Abstract
BACKGROUND Prurigo nodularis (PN) is a chronic neuroimmune skin disease characterized by bilaterally distributed pruritic hyperkeratotic nodules on extremities and trunk. Neuroimmune dysregulation and chronic scratching are believed to both induce and maintain the characteristic lesions. OBJECTIVES This study sought to provide a comprehensive view of the molecular pathogenesis of PN at the single-cell level to identify and outline key pathologic processes and the cell types involved. Features that distinguish PN skin from the skin of patients with atopic dermatitis were of particular interest. We further aimed to determine the impact of the IL31RA antagonist, nemolizumab, and its specificity at the single-cell level. METHODS Single-cell RNA-sequencing of skin from 15 healthy donors and nonlesional and lesional skin from 6 patients each with PN and atopic dermatitis, combined with spatial-sequencing using the 10x Visium platform. Integration with bulk RNA-sequencing data from patients treated with nemolizumab. RESULTS This study demonstrates that PN is an inflammatory skin disease characterized by both keratinocyte proliferation and activation of profibrotic responses. This study also demonstrates that the COL11A1+ fibroblast subset is a major contributor to fibrosis and is predominantly found in the papillary dermis of PN skin. Activation of fibrotic responses is the main distinguishing feature between PN and atopic dermatitis skin. This study further shows the broad effect of nemolizumab on PN cell types, with a prominent effect driving COL11A1+ fibroblast and keratinocyte responses toward normal. CONCLUSIONS This study provides a high-resolution characterization of the cell types and cellular processes activated in PN skin, establishing PN as a chronic fibrotic inflammatory skin disease. It further demonstrates the broad effect of nemolizumab on pathological processes in PN skin.

Abstract
Dupilumab was first approved for the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD) and blocks the signaling of interleukin (IL)-4 and -13. Several other chronic skin conditions share mechanistic overlaps with AD in their pathophysiology, i.e., are linked to type 2 inflammation. Most recently, dupilumab was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for prurigo nodularis (PN). Given its relatively good safety profile, effective off-label use of dupilumab has been reported for a multitude of dermatologic diseases and several clinical trials for dermatologic skin conditions are currently ongoing. We conducted a systematic review of applications of dupilumab in dermatology other than AD and PN by searching the databases PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane Library as well as the clinical trial registry ClinicalTrials.gov. We found several reports for effective treatment of bullous autoimmune diseases, eczema, prurigo, alopecia areata, chronic spontaneous urticaria, Netherton syndrome and a variety of other chronic inflammatory skin diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prurigo nodularis (PN) is a chronic condition characterized by a papulonodular pruriginous eruption of unknown aetiology. Currently, there are no medications for PN that the United States Food and Drug Administration has approved, which leads to very variable practices in the prescription of off-label treatments. Treatment of PN is based on clinical experience rather than controlled trials. We present our case of generalized PN, in which we had a dramatic response with dupilumab.
CASE SUMMARY A 58-year-old female patient was admitted to our clinic with severe itchy, erythematous nodular lesions that were widespread all over her body, especially on the legs and back. It was learned that the patient's complaints started 4 years ago, and there was a significant increase in the lesions in the last period. Dermatological examination revealed diffuse firm erythematous excoriated nodular lesions all over the body. In the blood tests of the patient, serum Immunoglobulin E (IgE) was measured at 9330 IU/mL. The patient was diagnosed with generalized prurigo nodularis together with clinical and histopathological findings. Due to severe clinical findings and the presence of comorbidities, dupilumab treatment was planned for the patient. In the follow-up 4 mo later, it was observed that all nodular lesions healed with postinflammatory hypopigmentation. The IgE value decreased to 1500 IU/mL after 4 mo of dupilumab treatment.
CONCLUSION Dupilumab treatment stands out as an effective and safe systemic treatment agent among existing systemic treatments.

Abstract
Background Conventional treatment techniques have limited efficacy and more side effects in the treatment of prurigo nodularis. The better alternative treatment option for better outcomes of the disease is dupilumab. Objective The objective of this study was to systematically review dupilumab-related treatment outcomes in prurigo nodularis. Methods Several databases like Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane library were searched for data acquisition on October 8, 2022. Based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines, 24 publications were included in this study. Results After 4,12,16 and more than 16 weeks of dupilumab treatment, 8.3% (n=5/60), 34.4% (n=11/32), 3.6% (n=2/56), and 45.3% (n=29/64) of patients had complete remission, respectively. In addition, 85.0% (n=51/60), 59.4% (n=19/32), 83.9% (n=47/56), and 43.8% (n=28/64) had partial remission, respectively. Moreover, 6.7% (n=4/60), 6.3% (n=2/32), 12.5% (n=7/56), and 10.9% (n=7/64) showed no remission, respectively, and significant reduction of numeric rating scale itch intensity (from 9.0 to 4.9, 2.1, 2.8, 0.9) was attained. There were no serious adverse events observed during treatment, but the most common event observed was conjunctivitis (12.6%, n=15/119). Conclusions Dupilumab has definite effectiveness and safety in prurigo nodularis treatment. Systematic review registration https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO, identifier (CRD42022365802).

