Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common inflammatory skin disease with high prevalence in both children (15–30%) and adults (2–10%), but limited data are available for older people. Elderly patients form a challenging group, as multiple comorbidities, associated polypharmacy and failures with previous treatments are common. We performed a retrospective observational study on elderly (≥ 65 years) patients treated with dupilumab, monoclonal antibody to the shared alpha subunit of the interleukin-4 and -13 receptor approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe AD in adults.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common inflammatory skin disease with high prevalence in both children (15–30%) and adults (2–10%), but limited data are available for older people. Elderly patients form a challenging group, as multiple comorbidities, associated polypharmacy and failures with previous treatments are common. We performed a retrospective observational study on elderly (≥ 65 years) patients treated with dupilumab, monoclonal antibody to the shared alpha subunit of the interleukin-4 and -13 receptor approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe AD in adults.File in questo prodotto:
