Abstract
Previous analyses have demonstrated the validity and reliability of the Atopic Dermatitis Control Tool (ADCT) in assessing patient-perceived control of atopic dermatitis (AD). We evaluated levels of agreement between patient and clinician assessments of AD control using the ADCT and clinician global assessment of control, respectively, providing further support to the measurement properties of the ADCT.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Atopic dermatitis (AD) can require long-term therapy. Few real-world studies have evaluated long-term effectiveness from the patients' perspective. The aim of this study was to evaluate patient-reported outcomes (PROs) during long-term dupilumab treatment. METHODS Adults with moderate-to-severe AD who initiated dupilumab through the US manufacturer patient support program and participated in RELIEVE-AD (a prospective patient survey study with a 12-month follow-up) were recontacted 30-36 months post-initiation regardless of current dupilumab use. The online questionnaire consisted of PROs, including the Atopic Dermatitis Control Tool (ADCT), use of concomitant AD therapies, satisfaction with current therapy, global change in itch relative to before dupilumab initiation, non-itch skin symptoms (skin pain/soreness, hot/burning feeling, and sensitivity to touch), flares, Dermatology Life Quality Index, sleep problems, and the AD-specific Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire. RESULTS Of 698 patients who initiated dupilumab (baseline) and were recontacted, 425 completed the 30-36-month survey. Significant reductions from baseline were reported in concomitant AD therapy use (P < 0.05); 54.4% reported not using other AD medications vs. 12.8% at baseline. At 30-36 months, all results (non-itch skin symptoms, flares, sleep problems, health-related quality of life work/activity impairment, disease control, and treatment satisfaction) were similar to or incrementally better than the 12-month timepoint, with significant improvements vs. baseline (P < 0.001). Global change in itch was reported as "very much better" by 75.3% of respondents. Adequate disease control (score < 7 on ADCT) was reported by 80.7% of respondents, and 86.8% were satisfied with the treatment. CONCLUSIONS In clinical practice settings, patient-reported benefits of dupilumab were maintained in survey respondents during long-term treatment up to 36 months while the use of concomitant AD therapies reduced.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Itch associated with atopic dermatitis (AD) has a profoundly negative effect on patients of all ages. Therefore, itch is a main target for AD therapeutic approaches, and treatments are perceived as beneficial when they achieve an itch reduction. In the absence of a validated scale for children aged 6-11 years that is suitable for assessing itch intensity in clinical trial settings, the Worst Itch Scale was developed. METHODS Qualitative interviews, comprising concept elicitation and cognitive debriefing, were conducted to develop and evaluate the content validity of the Worst Itch Scale. Psychometric assessments used data from the LIBERTY AD PEDS phase 3 trial of dupilumab in patients aged 6-11 years with severe AD. These included test-retest reliability, construct validity, known-groups validity and responsiveness. Thresholds for clinically meaningful change were defined using anchor- and distribution-based methods. RESULTS The Worst Itch Scale consisted of two items asking about 'worst itching' experienced 'last night' and 'today'. Worst Itch Scale scores showed large, positive correlations with existing patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures of itch, and weaker correlations with clinician-reported outcome (ClinRO) measures assessing objective signs of AD. Improvements in Worst Itch Scale scores were highly correlated with improvements in other itch PROs and moderately correlated with improvements in ClinROs. The responder definition based on the primary anchor, a 1-point improvement in the Patient Global Impression of Disease, was 2.84. Supportive anchors produced response estimates ranging from 2.43 to 4.80 points. CONCLUSIONS The Worst Itch Scale is a fit-for-purpose (e.g. well-defined, reliable, responsive and valid) scale for evaluating worst itch intensity in children aged 6-11 years with severe AD. The within-patient threshold for defining a clinically meaningful response was a ≥ 3-4-point change in the Worst Itch Scale score. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT03345914.