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To report current knowledge on the different clinical phenotypes of adult atopic dermatitis. Possible therapeutic intervention in relation to phenotype is also evaluated. RECENT FINDINGS Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting up to 10% of adults. It can manifest with different clinical phenotypes, causing diagnostic difficulties. Long-term is often required and systemic drugs are needed for moderate-to-severe forms. However, few drugs are registered for atopic dermatitis in many countries. Furthermore, limited data exist regarding the treatment in relation to individual clinical phenotypes. SUMMARY Currently, the most relevant data are those for cyclosporine, alitretinoin, and dupilumab. Cyclosporine and dupilumab showed to be effective in the treatment of atopic dermatitis, although in trials and real-life experiences the different phenotypes treated are usually not reported. However, cyclosporine appears to be effective in prurigo nodularis. Alitretinoin is reported to be particularly efficacious for atopic dermatitis of the hands, while it is ineffective for other locations of the disease. Dupilumab demonstrated its efficacy in prurigo nodularis and nummular eczema phenotypes of atopic dermatitis; moreover, especially in elderly patients, its effectiveness seems to be faster if the folds of the limbs are involved.

Abstract
Dupilumab has demonstrated a great reduction on chronic pruritus that is the hallmark of atopic dermatitis (AD). Underscoring relevant pathogenesis similarities emerging from AD, chronic idiopathic pruritus (CIP) and chronic prurigo (CP), several authors suggested the beneficial role of dupilumab in these conditions. The evidence on this subject is limited with no precise data available. In this study, we carried out a systematic literature review in order to evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab on both pruritus and skin manifestations in the two largest retrospective cohorts of patients with CP and CIP and tried to identify potential response predictors. Electronic searches were conducted on 4 databases. Our primary outcome was the improvement in pruritus measured by a reduction in patient's reported numerical rating scale of itch (NRSI) by > 4. Secondary outcomes included: proportion of patients with complete response at the end of treatment, reduction in the number of lesions by the Investigator Global Assessment (IGA), improvement in numerical rating scale of sleep (NRSS), improvement in quality of life measured by the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), time until patient perceived any improvement (Time-First) and time until patient reported absence of pruritus (Time-Final). Descriptive statistics were calculated for each demographic and clinical variable. Univariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to explore association between response to dupilumab and potential predictive factors. We included 25 articles in the analysis, counting a total of 153 patients. Based on CP patients' cohort (n=132), the mean NRSI at baseline was 8.79 ±0.86 and the NRSI final was 2.32 ±1.27. The mean time to first improvement was 5.18 ±3.13 weeks, while the time to complete improvement of pruritus (Time-final) was 13.6 ±12.0 weeks. Ninety patients out of 109 (83%) noticed improvement in pruritus before 4 weeks of dupilumab therapy. At the end of treatment, 18 patients out of 126 (14%) had a complete remission of pruritus and 110 patients out of 123 (89%) had a reduction of NRSI > 4. The reduction in NRSI was significantly greater in patients improving before 4 weeks of treatment (6.57 ±1.71) compared to patients improving in more than 4 weeks (5.49 ±1.39, p<0.001). Patients with history of AD and those who have been previously treated with cyclosporine or methotrexate had a significantly lower reduction in NRSI (e.g. 6.05 ±1.34 vs 7.08 ±1.90 p<0.01 for non-associated AD patients). Based on CIP patient's cohort (n=21), the mean NRSI at baseline was 8.33 ±0.80 and the NRSI final was 0.95 ±0.59. The mean time to first improvement was 2 ±0 weeks, while the time to complete improvement (Time-final) was 14.6 ±10 weeks. At the end of treatment, 3 patients out of 21 (14%) had a complete remission of pruritus and 100% of patients had a reduction of NRSI > 4. No serious treatment-emergent adverse events were reported. The most common adverse event was mild conjunctivitis (13 cases). We highlight the importance of one early sign of improvement as predictor of the future response to dupilumab: the improvement before 4 weeks of treatment that leads significantly to a greater final reduction in NRSI. Furthermore, patients with the presence or history of atopy appear to be less responsive to dupilumab than non-atopic patients and develop more side effects, in particular conjunctivitis.

