Background: Clinical trials and real-life data have reported an increased incidence of conjunctivitis in patients treated with dupilumab for their atopic dermatitis (AD). Although mostly mild in severity, in some cases conjunctivitis will appear or increase after dupilumab initiation, which can lead to dupilumab discontinuation.

Objectives: (1) To describe the characteristics of patients developing conjunctivitis requiring discontinuation of dupilumab; and (2) to analyse the factors associated with a complete conjunctivitis improvement after dupilumab discontinuation and a switch to tralokinumab or Janus kinase inhibitors.

Purpose: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is an inflammatory skin disease characterized by recurrent or chronic painful and suppurating lesions in the apocrine gland-bearing regions. The lack of knowledge about HS and its extremely heterogeneous clinical presentation, in terms of both lesion appearance and sites of involvement, frequently delay its diagnosis for several years. Objectives: in this study, using the latent class analysis, it was demonstrated that severity of HS could be evaluated not only with clinical or surgical characteristics but also with gender specificities.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to analyze the clinical practice and safety of switching biologics among pediatric psoriasis patients in the BiPe cohort, which included 134 patients.
  • Out of the patients, 29 switched biologics mainly due to loss of efficacy, with most transitions occurring from etanercept to adalimumab or ustekinumab.
  • The research found no significant differences in drug survival rates based on whether the biologics were used as first-line or second-line treatments, indicating a need for more data to guide switching in clinical practice.
