Introduction: There is a scarcity of data beyond 1 year for the use of dupilumab to treat atopic dermatitis (AD) in a real-world setting. This study aimed to evaluate the 2-year effectiveness of dupilumab among adult and pediatric patients with moderate-to-severe AD included in a real-world, longitudinal database study.
Methods: PROSE is an ongoing, prospective, observational, multi-center registry in the USA and Canada, designed to collect real-world data from patients aged ≥ 12 years with moderate-to-severe AD who initiate dupilumab in accordance with country-specific prescribing information. Assessments include body surface area affected by AD (BSA), Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI), Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (P-NRS), Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM), Patient Global Assessment of Disease (PGAD) questionnaire score, and occurrence of adverse events (AEs).
Results: Of 764 patients who enrolled in PROSE, 632 (83%) remained in the study at the time of this interim analysis. Improvements were observed at the first post-baseline clinic visit (approximately 3 months) in the clinician-assessed measures (mean BSA and EASI scores); improvements were sustained throughout the 2-year period covered in the present study. Consistent and sustained improvements were also observed over the 2-year period in the patient-reported measures of P-NRS, POEM, and DLQI, and in the proportion of patients reporting "very good/excellent" in answer to the question in the PGAD questionnaire: "Considering all the ways in which your eczema affects you, indicate how well you are doing". Dupilumab treatment was well tolerated, with safety findings consistent with those previously reported in studies of dupilumab for the treatment of AD.
Conclusions: In the real-world PROSE registry, patients with moderate-to-severe AD experienced sustained improvement in disease control, symptoms, and quality of life up to 2 years after initiating dupilumab treatment. Safety data were consistent with the known safety profile of dupilumab.

Background: Inhibition of IL-4/IL-13 driven inflammation by dupilumab has shown significant clinical benefits in treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD).
Objective: To assess longitudinal protein and metabolite composition in AD skin during dupilumab treatment.
Methods: Skin tape strip (STS) were collected from lesional/non-lesional skin of 20 AD patients during 16-week dupilumab treatment and from 20 healthy volunteers (HV) followed for 16-weeks.

Introduction: We assessed potential mechanisms behind the requirement for more frequent dupilumab dosing in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) compared with other approved indications.
Methods: Results for the phase 3 LIBERTY EoE TREET study coprimary endpoints (proportion of patients achieving a peak intraepithelial eosinophil count of ≤6 eosinophils per high-power field and absolute change from baseline in Dysphagia Symptom Questionnaire total score) were pooled in exposure-response analyses.
Results: A steep initial relationship then plateau was observed between higher dupilumab steady-state trough concentrations and decreased eosinophilic infiltration at week 24, whereas a graded exposure-response relationship was observed for symptomatic improvement at week 24.

Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the nasal passages and sinuses, often characterized by nasal congestion, loss of smell, facial pressure, and nasal discharge. Conventional treatments, such as corticosteroids and endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS), often provide only temporary relief, with frequent recurrence of symptoms. For patients with severe, refractory CRSwNP, biologic therapies have emerged as a promising treatment option.

Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is an inflammatory condition characterized by persistent nasal obstruction, discharge, facial pressure, and olfactory dysfunction. CRSwNP significantly impairs quality of life (QoL), with olfactory loss being a particularly distressing symptom that affects food enjoyment, personal safety, and social interactions.
Methods: This study investigated the experiences of Italian patients with CRSwNP.
