Interventions
Drug: Topical corticosteroids
Drug: Systemic dupilumab
Registration Number
NCT04878770

Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to investigate whether stratification of children with atopic dermatitis on the NMF biomarkers results in an improvement of effectiveness and efficiency in the use of systemic treatment (ciclosporin and dupilumab) in moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
EASIt = 0, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months and 6 months

Change from baseline Eczema Area and Severity Index (0-72) over the course of 6 months, with higher scores meaning worse outcomes.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
IGA 0 or IGA 1t = 0, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months and 6 months

Proportion of patients that achieved IGA 0 or IGA 1 (Investigator's Global Assessment) without the use of rescue medication.

POEMt = 0, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months and 6 months

Change from baseline in Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure questionnaire (0-28) over the course of 6 months, with higher scores meaning worse outcomes.

NRS-11 reduction for itch ≥ 4 pointst = 0, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months and 6 months

Proportion of patients that achieved a reduction ≥4 points on the Numeric Rating Scale-11 (0-10) for itch intensity.

EASI75t = 1 month, 2 months, 3 months and 6 months

Relative reduction of 75% from baseline EASI without the use of rescue medication

SCORADt = 0, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months and 6 months

Change from baseline in Scoring Atopic Dermatitis scale (0-103) over the course of 6 months, with higher scores meaning worse outcomes.

RECAPt = 0, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months and 6 months

Change from baseline in the Recap of Atopic Eczema questionnaire (0-28) over the course of 6 months, with higher scores meaning worse outcomes.
