PG - 1037-1043 LID - 10.2147/CCID.S267217 [doi] AB - Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that greatly impacts patient quality of life. Type 2 cytokine interleukin (IL)-13 is integral to the pathogenesis of AD. Tralokinumab is a fully human IgG4 monoclonal antibody that specifically targets IL-13, preventing downstream signaling of inflammatory pathways that may contribute to AD. Tralokinumab was US Food and Drug administration (FDA) recently approved for the treatment of moderate to severe AD on December 28, 2021. In our review, we will explore the efficacy and adverse effects (AEs) of tralokinumab for the treatment of patients with moderate to severe AD. A PubMed search for key articles on the emerging clinical data of tralokinumab was performed. Six randomized controlled trials of tralokinumab identified improvements in disease severity measures, including Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) scores and Eczema Area Severity Index 75 (EASI75) scores. Four of these studies demonstrated improvements in quality of life measures with tralokinumab, including pruritus scores, sleep interference scores, Dermatology Life Quality Index, SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD), Patient Oriented Eczema Measure, and The Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36v2) scores. One study identified a similar immune response in patients taking tralokinumab to those taking the Tdap and meningococcal vaccines. Upper respiratory infection, conjunctivitis, and headaches were the most common adverse events. The varying criteria to assess changes in AD disease severity across different studies is a limitation of this review. Tralokinumab is another promising biologic option for the treatment of moderate to severe AD, which may reduce disease burden and improve patient quality of life. CI - (c) 2022 Kelly et al.
