Significant unmet need exists for long-term treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD).To assess the safety and efficacy dupilumab in patients with AD.This ongoing, multicenter, open-label extension study (NCT01949311) evaluated adults who had previously participated phase 1 through 3 clinical trials AD. This analysis examined given 300 mg weekly up 76 weeks at data cutoff (April 2016). Safety was primary outcome; also evaluated.Of 1491 enrolled (1042.9 patient-years), 92.9% were...

The IL-33/ST2 pathway is linked with asthma susceptibility. Inhaled allergens, pollutants, and respiratory viruses, which trigger exacerbations, induce release of IL-33, an epithelial-derived "alarmin." Astegolimab, a human IgG2 mAb, selectively inhibits the IL-33 receptor, ST2. Approved biologic therapies for severe mainly benefit patients elevated blood eosinophils (type 2-high), but limited options are available low 2-low). Inhibiting signaling may target pathogenic pathways in wider...

For adolescent patients (aged ≥ 12 to < 18 years) with uncontrolled moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD), 16 weeks of treatment dupilumab resulted in substantial clinical benefit compared placebo, an acceptable safety profile. However, long-term data on the approved dose regimens adolescents AD are lacking. This open-label extension study (LIBERTY PED-OLE, NCT02612454) reports safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics who had participated parent trials. Patients enrolled under original...

Safe and effective long-term treatments for adolescents with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD) are limited.To evaluate the efficacy safety of interleukin-13-targeted treatment tralokinumab monotherapy in AD.The 52-week, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, phase 3 ECZTRA 6 trial was conducted from July 17, 2018, through March 16, 2021, at 72 centers across 10 countries North America, Europe, Asia, Australia. Enrolled patients were 12 17 years old AD (Investigator's Global...

Introduction: Lebrikizumab, a novel, high-affinity monoclonal antibody selectively targeting interleukin-13, has demonstrated efficacy and safety in moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis at higher doses than studied asthma. Clinical trials of lebrikizumab uncontrolled asthma have not consistent exacerbation reductions, possibly due to suboptimal patient selection premature understanding phenotypes. We describe post-hoc analyses adults with eosinophilic history ≥1 the past 12 months from 2...

Patients with chronic urticaria (CU) may have different clinical courses of disease including periods active CU, remission, and relapse. The objective this study was to describe representative remission relapse profiles for patients CU. Adults a CU diagnosis confirmation diagnosis/CU-related treatment at least 6 weeks later were identified in the Optum® de-identified Electronic Health Record dataset (2007–2018).