Abstract
Prurigo nodularis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease consisting of severely pruritic nodules that can be very debilitating for patients. The basis of this skin condition is immunological dysregulation and neural amplification, driven by T-lymphocytes, mast cells, eosinophilic granulocytes, macrophages, and cytokines mediating itchy processes. Further complicating this already taxing diagnosis is the lack of approved treatment and consensus on management; although there are off-label treatments utilized as therapy. Immunomodulators are the cornerstone of treatment for PN, and additional novel therapies targeting key players in the immunological cascade are currently undergoing investigation. In this review, we will highlight targets of the immune cascade and explore current immunomodulating treatments as well as immunotherapies on the horizon for the management of prurigo nodularis.

Abstract
Prurigo nodularis (PN) is an understudied, chronic inflammatory skin disease that disproportionately affects African Americans and presents with intensely pruritic nodules of unknown etiology. To better characterize the immune dysregulation in PN, PBMCs and skin biopsies were obtained from patients with PN and healthy subjects (majority African American) matched by age, race, and sex. Flow cytometric analysis of functional T-cell response comparing patients with PN with healthy subjects identified increased γδT cells (CD3+CD4-CD8-γδTCR+) and Vδ2+ γδT enrichment. Activated T cells demonstrated uniquely increased IL-22 cytokine expression in patients with PN compared with healthy controls. CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were identified as the source of increased circulating IL-22. Consistent with these findings, RNA sequencing of lesional PN skin compared with nonlesional PN skin and biopsy site‒matched control skin demonstrated robust upregulation of T helper (Th) 22‒related genes and signaling networks implicated in impaired epidermal differentiation. Th22‒related cytokine upregulation remained significant, with stratifications by race and biopsy site. Importantly, the expression of the IL-22 receptors IL22RA1 and IL22RA2 was significantly elevated in lesional PN skin. These results indicate that both systemic and cutaneous immune responses in patients with PN are skewed toward a Th22/IL-22 profile. PN may benefit from immunomodulatory therapies directed at Th22‒mediated inflammation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Prurigo nodularis (PN) or chronic prurigo of nodular type (CNPG) is a subtype of chronic prurigo with severe pruritus and neuroimmune underlying pathophysiology occurring in a plethora of dermatological, systemic, neurologic, and psychiatric conditions. AREAS COVERED We review the increasing repertoire of biologics in the treatment of CNPG focusing on those targeting interleukins 4, 13, 31, oncostatin M and IgE. Presented information is based on a database research on current clinical trials (clinicaltrials.gov, European Clinical Trials Database (EudraCT), US clinical trial registry ICH-GCP) and a PubMed search for latest publications conducted with the combinations of the terms 'chronic prurigo,' 'prurigo nodularis,' 'pathophysiology,' 'treatment,' 'therapy', and 'biologics.' EXPERT OPINION CNPG gets more and more attention as new therapeutic targets have been revealed in recent years, thus allowing the use of targeted approaches. The off-label advent of dupilumab offered advanced insight into the pathogenesis of CNPG and showed an impressive relief of pruritus in the vast majority of patients. New therapies including biologics (e.g. nemolizumab, tralokinumab, lebrikizumab), small molecules (e.g. neurokinin-1 receptor antagonists, janus kinase inhibitors) as well as mu-opioid receptor antagonists and nalbuphine, a μ-antagonist/κ-agonist, are in the pipeline and offer new hope for an improved future patient care.

Abstract
Type 2 immunity, illustrated by T helper 2 lymphocytes (Th2) and downstream cytokines (IL-4, IL-13, IL-31) as well as group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2), is important in host defense and wound healing.1 The hallmark of type 2 inflammation is eosinophilia and/or high IgE counts and is best recognized in atopic diathesis. Persistent eosinophilia, such as seen in hypereosinophilic syndromes, leads to fibrosis and hence therapeutic Type 2 inhibition in fibrotic diseases is of high interest. Furthermore, as demonstrated in cutaneous T cell lymphoma, advanced disease is characterized by Th1 to Th2 switch allowing cancer progression and immunosuppression. Development of targeted monoclonal antibodies against IL-4Rα (eg, dupilumab) led to a paradigm shift for the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD) and stimulated research to better understand the role of Type 2 inflammation in other skin conditions. In this review, we summarize up to date knowledge on the role of Type 2 inflammation in skin diseases other than AD and highlight whether the use of Type 2 targeted therapies has been documented or is being investigated in clinical trials. This manuscript reviews the role of Type 2 inflammation in dermatitis, neurodermatitis, IgE-mediated dermatoses (eg, bullous pemphigoid, chronic spontaneous urticaria), sclerodermoid conditions and skin neoplasms.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dupilumab represents a breakthrough in the management of atopic dermatitis (AD), thanks to its powerful T-helper (Th)2-mediated immunity modulating activity. It can reduce the atopic skin molecular signature and induce a significant decrease in the clinical signs and symptoms of AD patients. AREAS COVERED Th2 activation has been confirmed or suspected in skin diseases other than AD, and several reports about the treatment with dupilumab in these conditions have been published. In order to review the new indications of dupilumab in dermatology, we performed a search on PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Skin databases, and clinicaltrials.gov. EXPERT OPINION The analysis of available literature suggests that dupilumab may have a large application in dermatology, besides AD. Clinical trials are underway on some widespread disease (i.e. chronic urticaria, bullous pemphigoid, alopecia areata, or allergic contact dermatitis). The data are still partial, but they seem to indicate that dupilumab is efficacious and safe. On the other hand, the dupilumab use in some rare skin diseases remains only hypothetical or linked to few case reports. Dupilumab could have a prominent position in the therapeutic algorithm of chronic skin diseases that significantly affect the quality of life of patients, require long-term treatment, or lacking effective therapies.

