Abstract

Introduction: Phase 3 clinical trials have demonstrated robust efficacy and favorable safety of upadacitinib for the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD). However, real-world data are still sparse. The objectives of this study were to assess the effectiveness and safety of real-world treatment with upadacitinib in patients with moderate-to-severe AD.

Methods: UP-TAINED is an ongoing German prospective, multicenter, observational study in adolescents and adults with moderate-to-severe AD treated with upadacitinib 15 or 30 mg once daily, according to local labeling. Effectiveness (primary endpoint; measured with the Atopic Dermatitis Control Tool [ADCT]) and safety are assessed over 2 years. Reported here are 1-year results from an interim analysis.

Results: Data on 351 patients were included in the effectiveness analysis. At 12 weeks, 71.0% of patients had achieved disease control (ADCT total score < 7); at 1 year, this rate was 70.9%. An Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) ≤ 3 was achieved by 60.6% of patients after 4 weeks and 68.1% after 1 year of upadacitinib treatment. Of 186 patients with moderate-to-severe facial eczema at baseline and 142 patients with moderate-to-severe hand eczema at baseline, 60.8% (101/166) and 63.8% (83/101) achieved clear or almost clear skin in those respective body regions after 4 weeks of upadacitinib treatment. Of the 380 patients included in the safety analysis, 163 patients reported 426 adverse events (AEs), most classified as mild (59.7%) or moderate (34.6%). The most common AEs were (worsening of) AD, acne, and COVID-19. No major cardiovascular AEs, venous thromboembolism, or malignancies were reported.

Conclusions: Upadacitinib was well tolerated, and the majority of patients with moderate-to- severe AD receiving upadacitinib in real-world clinical practice achieved stringent treatment goals with early and up to 1-year disease control attained, particularly in difficult-to-treat areas such as hand and face.

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.
