Acne Among Japanese Patients with Atopic Dermatitis Receiving Upadacitinib in the Phase 3 Rising Up Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Upadacitinib, an oral selective Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, is used to treat moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD). Acne is the most common treatment-emergent adverse event in patients with AD treated with upadacitinib. In this post hoc analysis, we describe the acne events in Japanese patients with AD who received upadacitinib during the Rising Up study.

Methods

In this phase 3, double-blind, 3-year trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of upadacitinib 15 mg or 30 mg in Japanese patients with moderate-to-severe AD, patients were randomized 1:1:1 to receive upadacitinib 15 mg, 30 mg, or placebo for up to 16 weeks. At week 16, placebo-treated patients were re-randomized 1:1 to receive upadacitinib 15 mg or 30 mg. The incidence, characteristics, and manag
