Recent advances in immunomodulators for atopic dermatitis.
Current Opinion in Pediatrics 2023 December 2
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Conventional treatments of atopic dermatitis have been inadequate, especially in patients with moderate-to-severe disease.
RECENT FINDINGS: In the past 5 years, four immunomodulators have been approved for the treatment of atopic dermatitis in children. These include dupilumab, ruxolitinib, upadacitinib, and abrocitinib. The review summarizes the pivotal phase 3 trials of these medications.
SUMMARY: The newer immunomodulators have transformed the treatment of atopic dermatitis, particularly in patients with moderate-to-severe disease. Dupilumab targets IL-4 and IL-13, which are the main causes of allergic inflammation, resulting in great efficacy and few side effects. Upadacitinib and abrocitinib are alternative systemic medications for adolescents who have failed or are unable to tolerate dupilumab. Ruxolitinib cream is the latest addition to the current topical therapy. It is indicated for children 12 years and older with mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis. Further studies are needed to confirm its safety and efficacy for younger children and for patients with more severe disease.
