重要性:患者报告的结果(PRO)评估与临床参数一起有助于整体确定治疗益处。目的:评价比美珠单抗治疗中重度斑块型银屑病患者的PROs。设计,环境和参与者:BE RADIANT多中心,3b期随机临床试验和开放标签扩展(OLE)有48周的双盲期和96周的OLE(3年总治疗)。患者最初接受比美珠单抗或secukinumab治疗。在第1年(第48周/OLE进入期),比美单抗随机患者继续比美单抗治疗(持续比美单抗治疗患者),而secukinumab随机患者切换到比美单抗治疗(secukinumab/比美单抗治疗患者)。干预措施:持续比美单抗治疗的患者接受比美单抗,320 mg,每4周至第16周,然后每4周或每8周至1年进入OLE。Secukinumab/bimekizumab治疗的患者接受Secukinumab, 300毫克,每4周至1年,然后切换到比美珠单抗,320毫克,每4周或每8周。所有患者每8周接受一次比美珠单抗治疗,直至第64周。主要结局和测量方法:报告患者报告的瘙痒/皮肤疼痛/结屑(Psoriasis Symptoms and Impacts Measure [P-SIM]),同时报告银屑病面积和严重程度指数(PASI)和皮肤病生活质量指数(DLQI)评分的实现情况(1年无应答应答;1-3年修正无应答应答)。结果:共有373名接受比美单抗治疗的患者和370名接受secukinumab治疗的患者在基线时随机化;分别有336和318人进入OLE。在比美单抗随机组和塞肯单抗随机组患者中,127例(34.0%)和93例(25.1%)报告无瘙痒;无皮肤疼痛278例(74.5%),222例(60.0%);第4周未结垢者分别为172例(46.1%)和80例(21.6%);结论和相关性:在这项随机临床试验和OLE中,比美珠单抗快速和持久地改善了3年的症状/与健康相关的生活质量,表明临床疗效转化为生活质量的改善。secukinumab随机患者报告了改用比美珠单抗后的改善。试验注册:ClinicalTrials.gov标识符:NCT03536884。

Importance: Patient decision aids (PDAs) are tools that facilitate medical discourse between patients and clinicians, enabling patients to make informed choices among treatment options. While PDAs have been developed for other dermatologic conditions, to our knowledge, none exist for adults with atopic dermatitis (AD).
Objective: To develop a PDA that assists adult patients with moderate to severe AD in selecting systemic treatment options.
Design, setting, and participants: For this qualitative study, the PDA was developed per International Patient Decision Aid Standards Collaboration guidelines. The development process used a systematic approach following designated phases: scoping and design, prototype development, alpha testing, beta testing, and finalization. A steering group was used for all stages of development except for beta testing, which used participants outside of the steering group. The study was conducted from 2020 to 2025 at Oregon Health & Science University's Department of Dermatology in both in-person and virtual environments. The steering groups consisted of 10 adult patients with moderate to severe AD and 6 dermatology clinicians for prototype development, 8 patients and 5 clinicians for alpha testing, and 5 patients and 2 clinicians for finalization of the PDA (performed after beta testing, which included 8 new patients and 6 clinicians).
Main outcomes and measures: PDA content and quality assessments occurred through qualitative thematic analysis performed on open-ended feedback question responses from patients and clinicians.
Results: Among the 10 patients in the initial steering group, the mean (range) age was 38.7 (20-74) years, and 8 were female. Patients valued transparent and organized visual formatting, simplified language, and focused content themes, such as efficacy, dosing frequency, route of administration, relevant adverse effects, and relative costs. Dermatology clinicians prioritized laboratory monitoring, efficacy, and adverse effect data. Patients preferred simplicity, whereas clinicians preferred an emphasis on detail. The finalized International Patient Decision Aid Standards Collaboration-adherent PDA used a staged approach to balance these preferences.
Conclusions and relevance: This qualitative study supports prior findings that when formulating PDAs, authors should prioritize simplicity to enable patient comprehension in clinician-led discussions. This study found that a staged approach may help to deliver complex treatment information in a patient-centered manner, enhancing patient-clinician discussions, and facilitating shared decision-making in adults with AD.

重要性:患者进行的远镜检查可以改善皮肤科护理的可及性,但指导患者使用的远镜选择的证据有限。目的:比较低成本、环境光、非偏光的皮肤镜与高成本、照明、偏光的皮肤镜在早期黑色素瘤治疗后患者进行远镜检查的效果。设计、环境和参与者:该试验中的随机研究嵌入MEL-SELF试验中,招募了2021年12月至2024年6月期间在澳大利亚专科医生和全科医生主导的皮肤癌诊所接受过早期黑色素瘤(美国癌症0-II期联合委员会)患者主导的MEL-SELF监测组中接受过治疗的成年人,随访12个月。数据分析时间为2025年2月6日至2025年8月15日。干预措施:参与者随机(1:1)接受偏振光(128[51.0%])或环境光(123[49.0%])皮肤镜智能手机附件。提供了可选的在线培训。参与者每隔3个月通过安全的远程皮肤科平台提交临床识别和自我检测的病变图像。主要结果和测量:主要结果是参与者提交足够质量的基线图像的比例,以便远程皮肤科医生提供管理建议。次要结果包括在研究期间接受至少1张图像管理推荐的比例,每张图像推荐比例,设备成本以及图像质量和可用性的定性评估。结果:251名参与者(平均[SD]年龄56.0[11.6]岁;147名女性[59%])中,175名(69.7%)接受了远程皮肤科医生的基线图像管理建议(偏光:92[71.9%];环境光:83[67.5%];差异为4.4%;95% CI为-7.0%至15.8%)。到12个月时,接受至少1项建议的比例在两组之间相似(偏光:128 / 104[81.3%];环境光:123 / 94[76.4%];差异为4.3%;95% CI为-8.1%至16.6%)。然而,单幅图像分析显示,报告的极化图像(961张中的913张[95.0%])比环境光图像(775张中的706张[91.1%])更多,并支持推荐(差异为3.9%;95% CI, 1.5%至6.3%;自定向病变:6.8%;95% CI, 3.3%至10.2%)。远程皮肤科医生对偏光图像提供了更多的积极反馈;模糊(n = 14 vs 9)和光线不足(n = 6 vs 0)在环境光图像中更为常见。患者可用性评分相似(中度/非常容易:39.8% vs 36.6%;差异,3.2%;95% CI, -8.8%到15.3%),但环境光皮肤镜用户报告了更多的图像质量问题。偏光装置更贵(324.16美元对35.40美元)。结论和相关性:本研究在一项试验中的结果表明,这两种设备使患者能够进行皮肤镜检查并接受远程皮肤病学建议。偏振器件的适度图像质量优势必须与其高得多的成本相权衡。试验注册:anzctr.org.au标识符:ACTRN12621000176864。
