Key clinical point: Treatment of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) with dupilumab is not associated with the development of primary or recurrent malignancy.

Major finding: Dupilumab-exposed and unexposed patients had comparable incidence rates of primary malignancies (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.010; P  =  .946), keratinocyte cancers (aHR, 0.994; P  =  .973), and recurrent cancers (aHR, 0.828; P  =  .758) per 1,000 person-years.

Study details: This single-center 5-year retrospective study included 9,707 patients with AD, of which 1,627 patients received dupilumab treatment.

Disclosures: This study did not receive any funding. Some authors declared serving as consultants for and/or receiving research funds from various organizations.
