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...
BackgroundTapinarof cream 1% once daily (QD), a topical aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonist, downregulates pro-inflammatory Th2 cytokines, upregulates skin-barrier components, and reduces oxidative stress.ObjectiveTo assess tapinarof efficacy safety in adults children down to 2 years of age with atopic dermatitis (AD).MethodsEight hundred thirteen patients were randomized or vehicle QD two 8-week phase 3 trials.ResultsThe primary endpoint, Validated Investigator Global Assessment for Atopic...
Abstract Background Acne‐induced hyperpigmentation (AIH) may accompany acne vulgaris (AV) inflammation in all skin phototypes. Trifarotene has shown depigmenting properties vivo. This study evaluated trifarotene plus skincare because it is increasingly recognized that holistic AV management should include and treatments. Methods a phase IV double‐blind, parallel‐group of patients (13–35 years) with moderate AIH treated ( N = 60) or vehicle 63) regimen (moisturizer, cleanser, sunscreen) for...
Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) refers to any condition in which there is absence of skin at birth. This can be isolated ACC occurring on the scalp, with or without underlying ectopic neural tissue, associated other conditions such as Adams-Oliver syndrome epidermolysis bullosa. We discuss different types and anomalies along an approach diagnosis management.
About 1% of children and adolescents worldwide are affected by plaque psoriasis.To evaluate the long-term efficacy safety ixekizumab for pediatric patients with moderate to severe psoriasis.This multicenter randomized clinical trial (IXORA-PEDS) evaluated psoriasis. Participants were aged 6 years younger than 18 years; had psoriasis, which was defined as Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) 12 or higher, static Physician's Global Assessment (sPGA) score 3 psoriasis-affected body surface area...
<h3>Importance</h3> Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a highly contagious skin condition. Lesions may persist for months to years, and no US Food Drug Administration–approved medications are currently available in the US. <h3>Objective</h3> To assess efficacy safety of berdazimer gel, 10.3%, novel topical nitric oxide–releasing medication, treatment MC. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This was multicenter, vehicle-controlled, double-blind, phase 3 randomized clinical trial (B-SIMPLE4)...
<h3>Background</h3> An out-of-office therapeutic agent indicated for molluscum contagiosum is needed. <h3>Objective</h3> To assess the efficacy and safety of berdazimer gel, 10.3% (a topical, antiviral, nitric oxide–releasing medication) versus vehicle. <h3>Methods</h3> Berdazimer or vehicle was applied once daily to all lesions 12 weeks in patients ≥6 months with 3-70 mollusca. Efficacy assessment: complete lesion clearance partial at week 12. Safety tolerability adverse events through 24...
<h3>Importance</h3> Children with epidermolysis bullosa (EB) comprise a rare population high morbidity and mortality. An improved understanding of the clinical trajectory patients EB, including age at time diagnosis major events, is needed to refine best practices improve quality life outcomes for EB. <h3>Objectives</h3> To describe demographics, characteristics, milestone diagnostic events (such as initial esophageal dilation), in EB using Epidermolysis Bullosa Clinical Characterization...
Tapinarof is a topical aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) agonist in development for the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD). In two phase 3 trials (ADORING 1 and 2), tapinarof cream 1% once daily (QD) demonstrated significant efficacy was well tolerated patients down to age 2 years with AD. Here, we evaluate patient-reported outcomes (PROs), including family impact, ADORING 2. 2, 813 were randomized or vehicle QD 8 weeks. PROs assessed using Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), Children's...
Introduction: In ADORING 1 and 2 phase 3 trials, tapinarof cream 1% (VTAMA®, Dermavant Sciences, an Organon Company) once daily (QD) demonstrated superior efficacy was well tolerated in patients down to age years with atopic dermatitis (AD). We present efficacy, safety, tolerability from 3. Methods: Patients 2, a 4-week maximal usage pharmacokinetics trial, tapinarof-naive mild AD, or moderate severe that did not meet inclusion criteria, received QD for up 48 weeks. Endpoints included...
<h3>Background</h3> Tufted angioma (known in Japanese literature as angioblastoma of Nakagawa) is an uncommon, histologically benign, vascular tumor. Lesions typically present during infancy or early childhood and are most commonly reported to persist and/or expand over time. Congenital presentations rare, reports spontaneous regression. <h3>Observations</h3> We a series 5 histopathologically confirmed cases congenital tufted that spontaneously regressed childhood. also review the...

Abstract Background/Objectives Patients with epidermolysis bullosa (EB) require care of wounds that are colonized or infected bacteria. A subset EB patients at risk for squamous cell carcinoma, and bacterial‐host interactions have been considered in this risk.

Methods retrospective 739 cultures 158...
In the past pyogenic granuloma (PG) in infancy has been easily confused clinically and histopathologically with infantile hemangioma (IH). 2000 North colleagues discovered that IH is immunopositive for GLUT-1, a glucose transporter which also expressed placental capillaries (1). GLUT-1 staining negative granuloma. We report two newborns congenital disseminated PG who were otherwise healthy. both of these cases, supported proper diagnosis.
