Key clinical point: Reduction in dupilumab dose to every 3 or 4 weeks does not decrease its efficacy in patients with persistently-controlled atopic dermatitis (AD), with clinical outcome measures remaining stable over time.

Major finding: After 144 weeks, similar to patients receiving 300 mg dupilumab every 2 weeks, those receiving 300 mg dupilumab every 3 and 4 weeks had significantly decreased mean Eczema Area and Severity Index, Severity Scoring of Atopic Dermatitis, Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale, and Sleep Numerical Rating Scale scores (all P < .05).

Study details: This multicenter retrospective observational study included 54 patients age ≥ 16 years with controlled moderate-to-severe AD treated with dupilumab for ≥ 1 year who were assigned to receive 300 mg dupilumab every 2 weeks (n = 27), 3 weeks (n = 17), or 4 weeks (n = 10).

Disclosures: This study received no specific funding from any sources. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
