Abstract:

Background Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that can be particularly challenging to manage in older adults. Dupilumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting the interleukin-4 receptor alpha subunit, has shown promise in treating moderate to severe AD. However, its efficacy and safety in older adults with refractory AD have not been extensively studied. Objective The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dupilumab in treating older adults with refractory atopic dermatitis and to determine its potential as a therapeutic option in this demographic. Methods A retrospective, single-center study was conducted involving 73 older adults (aged >= 60 years) with moderate-to-severe AD. The Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI), Pruritus Numerical Rating Scales (P-NRS), and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) scores were recorded at baseline and at weeks 6 and 16. Adverse events (AEs) were also monitored. Results Following dupilumab treatment, a significant reduction in EASI, P-NRS, and DLQI scores was observed compared with baseline (p < 0.0001), indicating improved clinical symptoms and quality of life. Adverse events were mostly mild and did not lead to treatment discontinuation. Conclusions Dupilumab demonstrates significant efficacy and a favorable safety profile in managing refractory AD in older adults, suggesting it as a potential effective therapeutic option for this demographic.
