PG - 2670-2673 LID - 10.1080/09546634.2022.2067818 [doi] AB - Purpose: This study provides a comparative survival analysis between the only two drugs approved in Italy for the treatment of moderate-to-severe AD, cyclospoorin, and dupilumab.Materials and methods: A multicenter, retrospective study, was performed to assess drug survival (DS) analysis by comparing cyclosporin (CsA) and dupilumab in 247 AD adult patients. DS was determined through Kaplan Meier survival analysis. For each patient, data regarding age, sex, medical history, and, at every visit, concomitant medications or procedures, adverse events (AEs), and Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) were registered.Results: At week 72, 32/247 patients (13.96%) of the dupilumab group had discontinued the drug after a mean time of treatment of 35.27 +/- 11.61 weeks; therefore, the DS rate at W72 was 87.04%. The most frequent (13/32; 40.63%) reason of drug discontinuation was the achievement of complete disease remission after a mean duration of treatment of 42.28 +/- 2.02 weeks. In CsA-treated patients, DS rate at W72 was 21.05% (20/95 patients). Sixty-seven out of 95 (70.53%) patients had discontinued the drug, while 8/95 (8.42%) of them were lost to follow-up during the first 12 weeks of treatment. The causes of withdrawal among the patients who stopped CsA were AEs (28/67;41.79%).Conclusions: Dupilumab has a significant longer DS when compared to CsA.
