Abstract
Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. 611, a humanized monoclonal antibody, selectively targets the interleukin (IL)-4 receptor alpha, thereby inhibiting the signaling of both interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13. This phase 2 study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 611 in Chinese adults with moderate-to-severe AD.
Methods: This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 study was conducted between October 2022 and September 2023. Eligible patients with moderate-to-severe AD were randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive 611 at a dose of either 300 mg (loading dose of 600 mg) every 2 weeks (Group A) or 300 mg (loading dose of 600 mg) every 4 weeks (Group B), or placebo every 2 weeks for 16 weeks, followed by an 8-week follow-up period. The primary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of patients achieving at least a 75% reduction in the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI-75) score at week 16. The safety and pharmacodynamics were also assessed.
Results: After 16 weeks of treatment, 60.0% of patients in Group A and 48.8% in Group B achieved EASI-75, both significantly higher than the placebo group (15.6%, p < 0.01). Additionally, 611 at both doses significantly improved the Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) scores, peak pruritus numerical rating scale (NRS), and other efficacy endpoints. Patients receiving 611 demonstrated significant reductions in serum thymus activation-regulated chemokine (TARC) and total serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) was similar across all dosage groups. The most common 611-related TEAE is upper respiratory tract infections. No new safety concerns were identified.
Conclusion: 611 demonstrated a high efficacy and a favorable safety profile 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.
