Long-term effectiveness and safety of upadacitinib for Japanese patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis: a real-world clinical study

Previous clinical trials presented efficacy and safety of Janus kinase 1 inhibitor upadacitinib through 52 weeks for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD). To assess the effectiveness and safety of upadacitinib through 48 weeks in real-world clinical practice for Japanese AD patients (aged ≥12 y...

Zusammenfassung:Previous clinical trials presented efficacy and safety of Janus kinase 1 inhibitor upadacitinib through 52 weeks for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD). To assess the effectiveness and safety of upadacitinib through 48 weeks in real-world clinical practice for Japanese AD patients (aged ≥12 years). This retrospective study included 287 patients with moderate-to severe AD treated with 15 mg (  = 216) or 30 mg (  = 71) of upadacitinib daily. Effectiveness was assessed using eczema area severity index (EASI) scores, atopic dermatitis control tool (ADCT), peak pruritus-numerical rating scale (PP-NRS), and investigator's global assessment (IGA). Safety was evaluated through the incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events. From baseline, EASI, ADCT, PP-NRS, and IGA rapidly reduced at week 4, and the reduction was maintained until week 48 of treatment with upadacitinib at both doses. Achievement rates of EASI 75, EASI 90, and EASI 100 at week 48 were 63.5, 30.2, and 7.9 in 15 mg group, and 77.4, 54.8, and 3.2% in 30 mg group, respectively. Acne and herpes zoster were frequent, but no serious adverse events occurred. Upadacitinib was therapeutically effective and tolerable for moderate-to-severe AD through 48 weeks in real-world clinical practice.
