Successful Achievement of Demanding Outcomes in Upadacitinib-Treated Atopic Dermatitis Patients: A Real-World, 96-Week Single-Centre Study.

Introduction: Results from randomized controlled trials of upadacitinib, a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, have led to its approval for the treatment of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) in patients aged ≥ 12 years. The aim of this study was to report the effectiveness and safety of upadacitinib in real-world settings over a period of 96 weeks.

Methods: This retrospective study included all patients treated with upadacitinib at our centre between April 2022 and September 2024.

Switching between JAK Inhibitors in Patients with Atopic Dermatitis: Unanswered Questions in Daily Clinical Practice.

Data on switching between agents in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) are scarce (1-3). We report the case of a patient with severe AD and inadequate response to upadacitinib who showed a complete response after switching to abrocitinib. A 23-year-old male patient with severe AD was enrolled in the Measure Up double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 randomized clinical trial.

Atopic Dermatitis: Striving for Reliable Biomarkers.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a highly heterogeneous inflammatory disease regarding both its pathophysiology and clinical manifestations. However, it is treated according to the "one-size-fits-all" approach, which may restrict response to treatment. Thus, there is an unmet need for the stratification of patients with AD into distinct endotypes and clinical phenotypes based on biomarkers that will contribute to the development of precision medicine in AD.
