Key clinical point: Ruxolitinib cream demonstrated rapid and sustained improvement in itch in patients with mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis (AD).
Major finding: A significantly higher proportion of patients receiving ruxolitinib (0.75% or 1.5%) vs vehicle cream achieved ≥2-point reduction in itch numerical rating scale (NRS2) score as rapidly as within 12 hours (16.3% and 13.1% vs 6.9%; P < .05), with further improvements at week 8 (58.3% and 65.1% vs 29.4%; P < .0001). In patients receiving ruxolitinib (0.75% or 1.5%) vs vehicle cream, time to achieve itch NRS2 score was shorter (5 and 4 vs 17 days).
Study details: Findings are from a pooled analysis of two phase 3 trials, TRuE-AD1 and TRuE-AD2, including 1249 patients with mild-to-moderate AD who were randomly assigned to receive ruxolitinib (0.75% or 1.5%) or vehicle cream twice daily for 8 weeks.
Disclosures: This study was funded by Incyte Corporation. Three authors declared being employees and shareholders of Incyte Corporation. The other authors declared serving as scientific advisors, investigators, or consultants or receiving research grants and honoraria from several sources.
