Safety of topical medications in the management of paediatric atopic dermatitis: An updated systematic review.
    British journal of clinical pharmacology, 2023, Volume: 89, Issue:7

    New topical agents have been developed for the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD) in recent years. This systematic review is intended to synthesize the clinical trial literature and concisely report the updated safety and adverse effects of topical medications used to treat atopic dermatitis in children.. A systematic search of Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov from inception to March 2022 was conducted for trials of topical medications used to treat AD in patients <18 years (PROSPERO #CRD42022315355). Included records were limited to English-language publications and studies of ≥3 weeks duration. Phase 1 studies and those that lacked separate paediatric safety reporting were excluded.. A total of 5005 records were screened; 75 records met inclusion criteria with 15 845 paediatric patients treated with tacrolimus, 12 851 treated with pimecrolimus, 3539 with topical corticosteroid (TCS), 700 with crisaborole and 202 with delgocitinib. Safety data was well reported in tacrolimus trials with the most frequently reported adverse events being burning sensation, pruritus and cutaneous infections. Two longitudinal cohort studies were included, one for tacrolimus and one for pimecrolimus, which found no significant increased risk of malignancy with topical calcineurin inhibitor (TCI) use in children. Skin atrophy was identified as an adverse event in TCS trials, which other medications did not. Systemic adverse events for the medications were largely common childhood ailments.. Data discussed here support the use of steroid-sparing medications (tacrolimus, pimecrolimus, crisaborole, delgocitinib) as safe options with minimal adverse events for managing paediatric AD, although a larger number of TCI studies reported burning and pruritus compared to TCS studies. TCS was the only medication class associated with reports of skin atrophy in this review. The tolerability of these adverse events should be considered when treating young children. This review was limited to English-language publications and the variable safety reporting of trial investigators. Many newer medications were not included due to pooled adult and paediatric safety data that did not meet inclusion criteria.

Pharmacological management of atopic dermatitis in the elderly.
    Expert opinion on pharmacotherapy, 2020, Volume: 21, Issue:7

    The prevalence of atopic dermatitis (AD) in geriatric populations of industrialized countries is currently estimated at 3-4% and continues to increase. AD is associated with significant morbidity, increased susceptibility to infection, and symptoms of pruritus and pain. Treatments may negatively affect elderly patients; thus, plans should be optimized for this population.. This review summarizes treatment options for AD in the elderly. A systematic review of the literature was conducted using the key terms atopic dermatitis, elderly, geriatric, systemic therapy, therapy, and topical therapy in PubMed. Searches yielded articles on skincare management and topical and systemic pharmacotherapies.. Proper use of moisturizer is crucial in all patients with AD. Topical corticosteroids are commonly prescribed; however, they carry an increased risk of adverse events such as skin atrophy. Systemic corticosteroids should be avoided in elderly patients due to questionable efficacy and increased adverse events. Topical calcineurin inhibitors and crisaborole are similarly efficacious with an excellent safety profile. Cyclosporine, azathioprine, methotrexate, and mycophenolate mofetil are systemic agents available for the treatment of refractory AD; however, insufficient data exist to indicate the superiority of any one agent. Dupilumab is a safe and efficacious injectable therapy in elderly patients.

Post Hoc Analyses of the Effect of Crisaborole Topical Ointment, 2% on Atopic Dermatitis: Associated Pruritus from Phase 1 and 2 Clinical Studies.
    Journal of drugs in dermatology : JDD, 2016, Volume: 15, Issue:2

    Two post hoc analyses assessed the antipruritic activity of crisaborole topical ointment, 2% (crisaborole; Anacor Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Palo Alto, CA), a first-in-class boron-based phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor in development for treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (AD).. Two pooled analyses included data from 4 studies evaluating crisaborole in AD (study 1, phase 1b, systemic exposure, safety, and pharmacokinetics [PK] under maximal-use conditions in children and adolescents; study 2, phase 2a, safety and PK in adolescents; study 3, phase 2a, efficacy and safety in adults; study 4, phase 2, efficacy and safety in adolescents). Pooled data from studies 1 and 2 included whole body assessments; studies 3 and 4 included target lesion assessments. Pruritus severity was evaluated using a 4-point rating scale (0=none to 3=severe). Efficacy assessments included percent change from baseline in pruritus severity scores at days 8 (first pooled assessment), 15, 22, and 29 (whole body assessments) or days 15 (first pooled assessment), 22, and 29 (target lesions). Paired t-tests comparing change from baseline against zero were used to calculate P values. Categorical shifts in pruritus severity were also assessed (no to mild pruritus, 0-1.5; moderate to severe pruritus, 2-3).. In the pooled analysis of studies 1 and 2 (N=57), the percent change from baseline in pruritus severity scores were 63.0% and 64.9% at days 8 and 29, respectively (P<0.001 for each). Similar results were observed in the pooled analysis of studies 3 and 4 (N=67). In both analyses, most patients had mild to no pruritus from the first time point assessed through the remainder of treatment.. Treatment with crisaborole topical ointment, 2% resulted in statistically significant reductions in pruritus severity at the first time point evaluated in both analyses. These findings provide preliminary evidence of the antipruritic activity of crisaborole topical ointment, 2%.