Abstract
Background Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic gastric and gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA) is globally treated with chemotherapy plus trastuzumab. Novel therapeutic strategies strive to not only optimize efficacy, but also limit toxicities. In MAHOGANY cohort A, margetuximab, an Fc-engineered, anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody (mAb) was combined with retifanlimab, an anti-programmed cell death protein 1 mAb, in the first-line HER2-positive/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)-positive GEA. Patients and methods MAHOGANY cohort A part 1 is a single-arm trial to evaluate margetuximab plus retifanlimab in patients with HER2 immunohistochemistry 3+, PD-L1-positive (combined positive score ≥1%), and non-microsatellite instability-high tumors. Primary objectives for cohort A were safety/tolerability and the confirmed objective response rate (ORR). Results As of 3 August 2021, 43 patients were enrolled and received margetuximab/retifanlimab. Nine grade 3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were reported in eight (18.6%) patients and eight serious TRAEs in seven (16.3%) patients. There were no grade 4/5 TRAEs. Three patients discontinued margetuximab/retifanlimab because of immune-related adverse events. The ORR by independent assessment was 53% [21/40 (95% confidence interval (CI) 36.1-68.5)], with a median duration of response of 10.3 months (95% CI 4.6-not evaluable); disease control rate was 73% [29/40 (95% CI 56.1-85.4)]. The study sponsor discontinued the study in advance of the planned enrollment when it became apparent that the study design would no longer meet the requirements for drug approval because of recent advances in the treatment of GEA. Conclusions The chemotherapy-free regimen of combined margetuximab/retifanlimab as first-line treatment in double biomarker-selected patients demonstrated a favorable toxicity profile compared with historical outcomes using chemotherapy plus trastuzumab. The ORR observed in this study compares favorably versus ORR observed with other chemotherapy-free approaches. The margetuximab/retifanlimab regimen has a favorable toxicity profile versus historical chemotherapy-based regimens in GEA. The margetuximab/retifanlimab regimen as first-line therapy for GEA met the prespecified boundary for antitumor activity. The 53% ORR [21/40 (95% CI 36.1-68.5)] in the combined regimen compared favorably with other chemotherapy-free approaches. Median duration of response was 10.3 months (95% CI 4.57-not evaluable) and disease control rate was 73% [29/40 (95% CI 56.1-85.4)]. The study was discontinued for business reasons as chemotherapy-based regimens remain the dominant therapy for GEA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 inflammatory diseases often coexist in patients. Dupilumab targets type 2 inflammation and has demonstrated treatment benefits in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD), asthma, and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) with an acceptable safety profile. OBJECTIVE This post hoc analysis across five phase 3 studies in patients with moderate to severe AD or asthma, or severe CRSwNP, evaluated time of onset and duration of the treatment response. METHODS Patients received subcutaneous dupilumab 200/300 mg or placebo. Assessments included the Eczema Area and Severity Index, Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale, and Dermatology Life Quality Index in AD; pre-bronchodilator FEV1, daily morning peak expiratory flow, and symptom scores in asthma; and University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test, daily nasal congestion, and loss of smell scores in CRSwNP. RESULTS At week 2 after the initiation of dupilumab versus placebo, 67.8% versus 36.5% of AD patients achieved a clinically meaningful benefit (Eczema Area and Severity Index: 50% or greater improvement; Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale: 3 point or greater improvement; or Dermatology Life Quality Index: 4 point or greater improvement) (P < .001). Moreover, 61.6% versus 39.9% of asthma patients achieved improvements in pre-bronchodilator FEV1 of 100 mL or greater and 48.8% versus 26.3% achieved 200 mL or greater improvement (both P < .001); 33.2% versus 5.6% of CRSwNP patients regained a sense of smell (P < .001). Treatment effects further improved or were sustained to the end of treatment. CONCLUSIONS Clinically meaningful responses were achieved rapidly after the first dupilumab dose in AD, asthma, or CRSwNP and were sustained throughout treatment (see Video in this article's Online Repository at www.jaci-inpractice.org).

