Longer-term safety and efficacy of baricitinib for atopic dermatitis in pediatric patients 2 to <18 years old: a randomized clinical trial of extended treatment to 3.6 years

Background Baricitinib, an oral selective Janus kinase inhibitor, improved clinical signs and symptoms of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) at week 16 in the phase 3 pediatric study BREEZE-AD-PEDS.Objective To assess longer-term efficacy and safety of baricitinib in pediatric patients aged 2...

description Background Baricitinib, an oral selective Janus kinase inhibitor, improved clinical signs and symptoms of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) at week 16 in the phase 3 pediatric study BREEZE-AD-PEDS.Objective To assess longer-term efficacy and safety of baricitinib in pediatric patients aged 2 to <18 years.Methods In BREEZE-AD-PEDS long-term extension, responders and partial responders (validated Investigator Global Assessment-Atopic Dermatitis [vIGA-AD®] 0/1/2) at Week 16 remained on double-blind treatment to which they were randomized (placebo, baricitinib [1-mg equivalent, 2-mg equivalent, or 4-mg equivalent); non-responders (vIGA-AD 3 or 4) at Week 16 transitioned to open-label baricitinib 4-mg equivalent. Safety was summarized for all randomized patients who received ≥1 dose of study treatment.Results In total 467 patients received baricitinib for 750.7 patient-years. Proportion of responders/partial responders (at Week 16) who achieved vIGA-AD 0/1 at Week 52 was greater for baricitinib 4-mg equivalent (56.8%) versus all other treatment groups (42.2%, 47.7%, and 39.7% for 2-mg equivalent, 1-mg equivalent, and placebo, respectively). Most treatment-emergent adverse events were mild/moderate in severity. No deaths, pulmonary emboli, deep vein thromboses or arterial thrombotic events, major adverse cardiovascular events, malignancies, tuberculosis events, or gastrointestinal perforations were reported.Conclusions Baricitinib demonstrated sustained long-term efficacy. No new safety signals were identified.Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03952559
