Abstract

Abstract Background Dupilumab has shown efficacy in the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD) in clinical trials, but there is a need for long-term data on patients starting dupilumab treatment for atopic dermatitis in a real-world setting. Methods PROSE (NCT03428646) is an ongoing 5-year, prospective, observational study of patients aged ≥12 years who initiated commercially available dupilumab treatment for AD per country-specific prescribing information. Patients received a loading dose of dupilumab at baseline, without restrictions on post-baseline dosing changes or concomitant medication and were encouraged to stay in the study if they discontinued dupilumab. Data presented are descriptive, from a 3-year interim analysis. Results 857 patients were enrolled. In these patients, mean (SD) age was 40.1 (17.9) years, AD duration 17.4 (16.2) years, and dupilumab treatment duration 23.1 (13.7) months (M). Mean (SE) baseline EASI total score was 16.2 (0.4), Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) 7.1(0.1), Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) 13.3 (0.3), and skin pain NRS 5.4 (0.1). 189 (22.1%) patients had withdrawn by data cut-off; the most common reasons for discontinuation were withdrawal of consent in 76 patients and loss to follow-up in 30. Mean (SE) EASI total score was 5.6 (0.4) at 3M, 2.9 (0.2) at 12M, 2.7 (0.4) at 24M, and 1.7 (0.3) at 36M. Mean (SE) change from baseline in Peak Pruritus NRS was −3.5 (0.2) at 3M, −4.2 (0.2) at 12M, −4.7 (0.2) at 24M, and −5.1 (0.3) at 36M. Mean (SE) change from baseline in DLQI was −7.4 (0.3) at 3M, −8.3 (0.7) at 12M, −9.2 (0.9) at 24M, and −8.8 (1.5) at 36M. Mean (SE) change from baseline in skin pain NRS was −3.3 (0.3) at 3M, −3.8 (0.2) at 12M, −4.0 (0.3) at 24M, and −4.6 (0.3) at 36M. Safety findings were consistent with the previously described safety profile of dupilumab. Conclusion In this interim analysis of the PROSE registry, sustained disease control was observed in patients with moderate-to-­severe AD for up to 3 years after initiating dupilumab treatment.