Abstract
Background An observer-reported outcome (ObsRO) measure assessing both symptom control and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in children with asthma younger than 6 years is lacking. The objective of this study was to evaluate the content validity of the Pediatric Asthma Questionnaire (PAQ), a newly developed 6-item ObsRO measure for caregivers of children aged 2–5 years diagnosed with asthma. Results In-depth, qualitative interviews were conducted with 15 parents or caregivers. The first part of the interview was an open-ended discussion whereby participants were asked to describe their observations of their child’s asthma symptoms and HRQoL impacts followed by a cognitive debriefing of a draft version of the PAQ. The most frequently reported symptoms were coughing (n = 15, 100%), wheezing (n = 14, 93%), and trouble breathing (n = 10, 67%). Overall, participants found the PAQ easy to complete and relevant to their child’s experience with asthma, with most reporting the instructions, response scales, and recall period for the items to be appropriate. The majority of participants (93%) believed they could accurately report on the items included in the PAQ based on their observations of their child’s asthma symptoms and impacts, or reliably get the information from the child’s teacher, school, or caregiver when their child was not in their presence. One item was modified based on feedback about the phrase “oral steroids” to clarify modes of administration. A few other minor changes were incorporated into the PAQ following suggestions from participants, including replacing the phrase “how often” with “how many days” in one of the items to improve clarity and overall consistency with the response options. Conclusion Qualitative data support the content validity of the PAQ as a fit-for-purpose and well-understood 6-item observer-reported outcome measure to evaluate both symptoms and asthma-specific HRQoL impacts experienced by pediatric asthma patients aged 2–5 years for use in clinical and real-world studies.

Abstract
Introduction Dupilumab was initially approved in 2017 as the first biologic therapy for atopic dermatitis (AD). We characterized adults with AD initiating dupilumab in a real-world setting in the USA/Canada. Methods PROSE is an ongoing, longitudinal, prospective, observational, multicenter registry of patients with AD initiating dupilumab per country-specific prescribing information. We report baseline data (day of first dupilumab injection) for patients enrolled from April 2018 through July 2019. Results Among 315 patients (mean age 42.5 years, 55.2% female), the median AD duration was 17.0 years; 65.4% reported a history of type 2 inflammatory comorbidities (e.g., allergic rhinitis, asthma), and 93.3% reported treatment(s) for AD in the previous year, including topical corticosteroids (90.8%), systemic corticosteroids (36.2%), and nonsteroidal systemic therapies (14.0%). In total, 89.2% had an Overall Disease Severity score of 3 (moderate) or 4 (severe). Other mean disease severity scores included the following: Eczema Area and Severity Index 16.9 (range 0–72), body surface area affected 26.8%, Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure 18.5 (range 0–28), Dermatology Life Quality Index 12.7 (range 0–30), and pruritus Numerical Rating Scale score 6.9 (range 0–10).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Refractory disease, flares, or infections in atopic dermatitis (AD) can lead to hospitalizations. OBJECTIVE To compare hospitalization rates among adults with moderate-to-severe AD treated with dupilumab versus control. METHODS Data from 7 randomized, placebo-controlled trials of dupilumab (300 mg every 2 weeks [q2w] and/or weekly [qw]; with or without topical corticosteroids) were analyzed. RESULTS Patients in the dupilumab 300 mg q2w, qw, and combined dupilumab (q2w and qw; n = 1,841) groups compared with patients in the control group (n = 1,091) had lower rates of all-cause hospitalizations (5.8, 2.7, and 3.8 events, respectively, vs 9.0 events per 100 patient-years [PY]; all P < .05 [49%, 71%, and 62% risk reduction, respectively]); AD-related hospitalizations (2.0, 0.4, 1.0 events vs 4.1 events per 100 PY; P < .05 for qw and dupilumab combined [91% and 79% risk reduction, respectively]); as well as reduced overall duration of AD-related hospitalization (10.9, 7.3, and 8.6 d vs 38.9 d per 100 PY). CONCLUSIONS Among adults with moderate-to-severe AD, treatment with dupilumab versus control was associated with significant reductions in all-cause and AD-related hospitalization rates, and shorter duration of AD-related hospitalization.

