OX40-OX40L Inhibition for the Treatment of Atopic Dermatitis-Focus on Rocatinlimab and Amlitelimab.

ABSTRACT: Despite the recent emergence of targeted therapeutic options, there are still unmet needs concerning moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis treatment. This review aims to discuss the OX40-OX40L pathway as a therapeutic target for the treatment of atopic dermatitis. OX40 and OX40L are two checkpoint molecules that bind to potentiate pro-inflammatory T-cell responses that are pivotal to atopic dermatitis pathogenesis. Two OX40-OX40L inhibitors, rocatinlimab and amlitelimab, are being developed for the treatment of atopic dermatitis. Rocatinlimab, an anti-OX40 antibody, was evaluated in phase 2b, a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial. At week 16, rocatinlimab groups achieved a greater reduction in the EASI percentage change from the baseline (−48.3% to −61.1%) against the placebo (−15
