Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a highly heterogeneous chronic inflammatory skin disorder that is frequently associated with a plethora of comorbidities. AD is, therefore, considered a systemic disease impacted by a considerable burden and leading to poor quality of life, especially in patients with moderate-to-severe disease. Since atopic and non-atopic comorbidities can further worsen the disease course, accurate establishment of the patient's individual intrinsic risk profile and needs is crucial and may help in guiding the selection of the best treatment option. Better quality of care for patients with AD can be delivered through a multidisciplinary team led by a dermatologist, for comprehensive patient management. The implementation of a multidisciplinary approach for AD could enhance the delivery of optimised and safe treatments, improve the standard of care and patient outcomes in the short and long term, and prevent or delay the lifelong impact of uncontrolled AD. Understanding the unmet needs, assessing correctly the patient risk profile and enhancing the shared patient-physician decision-making process can lead to disease control and quality-of-life improvement, especially in the context of the introduction of newer treatment for AD. This narrative review is a call for more data to establish standardised patient profiles and multidisciplinary strategies in AD management. In view on the fast-evolving treatments for AD, this review aims at highlighting the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to a comprehensive assessment and holistic care in patients with moderate-to-severe AD.

Ozonated Sunflower Oil (OSO) Alleviates Inflammatory Responses in Oxazolone-Induced Atopic Dermatitis (AD)-Like Mice and LPS-Treated RAW 264.7 Cells. J Microbiol Biotechnol 2024; 34:765-773. [PMID: 38247218 DOI: 10.4014/jmb.2310.10037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/23/2024]
Abstract
Ozone, a highly reactive oxidant molecule, is widely used as a complementary therapy for various skin diseases, including wound healing, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot, and infections. However, there is limited research on the effectiveness of ozone for atopic dermatitis (AD). Ozonated sunflower oil (OSO) is an active ingredient obtained from partially ozonated sunflower oil (SO). OSO markedly reduced the LPS-induced increase in IL-1β and nitric oxide (NO) levels in RAW 264.7 mouse macrophage cells. Oxazolone (OXZ) was applied to hairless mice to induce AD-like skin symptoms and immune response. OSO significantly alleviated the OXZ-induced increases in the number of infiltrating mast cells, epidermal thickness, AD symptoms, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), and filaggrin, as well as the serum levels of NO, IgE, IL-1β, and TNF-α. Furthermore, OSO inhibited the IL-4/STAT3/MAPK pathway and the expression of NF-κB. Our results suggest that OSO treatment could relieve AD-mediated skin damage through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Therefore, it can be used as a therapeutic agent against AD-related skin diseases.

Dupilumab provides sustained effectiveness on patient-reported outcomes and favorable safety in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis: Up to 5-year results from the daily practice BioDay registry. J Am Acad Dermatol 2024:S0190-9622(24)00641-8. [PMID: 38653344 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaad.2024.04.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2023] [Revised: 03/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Long-term daily practice data on patient-reported benefits of dupilumab for atopic dermatitis (AD) remains limited. OBJECTIVE To evaluate patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and the safety of dupilumab in patients with moderate-to-severe AD over a follow-up period of up to 5 years. METHODS Data were extracted from the prospective, multicenter BioDay registry (October 2017-2022) of patients with moderate-to-severe AD treated with dupilumab in daily practice. RESULTS In total 1223 patients, 1108 adults and 115 pediatric patients were included. After ≥1 year of treatment, mean Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM), Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), Numeric rating scale (NRS)-pruritus ranged between 7.8 and 8.7, 3.5 and 4.2, and 2.9 and 3.1 in adults, respectively, whilst these patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) ranged between 8.9 and 10.9, 4.4 and 6.4, and 3.0 and 3.7 in pediatric patients, respectively. At follow-up, overall work impairment decreased from 40.1% to 16.3% to 13.3% in adults. Furthermore, class I obesity and itch-dominant patients generally had less favorable treatment response. Of all patients, 66.8% reported ≥1 adverse event, with conjunctivitis being the most common (33.7%). LIMITATIONS The overall percentage of missing values for selected PROMs was 26% in adults and 46% in pediatric patients. CONCLUSION In addition to favorable safety, dupilumab has demonstrated sustained effectiveness across various PROMs, underscoring the treatment benefits from patients' perspectives.

