Abstract

Abstract Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a type 2 inflammatory disease characterized by elevations in several biomarkers including serum IgE—a key downstream mediator in the type 2 adaptive immune response. Patients with moderate-to-severe AD were enrolled for 16 weeks in any of six randomized, placebo-controlled, phase 3 studies: in LIBERTY AD PRESCHOOL, (NCT03346434 part B) patients aged 6 months to 5 years were treated with dupilumab 200/300 mg every 4 weeks (q4w) + topical corticosteroids (TCS; n = 83) or placebo + TCS (n = 79); in LIBERTY AD PEDS (NCT03345914), patients aged 6–11 years were treated with dupilumab + TCS [100/200 mg q2w (n = 122), 300 mg q4w (n = 122)] or placebo + TCS (n = 123); in LIBERTY AD ADOL (NCT03054428), patients aged 12–17 years were treated with dupilumab [200/300 mg q2w (n = 82), 300 mg q4w (n = 83)] or placebo (n = 85); and in LIBERTY AD CHRONOS/SOLO1/SOLO2 (NCT02260986/NCT02277743/NCT02277769, pooled), patients aged ≥18 years were treated with dupilumab [300 mg q2w (n = 563),300 mg qw (n = 781) ] or placebo (n = 775). The TCS were allowed in CHRONOS only. At Week 16, dupilumab treatment significantly (P < 0.0001) reduced median total serum IgE levels [kU/L (IQR)] compared with placebo in patients aged 6 months to 5 years [843 (207–3300) vs. 3625 (540.5–8585)], 6–11 years [1519 (532–3808) vs. 3862 (1166–9999)], 12–17 years [1391 (436–2842) vs. 4569 (800.5–10000)] and ≥18 years [1340 (229–4360) vs. 3722 (555–10000)]. Dupilumab treatment reduced total serum IgE levels in patients aged 6 months and older with moderate-to-severe AD. Overall safety was consistent with the known dupilumab safety profile.
