Dupilumab shows good drug survival in moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis


 

Key clinical point: Dupilumab demonstrated good overall drug survival for up to 3 years in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD).

Major finding: Dupilumab showed good overall drug survival rates at 1-year (90.3%), 2-year (85.9%), and 3-year (78.6%). The use of immunosuppressant drugs at baseline was associated with shorter drug survival owing to ineffectiveness (hazard ratio [HR] 2.64; 95% CI 1.10-6.37) and adverse events (HR 2.69; 95% CI 1.32-5.48).

Study details : Findings are from an analysis of the BioDay registry data of 715 adult patients with moderate-to-severe AD who received dupilumab and were followed-up for ≥4 weeks.

Disclosures: The BioDay registry was sponsored by Sanofi Genzyme. The authors declared receiving grants, personal fees, speaking fees, financial support or nonfinancial support from several sources.
