Key clinical point: Upadacitinib is effective and well-tolerated in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) and prior failure to multiple systemic immunosuppressive and biologic therapies.

Major finding: At a median follow-up of 37.5 weeks, the median Investigator’s Global Assessment scores and Numerical Rating Scale itch scores reduced significantly from 3.00 to 1.50 and from 7.00 to 2.25, respectively (both P < .001). The adverse events reported were mostly mild in severity, with acne-like eruptions (25%) and nausea (13%) being the most common.

Study details: This prospective observational single-center study included 48 patients with moderate-to-severe AD receiving 15 mg or 30 mg upadacitinib daily, most of whom (n = 39) had failed other targeted therapies, including other Janus kinase inhibitors and biologics.

Disclosures: This study did not receive any funding. DJ Hijnen declared serving as an investigator and consultant for various sources. The other authors declared no conflicts of interest.