Abstract
PURPOSE Multiple biologics are available for moderate to severe asthma. Given the important relationship between patient engagement in healthcare decision-making and health outcomes, patient preference is an increasingly important consideration. This study elicited patients' preferences for attributes of biologic therapies for moderate to severe asthma. PATIENT AND METHODS A discrete choice experiment (DCE) questionnaire was designed to collect data from an existing survey panel of adults with moderate to severe asthma in the United States. Patients were asked to select their preferred hypothetical treatment from profiles with varying attributes related to efficacy, safety, and administration convenience. Conditional logit regression models were used to quantify patient preferences. RESULTS Of 301 eligible patients who completed the survey, the mean age was 46.7±15.1 years and 71.8% were female. Patients had asthma for 22.5±16.3 years on average, and most (97.3%) had experienced ≥1 asthma attack in the past 12 months. Among treatment attributes examined, patients most valued the absence of a black box warning for the risk of a life-threatening allergic reaction, effectiveness of reducing severe asthma exacerbations, and improvement in lung function (all p < 0.001). Home administration setting for subcutaneous injections (vs doctor's office/clinic) (p = 0.009) and ability of a biologic to treat additional chronic condition(s) (p < 0.05) were also considered important. Dosing frequency and type of injection device were not significant factors. CONCLUSION Patients with moderate to severe asthma valued efficacy and safety over convenience attributes when selecting biologic treatments. Awareness of these preferences can facilitate patient-physician shared decision-making when managing moderate to severe asthma in clinical practice.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the difference of methylation of circRNA related m6A in early inflammation of silicosis and to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism of circRNA involved in the process of silicosis. Methods: The activation markers of macrophages were detected by Western blotting (WB) in THP-1-derived macrophages. The cell viability was detected with CCK8, by which the stimulation concentration and time of silica were determined. The methylation of total RNA was determined by colorimetry, and the expression of RNA m6A methylase, demethylase and reading protein were detected by Western blotting in mouse model of silicosis. The differential expression of m6A modified circRNA in lung tissues form silicosis and control mice was obtained through Arraystar m6A circRNA epigenetic transcriptome Chip and verified by RT-PCR. Results: The concentration of SiO(2) at 50 μg/cm(2) had the most significant effect on the activation markers and activity of macrophages. Compared with the control group, SiO(2) increased the total RNA m6A level of macrophages, and there were significant differences in the expression of methylase METTL3 and reading protein YTDHF3. High throughput sequencing analysis showed that compared with the control group, the methylation levels of 132 circRNA m6A in the lung of silicosis model mice were increased, while the methylation levels of 296 circRNA m6A were decreased, and then the target circSLC2A13 was screened based on the basic expression. Further verification showed that SiO(2) significantly increased the expression of circSLC2A13 and m6A modification in macrophages. Conclusion: The methylation of circRNA m6A is involved in the activation of macrophages in early inflammation of silicosis.

Abstract
Introduction Previous drug survival studies of dupilumab in atopic dermatitis (AD) show that many patients continue treatment through 1 year, suggesting that patients experience clinically relevant benefits with long-term treatment. Methods This post hoc analysis included data through week 100 from 391 adult patients from the dupilumab open-label extension (OLE) study who had not achieved the endpoints of at least 75% improvement from baseline in the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI-75) or an Investigator’s Global Assessment (IGA) score of 0 or 1 with short-term (16 weeks, 300 mg qw or q2w) dupilumab treatment in the parent SOLO 1 or 2 studies. All patients received dupilumab 300 mg qw in the OLE study, irrespective of whether they received qw or 2qw dosing in the parent study. Results Among those who had not achieved EASI-75 or IGA 0/1 during the 16-week parent study, the proportion of patients achieving EASI-75 by week 100 was 91%. The proportion achieving IGA 0 or 1 at week 100 was 45% for patients initially on q2w week dosing and 49% for those on initial qw dosing. Conclusion Long-term dupilumab treatment may be associated with improvement in AD in patients with suboptimal responses during the initial 16 weeks of treatment.

