Efficacy of Dupilumab on Different Phenotypes of Adult with Moderate-to-Severe Atopic Dermatitis in Taiwan: A Real-World Study.

ABSTRACT: To determine phenotype-related dupilumab response in adult patients with atopic dermatitis (AD), this multicenter, retrospective study included 111 adults with moderate-to-severe AD in Taiwan, with median age of 31.5 years (18-87) and 71 (64.0%) males. Patients received dupilumab 300 mg per two to three weeks up to 12 months. We found a significant improvement after 4 and 16 weeks of treatment in all patients for all the assessed scores, including eczema area and severity index (EASI) improvement ≥50% (EASI-50) and 75% (EASI-75), EASI reaching minimal clinically important difference (MCID), and Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) improvement ≥2. Importantly, prior to asthma, early AD onset and 3-week drug intervals were significantly associated with a high proportion of EASI-75 at month
