Key clinical point: Switching to abrocitinib after failing to respond to other Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKs) or biologics improved clinical outcomes in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD), without compromising safety.
Major finding: At a median follow-up of 28 weeks, abrocitinib led to a significant decrease in median Eczema Area and Severity Index and Investigator’s Global Assessment scores (both P < .0001). At least one adverse event, generally mild, occurred in 60.9% of patients.
Study details: This prospective observational study included 41 adult patients with moderate-to-severe AD previously treated with conventional immunosuppressants, targeted therapies, or both, with most having failed to respond with biologics or other JAKi; the patients received 100 mg or 200 mg abrocitinib once daily.
Disclosures: This study did not receive any funding. D Hijnen declared serving as an investigator and consultant for various organizations. The other authors declared no conflicts of interest.