Abstract
Optimal management of atopic dermatitis requires a comprehensive assessment of response to treatment in order to inform therapeutic decisions. In a realworld setting, successful response to atopic dermatitis treatment is measured by sustained improvements in signs, symptoms, and quality of life. Post-hoc analyses of a 1-year, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial (NCT02260986) of dupilumab with concomitant topical corticosteroids in 421 adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (of whom 315/106 received placebo/dupilumab (of whom 315 received placebo and 106 received dupilumab) was performed to assess the proportion of responders to dupilumab through a multidimensional composite endpoint. At 6-months, 80.2% of dupilumab-treated vs 40.0% placebo patients (p < 0.0001) achieved improvement in signs (Eczema Area and Severity Index ≤ 7), symptoms (worst itch score ≤ 4), or quality of life (Dermatology Life Quality Index ≤5), representative of minimal/clear atopic dermatitis. All 3 endpoints, indicative of no/minimal atopic dermatitis, were achieved by 44.3% of dupilumab-treated vs 10.2% placebo patients (p < 0.0001) and sustained through 1 year. Dupilumab treatment provided sustained clinically meaningful improvement in signs, symptoms, and quality of life in adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis.

Abstract
Introduction Atopic dermatitis (AD) can have a profound negative impact on the quality of life (QoL) of patients. We analyzed the long-term changes in AD symptoms, QoL, and patient assessment of treatment effect in adults with moderate-to-severe AD treated for 2 years with dupilumab.
Methods LIBERTY AD OLE (NCT01949311) is a multicenter, open-label extension (OLE) study in adults with moderate-to-severe AD who previously participated in dupilumab clinical trials (parent studies). Patients received dupilumab 300 mg weekly. Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM), Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), EQ-5D-3L, and the Patient Global Assessment of Treatment Effect (PGATE) were assessed at weeks 48 and 100. Results A total of 2677 patients were included in the OLE, and 1028 completed week 100. By weeks 48 and 100, 94.1% and 95.6% of patients achieved a ≥ 4-point change in POEM from the parent study baseline (PSBL), respectively, and 93.3% and 93.4% of patients had achieved a ≥ 4-point change in DLQI from PSBL, respectively. At week 100, 35.1% of patients had a POEM score ≤ 2 (AD clear/almost clear) compared with 0.1% at PSBL, and 49.9% had a DLQI score of 0 or 1 (no effect at all on patient’s life) compared with 1.5% at PSBL. At week 100, 74.5–97.3% of patients reported no effect of AD on the individual EQ-5D-3L domains, and 93.8% rated the effect of dupilumab treatment as “excellent,” “very good,” or “good” according to PGATE. Conclusion In adults with moderate-to-severe AD, dupilumab treatment over 2 years resulted in sustained improvements in patient-reported symptoms and QoL and a favorable patient perception of treatment effect.

Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13555-021-00630-9. Atopic dermatitis is a common skin disease that causes scaly, itchy skin. It can have a profoundly negative effect on a patient’s quality of life (QoL). In short-term clinical trials, dupilumab treatment resulted in significant improvements in signs and symptoms of atopic dermatitis, and in the QoL reported by patients, together with acceptable safety. In this study, adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis who had completed one of the short-term clinical trials continued dupilumab treatment, including those who had taken placebo. This study allowed researchers to continue to evaluate how dupilumab worked in the long term, including its impact on patient-reported outcomes, which measure the success of treatment from the patient’s own perspective. The results were evaluated at approximately 1 and 2 years of this open-label extension study and were compared with the period just before the patient was first treated with dupilumab so that the effect of dupilumab could be seen. At approximately 1 and 2 years, most patients had achieved clinically meaningful improvements in two measures: Patient Oriented Eczema Measure, a tool used by patients to self-report the severity of their symptoms, and Dermatology Life Quality Index, which allows patients to report the effect of the disease on their QoL. Additionally, in this open-label extension study, most patients described their experience of being treated with dupilumab as “excellent,” “very good,” or “good” using the Patient Global Assessment of Treatment Effect questionnaire. Dupilumab treatment resulted in sustained improvements in atopic dermatitis and was regarded favorably by patients.
