Resumen:
Introduction Burdensome symptoms of atopic dermatitis include itch and sleep disturbance. This post hoc analysis reports the effect of baricitinib on itch and sleep disturbance during the first week of treatment in 3 phase 3 studies. Methods Patients were randomized 2:1:1:1 to once-daily placebo or baricitinib 1 mg, 2 mg, or 4 mg in the BREEZE-AD1 and -AD2 studies and 1:1:1 to once-daily placebo or baricitinib 2 mg or 4 mg in the BREEZE-AD7 study. Topical corticosteroids were only allowed in BREEZE-AD7. Patients completed the itch numerical rating scale and atopic dermatitis sleep scale (ADSS) items 1-3 using an electronic daily diary. Data were analyzed by study as least squares mean percent change from baseline in daily scores for the randomized patients. Mixed model repeated measures analysis was used to analyze change from baseline values. Results A total of 624, 615, and 329 patients were randomized in BREEZE-AD1, -AD2, and -AD7, respectively. Itch severity significantly improved with baricitinib 2 mg and 4 mg versus placebo starting at day 2 (1 day after first dose) in BREEZE-AD1 and -AD7 and at day 1 in BREEZE-AD2. Patients' ability to fall asleep (ADSS item 1) significantly improved with baricitinib 2 mg and 4 mg versus placebo starting at day 2 in all three studies. There were significant improvements in patients waking due to itch (ADSS item 2) with baricitinib 4 mg versus placebo starting at day 2 in all three studies. Patients' ability to return to sleep after being woken by itch (ADSS item 3) was significantly improved with baricitinib 4 mg versus placebo starting at day 2 in BREEZE-AD1 and -AD2 and at day 4 in BREEZE-AD7. Conclusion Rapid onset of action, typically 1 day after taking the first dose of baricitinib, was observed consistently for the burdensome symptoms of itch and sleep disturbance.
