538 - Physician-assessed effectiveness and patient-reported outcomes in adult and adolescent patients with atopic dermatitis in the Asian subpopulation treated with dupilumab: real-world insights 1 year into the GLOBOSTAD multinational prospective observational study

Abstract

Abstract Introduction In multiple randomized controlled clinical trials, dupilumab demonstrated robust efficacy in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD). Long-term effectiveness of dupilumab in real-world AD treatment is one of the main objectives of the ongoing GLOBOSTAD study. Comprehensive data on Asian patients with moderate-to-severe AD treated with dupilumab are limited. Objectives To report patient-reported outcomes and physician-assessed AD clinical measures to evaluate disease characteristics, severity, and treatment effectiveness 1 year after initiating dupilumab treatment in Asian patients. The baseline disease severity and patient demographics have been reported previously1. Methods This 5-year, multinational, multicentre, prospective, observational study (GLOBOSTAD; NCT03992417) included Asian patients ≥12 years-old with moderate-to-severe AD who initiated dupilumab treatment based on country-specific prescribing criteria. Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI), Scoring Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD), Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM), Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (PP-NRS) and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) were assessed at baseline, 3 months (± 1 month), 6 months (± 2 months), and 12 months (± 2 months). Data are reported as observed in patients self-reported as Asian for enrolment/safety (N = 204; data cutoff: March 2023) and follow-up (N = 194) populations. Results During the study, EASI (>21 = severe; ≤7 = mild/no disease) score improved from 28.0 (12.1), mean (SD) at baseline to 7.4 (8.5) at 3 months, 5.7 (6.9) at 6 months, and was sustained until the end of observation period, 12 months, at 4.7 (7.1). Similarly, SCORAD (>50 = severe; <25 = mild/no disease) score improved from 61.5 (16.9) at baseline to 25.4 (16.6) at 3 months, 22.5(14.8) at 6 months, and further improved to 18.6 (13.3) at 12 months. During the study, patients also reported early improvements in POEM, mean (SD) from 19.1 (7.3) at baseline to 8.0 (5.8) at 3 months, 7.6 (5.5) at 6 months, and to 7.2 (5.0) at end of observation period (12 months); PP-NRS decreased from 5.7 (2.3) to 2.1 (2.2) to 1.7 (1.8), and to 1.4 (1.7) at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months respectively; and DLQI improved from 13.2 (7.4) to 4.9 (4.6) to 4.0 (3.8), and to 4.1 (4.0) at 3 months, 6 months and 12 months respectively. Dupilumab-related adverse events were reported in 44 (21.5%) patients while 4 (2.0%) reported dupilumab-related severe adverse events. Conclusion In Asian patients, the initiation of dupilumab treatment led to early improvements in all AD outcome measures, sustained throughout the 1-year observational period. Safety and treatment effectiveness were consistent with overall population.
