Key clinical point: Baricitinib monotherapy improved clinically burdensome symptom of skin pain on the first day itself after the first dose in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD).

Major finding: By day 2, skin pain numerical rating scale scores changed significantly from baseline with baricitinib vs placebo in BREEZE-AD1 (baricitinib 4 mg, 11.9%; 2 mg, 6.4%; 1 mg, 6.2%; all P less than .05), BREEZE-AD2 (baricitinib 4 mg, 12.6%; 2 mg, 5.6%; 1 mg, 6.9%; all P less than .05), and BREEZE-AD7 (baricitinib 4 mg, 6.9%; 2 mg, 7.9%; both P less than .05).

Study details: Findings are from an analysis of 3 phase 3 trials (BREEZE-AD1, BREEZE-AD2, and BREEZE-AD7) including 1,568 patients with moderate-to-severe AD with inadequate response to existing topical therapies who were randomly assigned to baricitinib or placebo with or without topical corticosteroids.

Disclosures: This work was funded by Eli Lilly and Company. Some of the authors declared receiving grants, honoraria, consulting, and/or lecturing fees from and/or serving as advisory board member, speaker, and/or investigator for various sources including Eli Lilly. Two authors declared being employees and shareholders of Eli Lilly.
