No severe adverse events were reported.

Study details: This single-center retrospective real-life study included 38 patients aged 12 years with moderate-to-severe AD and inadequate response, intolerance, or contraindications to cyclosporine or dupilumab who had received upadacitinib (15/30 mg daily) for 8 weeks; 35 patients received the treatment for 16 weeks.