Management of Patients Affected by Moderate-to-Severe Atopic Dermatitis with JAK Inhibitors in Real-World Clinical Practice: An Italian Delphi Consensus. Dermatol Ther (Heidelb) 2024; 14:919-932. [PMID: 38509380 PMCID: PMC11052938 DOI: 10.1007/s13555-024-01135-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2024] [Accepted: 02/28/2024] [Indexed: 03/22/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Several systemic therapies have been approved for the treatment of severe AD. In particular, Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi), including abrocitinib, baricitinib, and upadacitinib, recently received approval for the treatment of patients with severe AD after being evaluated in several clinical trials. However, a few concerns have been raised regarding their long-term safety and the management of these drugs in real-world clinical practice. In this article we described the results of a Delphi consensus aimed at describing the knowledge on JAKi and focusing, in particular, on providing clinical recommendations for dermatologists in daily practice regarding the use of these drugs. METHODS Twelve Italian dermatologists reviewed the most recent literature regarding the efficacy and safety profiles of JAKi and proposed 24 statements. RESULTS Agreement was reached for statements focusing on three main topics: (1) place in therapy of JAKi in patients with moderate-to-severe AD; (2) effectiveness and safety of JAK inhibitors in different phenotypes; (3) different approaches to the management of patients treated with JAKi in clinical practice. The panel proposed several recommendations regarding all the statements. CONCLUSION Given the wide use of JAKi in clinical practice, it is crucial to establish a specific follow-up for each patient's phenotype in order to achieve the best possible clinical outcome and minimize potential adverse events.

Abstract
Assessment of atopic dermatitis (AD) severity is essential for therapeutic decision making and monitoring treatment progress. However, there are a myriad of clinical measurement tools available, some of which are impractical for routine clinical use despite being recommended for clinical trials in AD. For measurement tools to be used in clinical practice, they should be valid, reliable, rapidly completed, and scored, and easily incorporated into existing clinic workflows. This narrative review addresses content, validity, and feasibility, and provides a simplified repertoire of assessments for clinical assessment of AD based on prior evidence and expert opinion. Tools that may be feasible for clinical practice include patient-reported outcomes (eg, dermatology life quality index, patient-oriented eczema measure, numerical rating scales for itch, pain, and sleep disturbance, AD Control Tool, and patient-reported global assessment), and clinician-reported outcomes (eg, body surface area and investigator's global assessment). AD is associated with variable clinical signs, symptoms, extent of lesions, longitudinal course, comorbidities, and impacts. Any single domain is insufficient to holistically characterize AD severity, select therapy, or monitor treatment response. A combination of these tools is recommended to balance completeness and feasibility.

Different molecular weight hyaluronic acid alleviates inflammation response in DNFB-induced mice atopic dermatitis and LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. Life Sci 2022; 301:120591. [PMID: 35513086 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2022.120591] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2022] [Revised: 04/18/2022] [Accepted: 04/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
AIMS Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an inflammatory chronic disease which severely interferes the life of patients. Hence, there is a great need for new therapies. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is an effective potential inflammation modifier; however, there is limited information about their implementation in inflammation therapies. This study aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activities of HA and the influence of its molecular weight. MAIN METHODS Male C57BL/6 J mice were stimulated by 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene to induce AD-like symptoms and immune response. The skin lesions and histopathological change, as well as levels of inflammatory factors were evaluated. RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages were treated with lipopolysaccharides (LPS) to induce inflammation. NO, IL-6, and TNF-α levels were detected through ELISA kits. KEY FINDINGS DNFB challenge induced mice AD symptoms including epidermal thickening, mast cell infiltration, Th2/Th1 immune response, skin lesions IL-4 and IFN-γ, and serum IgE elevation. HA treatment ameliorated such symptoms through the inhibition of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. LPS induction stimulated the secretion of NO, IL-6, and TNF-α in RAW 264.7 cells, while HA pre-treatment reduced the concentration of the cytokines in cell supernatants. SIGNIFICANCE These findings give clear insight into the interaction between HA and inflammatory response, which can help guiding the utilization of HA in the AD therapies.
