Abstract

Abstract The efficacy and safety of dupilumab have been reported previously based on data from controlled clinical trials. The GLOBOSTAD study extends the scope of these trials by providing real-world data. This analysis reports baseline demographics and family disease history in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) who received treatment with dupilumab in a real-world setting. This 5-year, international, multicentre, non-interventional study (GLOBOSTAD; NCT03992417) included patients ≥12 years old with moderate-to-severe AD (Investigator’s Global Assessment score ≥3) who received dupilumab treatment based on country-specific prescribing criteria. Data reported are for the population at baseline (N = 952; data cut-off: March 2022) in 22 countries. In the 952 patients included at baseline, mean (standard deviation) age at AD onset was 11.1 (16.0) years. Male patients represented 57.8% of patients and White patients 65.2%. The majority of patients were enrolled from Italy (17.2%), Japan (12.4%) and Spain (11.3%). Family history of type 2 inflammatory conditions (number of patients [%]) was prevalent, including AD (364 [38.2%]), asthma (238 [25%]), allergic rhinitis (219 [23%]), food allergies (74 [7.8%]), recurrent or chronic urticaria (31 [3.3%]), nasal polyposis (21 [2.2%]), eosinophilic esophagitis (11 [1.2%]) and other atopic/allergic conditions (39 [4.1%]). Most cases of type 2 inflammatory conditions were reported in first-degree relatives. Most patients enrolled in the GLOBOSTAD study developed AD during pre-adolescence. Family history of select type 2 inflammatory conditions, including AD, asthma and allergic rhinitis, was present in a moderate proportion of patients.
