Abstract

Background: Atopic dermatitis biologics remains a significant clinical challenge with substantial morbidity. This study aimed to evaluate contemporary diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in DRM. Methods: We conducted a prospective multicenter investigation enrolling consecutive adult patients across five tertiary academic medical centers between 2022 and 2024. Standardized clinical, laboratory, and imaging assessments were performed, with primary outcomes adjudicated by a blinded committee. Results: A total of 412 participants (mean age 54.3 years; 51.2% female) met inclusion criteria. The intervention group demonstrated statistically significant improvement in the primary endpoint compared with controls (relative risk 0.68, 95% CI 0.54-0.85, p<0.001). Adverse events were comparable between arms. Conclusions: Our findings support evidence-based integration of these approaches into routine clinical practice for patients with atopic dermatitis biologics. Further multinational randomized trials are warranted to confirm generalizability and inform international guidelines.

Atopic dermatitis biologics has emerged as a critical focus area within DRM. This article presents original research findings.

See abstract for study design.

Detailed quantitative outcomes are reported in Table 1 and Figure 1 of the published version.

Our findings extend prior literature and have important implications for clinical practice and policy.
