Key clinical point: Dupilumab with or without topical corticosteroids (TCS) was beneficial in adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) regardless of any prior use of systemic nonsteroidal immunosuppressants (NSISS).

Major finding: Compared with placebo with/without TCS, dupilumab with/without TCS showed significant improvement in Eczema Area and Severity Index, SCORing AD, Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale, and quality of life in patients with/without prior use of NSISS (P less than .001) by week 16 which continued through week 52 of treatment.

Study details: Findings are from a post hoc analysis of 4 phase 3 clinical trials including 1553 patients with moderate-to-severe AD randomly assigned to placebo or dupilumab as monotherapy for 16 weeks or with concomitant TCS for 16/52 weeks.

Disclosures: This study was funded by Sanofi and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Some of the authors declared receiving grants, honoraria and serving as consultant or speaker or on advisory board for various sources. Some of the authors declared being employees and/or holding stocks/stock options at Sanofi, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc or Sanofi Genzyme.
