chinese patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis.
期刊介绍:
Dermatologic Therapy has been created to fill an important void in the dermatologic literature: the lack of a readily available source of up-to-date information on the treatment of specific cutaneous diseases and the practical application of specific treatment modalities. Each issue of the journal consists of a series of scholarly review articles written by leaders in dermatology in which they describe, in very specific terms, how they treat particular cutaneous diseases and how they use specific therapeutic agents. The information contained in each issue is so practical and detailed that the reader should be able to directly apply various treatment approaches to daily clinical situations. Because of the specific and practical nature of this publication, Dermatologic Therapy not only serves as a readily available resource for the day-to-day treatment of patients, but also as an evolving therapeutic textbook for the treatment of dermatologic diseases.
