Baricitinib Versus Azathioprine in Patients With Moderate-to-Severe Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic Dermatitis Clinical Trial

Official title:
Efficacy and Safety of Baricitinib Versus Azathioprine in Combination With Topical Corticosteroids For Patients With Moderate-to-Severe Atopic Dermatitis

Clinical Trial Summary

Atopic dermatitis, which is also known as atopic eczema, is a common inflammatory and chronic skin disease that is characterized by severe recurrent erythematous and pruritic lesions. Patients suffer from decreased quality of life and poor work productivity due to the disease complications like persistent scratching, skin pain, skin damage, sleep disturbances, and social/emotional distress. In the United States (US), the prevalence of adults with atopic dermatitis ranges from 5% to 10%. The mainstay treatment for atopic dermatitis is emollient and tropical corticosteroids which could be efficient for less severe atopic dermatitis patients but moderate to severe patients usually need additional therapies like phototherapy or systemic medications. It is revealed that Janus kinase signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK-STAT) pathway has a prominent role in the development and progression of atopic dermatitis. JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor, baricitinib is a new-class orally available drug that is approved for systemic treatment of adult patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. In the phase III clinical trial baricitinib 2-mg and 4-mg were shown efficient results as monotherapy of adult patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis who have an inadequate response to topical corticosteroids (TCS). Azathioprine is an immunosuppressant and antimetabolite agent interferes with the formation of lymphocytes, and suppresses prostaglandin synthesis, both of which are implicated in the inflammation associated with eczema. Azathioprine can be used (off-label) for moderate to severe atopic dermatitis patients. Multiple studies have demonstrated that azathioprine might be effective for patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. Azathioprine is usually prescribed when cyclosporine is either contraindicated or not effective. This trial will be conducted to test the hypothesis that baricitinib 4-mg daily in combination with TCS is superior to azathioprine 1.5-2.5 mg/kg a day in combination with TCS for moderate-to-severe AD at week 12 in terms of efficacy and safety.