Abstract
Prurigo nodularis (PN) is a debilitating chronic disease characterized by intense itching and excoriated hyperkeratotic nodules distributed on the trunk and extremities, especially the extensor surfaces. The pathophysiology includes complex and not yet well-understood mechanisms involving inflammation and dysregulation of the nervous system. Currently, there are no approved therapies by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the few treatment approaches for this condition are often ineffective and related to severe side effects. An emerging therapeutic option is dupilumab, a monoclonal antibody for adults and adolescents with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, that inhibits interleukin-4 receptor alpha subunit (IL4-Rα) and the signaling pathways activated by interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13. These cytokines seem to be involved in the development and perpetuation of PN and other type-2 inflammation diseases. Data on this topic are limited, but the emergent positive effects of this drug, reported in the literature and summarized in this review, suggest that it can be a safe and efficient therapy in PN.

Abstract
Herein we report on a 9-year-old girl with recalcitrant prurigo nodularis unresponsive to multiple standard treatments. She was started on dupilumab therapy with rapid improvement in pruritus within 2 weeks and near complete regression of lesions at 3 months. Dupilumab should be considered as an off-label treatment for refractory prurigo nodularis in children.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The IL-4/13 antagonist dupilumab was approved in 2017 as the first biologic for atopic dermatitis. Here, we comprehensively review compelling new data regarding dupilumab published following the approval. RECENT FINDINGS Daily clinical practice reports of dupilumab in atopic dermatitis are favorable and in line with the registration trials. Dupilumab does not appear to negatively affect pharmacokinetics of CYP450-metabolized drugs nor vaccination responses. Type 2 inflammation biomarkers in skin and serum are reduced following dupilumab treatment. Dupilumab increases the risk for conjunctivitis, especially with higher baseline atopic dermatitis severity and a history of conjunctivitis, but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. Favorable effects of dupilumab have been reported in treatment-recalcitrant hand eczema and prurigo nodularis cases; for allergic contact dermatitis and alopecia areata, there are conflicting responses to dupilumab, possible stemming from pathophysiological heterogeneity. SUMMARY Daily practice data support the continued use of dupilumab for atopic dermatitis. The only safety signal is an increased risk for conjunctivitis; mechanistic studies into dupilumab-associated conjunctivitis should lead to risk mitigation strategies. Prospective, controlled evaluations are needed for dupilumab in hand eczema and prurigo nodularis. A precision medicine-driven drug-development approach is essential to assess dupilumab for diseases with heterogeneous pathophysiologies, such as alopecia areata and allergic contact dermatitis.

Abstract
Background: Chronic pruritus is defined as itch lasting for greater than six weeks. Pruritus is a burdensome manifestation of several internal and external disease states with a significant impact on quality of life. Dupilumab has shown promise in treating a number of conditions including atopic dermatitis (AD) and asthma. Its success in reducing pruritus in AD has generated interest regarding its potential application in other pruritic conditions, such as chronic pruritus of unknown origin, uremic pruritus, and pruigo nodularis. Methods: In this retrospective analysis, we present a series of 20 recalcitrant pruritus patients seen at a tertiary center treated with off-label dupilumab at standard AD dosing. Results: Dupilumab was successful at reducing itch in all treated patients, leading to complete resolution in 12/20 patients and an overall mean NRSi reduction of 7.55. Dupilumab was well tolerated with no significant adverse effects. Conclusions: Our case series suggests dupilumab may be a safe and efficacious therapeutic option in several pruritic conditions and demonstrates the need for further studies to better ascertain its place in the pruritus treatment armamentarium.
