Abstract

BACKGROUND: A significant improvement in clinical signs was demonstrated with abrocitinib relative to placebo in adolescents with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) in three phase 3, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled studies (JADE TEEN [ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03796676], JADE MONO-1 [NCT03349060] and JADE MONO-2 [NCT03575871]).OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the impact of abrocitinib on patient-reported signs/symptoms, including sleep loss and quality of life among adolescents with moderate-to-severe AD.METHODS: JADE TEEN, JADE MONO-1 and JADE MONO-2 were conducted in the Asia-Pacific region, Europe and North America and included patients aged 12 to 17 years with moderate-to-severe AD and inadequate response to =4 consecutive weeks of topical medication or treatment with systemic therapy for AD. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1:1, JADE TEEN; 2:2:1, JADE MONO-1/-2) to receive once-daily oral abrocitinib (200 mg or 100 mg) or placebo for 12 weeks in combination with topical therapy (JADE TEEN) or as monotherapy (JADE MONO-1/-2). Data from adolescent patients in JADE MONO-1/-2 were pooled for these analyses.RESULTS: At week 12, more adolescents treated with abrocitinib (200 mg or 100 mg) vs. placebo achieved a =4-point improvement from baseline in the Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure in JADE TEEN (83.9% and 77.0% vs. 60.2%) and JADE MONO-1/-2 (83.0% and 69.4% vs. 43.5%) and a =6-point improvement from baseline in the Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index in JADE TEEN (73.8% and 67.5% vs. 56.5%) and JADE MONO-1/-2 (70.0% and 57.1% vs. 19.0%). Significant improvements in SCORing Atopic Dermatitis Visual Analog Scale for sleep loss scores were demonstrated with abrocitinib vs. placebo at weeks 2 to 12 in JADE TEEN and JADE MONO-1/-2.CONCLUSIONS: Patient-reported signs/symptoms, including reduction of sleep loss and quality of life, were substantially improved with abrocitinib monotherapy or combination therapy relative to placebo in adolescents with moderate-to-severe AD.
