Key clinical point: Patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) who experienced greater pruritus reductions after nemolizumab treatment also showed clinically meaningful improvements in other pruritus and cutaneous symptoms.
Major finding: At week 16, a greater proportion of pruritus Visual Analogy Scale (VAS) responders (≥50% improvement) vs nonresponders achieved a pruritus VAS score of <30 mm (81.6% vs 0%), ≥50% improvement in the Eczema Area and Severity Index score (65.3% vs 44.7%), ≥4-point improvement in pruritus numerical rating scale score (89.6% vs 2.1%), and 5-level itch score of ≤1 (42.9% vs 3.2%).
Study details: This post hoc analysis of the Nemolizumab-JP01 study Part A included 215 patients with inadequately controlled AD who had been randomly assigned to receive subcutaneous 60 mg nemolizumab (n = 143) or placebo (n = 72) every 4 weeks for 16 weeks.
Disclosures: This study was funded by Maruho. Some authors declared receiving grants or personal fees from various organizations, including Maruho. Two authors declared being employees of Maruho.
