Key clinical point: The combination of upadacitinib and topical corticosteroids (TCS) showed long-term efficacy and a favorable safety profile in moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD).

Major finding: Among patients receiving upadacitinib 15 mg or 30 mg each in combination with TCS, 50.8% (95% confidence interval [CI], 45.1%-56.5%) and 69.0% (95% CI, 63.7%-74.3%) achieved 75% or more improvement in Eczema Area and Severity Index, whereas 33.5% (95% CI, 28.1%-38.9%) and 45.2% (95% CI, 39.5%-50.9%) achieved validated Investigator’s Global Assessment for AD 0/1, respectively, at week 52. Both doses of upadacitinib+TCS were well tolerated with no new safety risks or deaths.

Study details: Findings are 52-week results from AD Up, an ongoing phase 3 trial including 901 patients with chronic AD randomly assigned to upadacitinib 15 mg, upadacitinib 30 mg, or placebo, all in combination with TCS.

Disclosures: This study was funded by AbbVie. The authors declared serving as speaker, consultant, advisor, and investigator and/or receiving consulting fees, honoraria, and grants from various sources including AbbVie. Five authors declared being employees and/or shareholders of AbbVie.
