Long-term efficacy and safety of secukinumab in patients with moderate-to-severe hidradenitis suppurativa: Week 104 results from the SUNSHINE and SUNRISE extension trial.

Background: SUNSHINE and SUNRISE demonstrated sustained clinical efficacy of secukinumab in patients with moderate-to-severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) through 52 weeks. Patients completing the core trials could enter a 4-year extension trial.

Objectives: To evaluate the long-term efficacy, safety/tolerability, and maintenance of clinical response of secukinumab through Week 104 in the extension trial.

Treatment satisfaction in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa: A real-world survey from the EU5 and US.

Introduction Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a debilitating, inflammatory skin disorder. Treatment strategies in patients with HS are challenging; real-world evidence in a HS population is warranted for greater disease understanding. The objective of this analysis was to describe real-world treatment patterns and treatment satisfaction in patients with HS.

The patient's perspective on the burden of psoriasis: findings based on the ROCQ, an online survey.

Psoriasis is a common chronic skin disease, with well-characterised impact on quality-of life, however, no information is available on the lifetime impact of psoriasis on patients' lives. This descriptive cross-sectional web-based survey of patients with psoriasis, recruited from an online patient community, was conducted in France in 2021. Established questionnaires (Major Life-Changing Decision Profile-MLCDP, Dermatology Life Quality Index-DLQI, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale [HADS]), CAGE and BRIEF-COPE) were administered together with specially created questions.

Hyperactivation of the JAK2/STAT5 Signaling Pathway and Evaluation of Baricitinib Treatment Among Patients With Eosinophilic Cellulitis.

Importance: The pathogenesis of eosinophilic cellulitis (EC) is poorly understood, limiting available treatment options. The current treatment paradigm focuses on delayed type 2 hypersensitivity reaction to various triggers.

Objective: To gain further insight into the nature of EC inflammation and into the cellular signal transduction pathways that are activated in the context of EC.

Treatment of dissecting cellulitis of the scalp with tumour necrosis factor inhibitors: a retrospective multicentre study.

Although retinoids are considered as the most effective treatment, management of dissecting cellulitis of the scalp (DCS) is often challenging. A multicentre retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF) agents in treating DCS after failure of other conventional treatments. Twenty-six patients were included.

Vascular inflammation in moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis is associated with enhanced Th2 response.

Background: In atopic dermatitis (AD), some studies have shown an association with increased cardiovascular disease in certain populations. However, other investigations found modest or no association. Despite conflicting results, molecular profiling studies in both AD skin and blood have demonstrated upregulation of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular risk-related markers.

High-dimensional analysis defines multicytokine T-cell subsets and supports a role for IL-21 in atopic dermatitis.

Background: Flow cytometry is a well-accepted approach for immune profiling; however, its value is restricted by the limited number of markers that can be analyzed simultaneously. Mass cytometry/CyTOF offers broad-scale immune characterization integrating large number of parameters. While partial blood phenotyping was reported in atopic dermatitis (AD), patients' comprehensive profiling, critical for leveraging new targeted treatments, is not available.

Massive clonal expansion of polycytotoxic skin and blood CD8 T cells in patients with toxic epidermal necrolysis.

Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a life-threatening cutaneous adverse drug reaction. To better understand why skin symptoms are so severe, we conducted a prospective immunophenotyping study on skin and blood. Mass cytometry results confirmed that effector memory polycytotoxic CD8 T cells (CTLs) are the main leucocytes in TEN blisters at the acute phase.

Baseline Characteristics of a National French E-Cohort of Hidradenitis Suppurativa in ComPaRe and Comparison with Other Large Hidradenitis Suppurativa Cohorts.

Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition substantially impacting patients' quality of life; the pathogenesis remains unclear, and treatment is complex and not yet standardized. Observational data are increasingly being used to evaluate therapeutics in "real-life" interventions, and the development of e-cohorts is offering new tools for epidemiological studies at the population level.

Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics and treatment history of HS participants in the Community of Patients for Research (ComPaRe) cohort and to compare these to other cohorts.

Le choix thérapeutique : médicaments du psoriasis et grossesse avant, pendant et après la grossesse.

Psoriasis typically affects young adults and therefore many women with a desire to become pregnant or already pregnant. In this particular situation, treatment can be a real challenge for some patients, especially in the case of severe forms. In addition to local treatments, which are generally well tolerated, UVB phototherapy and cyclosporin remain the first-line systemic treatments.

Long-Term Infliximab Treatment in Psoriasis Patients: A National Multicentre Retrospective Study.

Background: Although infliximab (IFX) has been available since 2005, there are very little data on the long-term drug survival of infliximab in real-life.

Objective: Our aim was to identify and describe psoriasis patients treated with IFX for longer than 6 years.

Methods: Psoriasis patients treated with IFX for longer than 6 years were retrospectively included.

Which Factors Determine Affected Sites in Hidradenitis Suppurativa?

Background: The factors that determine whether an area of the body will be affected by hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) are unknown.

Methods: To address these factors, we performed multivariate regression analyses in a cohort of 1,138 patients.

Results: We found that the body sites affected occurred in specific combinations that were influenced by sex and body mass index.

Are there distinct clinical and pathological features distinguishing idiopathic from drug-induced subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus? A European retrospective multicenter study.

Background: Clinical and pathologic criteria to distinguish drug-induced subacute lupus erythematosus (DI-SCLE) from idiopathic (I-SCLE) are controversial.

Objective: The aim of the survey was a retrospective analysis of a consistent number of iatrogenous and idiopathic SCLE cases, by means of clinical and histopathologic investigation.

Methods: Eleven European university dermatology units collected all diagnosed cases from January 2000 to December 2016.