Efficacy and safety of crisaborole ointment in Chinese and Japanese patients aged ≥2 years with mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis.
    The Journal of dermatology, 2023, Volume: 50, Issue:7

    Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with a significant impact on the overall wellbeing of patients and their families. Crisaborole ointment, 2%, is a nonsteroidal phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor approved for the treatment of mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis in multiple countries. However, in the key pivotal trials, a low proportion of the overall patient population was Asian, therefore the safety and efficacy of crisaborole in the Asian population with atopic dermatitis remains unclear. CrisADe CLEAR was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, phase 3 study (NCT04360187) to assess the efficacy and safety of crisaborole ointment in Chinese and Japanese patients aged ≥2 years with mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis involving ≥5% treatable body surface area. Patients were randomly assigned 2:1 to receive crisaborole or vehicle twice daily for 28 days. The primary endpoint was percentage change from baseline in the Eczema Area and Severity Index total score at day 29. Additional endpoints were improvement and success per Investigator's Static Global Assessment score at day 29 and change from baseline on the Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale at week 4. Safety was assessed using rates of treatment emergent adverse events, serious adverse events, and clinically significant changes in vital signs and clinical laboratory parameters. Crisaborole-treated patients showed a significantly greater reduction versus vehicle in percentage change from baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index total score at day 29 (P = 0.0002). Response rates for achievement of Investigator's Static Global Assessment improvement and success at day 29 were significantly higher for patients treated with crisaborole versus vehicle (P = 0.0124 and P = 0.0078, respectively). Crisaborole-treated patients showed a significantly greater reduction versus vehicle in change from baseline on the Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale at week 4 (P = 0.0009). No new safety signals were identified. Treatment with crisaborole was effective and well tolerated in Chinese and Japanese patients with mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis.

Once-Daily Crisaborole Ointment, 2%, as a Long-Term Maintenance Treatment in Patients Aged ≥ 3 Months with Mild-to-Moderate Atopic Dermatitis: A 52-Week Clinical Study.
    American journal of clinical dermatology, 2023, Volume: 24, Issue:4

    Topical treatments for atopic dermatitis (AD) used reactively often fail to achieve lasting disease control; many of these therapies are associated with safety concerns that limit long-term use. Crisaborole ointment, 2%, is a nonsteroidal phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor for the treatment of mild-to-moderate AD that has potential as a long-term maintenance therapy.. The aim was to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of crisaborole once daily (QD) compared to vehicle QD as a maintenance therapy to reduce the incidence of flares in patients with AD who previously responded to crisaborole twice daily (BID).. CrisADe CONTROL was a randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, 52-week, phase III study of patients aged ≥ 3 months with mild-to-moderate AD involving ≥ 5% treatable body surface area. Eligible patients received crisaborole BID during an open-label run-in period of up to 8 weeks. Responders were randomly assigned in the double-blind maintenance period to receive either crisaborole QD or vehicle QD. Responders were defined as patients who achieved Investigator's Static Global Assessment (ISGA) success (ISGA score of 0 [clear] or 1 [almost clear] with a ≥ 2-grade improvement) and ≥ 50% improvement in Eczema Area and Severity Index total score (EASI-50) from baseline. Patients who experienced a flare (ISGA score ≥ 2) during the double-blind maintenance period switched to crisaborole BID for up to 12 weeks. During this period, patients were assessed every 4 weeks; if the flare resolved (ISGA score ≤ 1), patients resumed their assigned treatment. The primary endpoint was flare-free maintenance until onset of the first flare. Key secondary endpoints were number of flare-free days, number of flares, and maintenance of pruritus response until onset of the first flare. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events was also analyzed.. Overall, 497 patients entered the open-label run-in period with crisaborole BID, of which 270 patients were randomized into the 52-week double-blind maintenance period of the study. Of the 270 patients, 135 were randomly assigned to the crisaborole QD group and 135 were randomly assigned to the vehicle QD group. Median time of flare-free maintenance was longer for patients who received crisaborole versus vehicle (111 vs 30 days, respectively; p = 0.0034). The mean number of flare-free days was higher for patients who received crisaborole versus vehicle (234.0 vs 199.4 days, respectively; p = 0.0346). The mean number of flares was lower for patients who received crisaborole versus vehicle (0.95 vs 1.36, respectively; p = 0.0042). No clear trend was observed in maintenance of pruritus response between crisaborole- and vehicle-treated patients. Crisaborole was well tolerated, with no new or unexpected safety findings when used as maintenance treatment.. Crisaborole QD was effective and well tolerated for long-term maintenance treatment and flare reduction in adult and pediatric patients with mild-to-moderate AD.. ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04040192, 31 July 2019.. Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an immuno-inflammatory skin disease that can last a long time. It causes skin lesions and intense itching. Topical AD treatments used reactively often fail to control the disease over a long period of time. Many are associated with safety concerns that limit long-term use. Crisaborole ointment is a nonsteroidal treatment for the skin and is used to treat mild-to-moderate AD. Previous studies showed that using crisaborole twice daily was effective and had few side effects in patients with mild-to-moderate AD. This study evaluated how effective and safe long-term treatment with once-daily crisaborole was compared with an ointment with no drug (vehicle). The study included patients aged ≥ 3 months with mild-to-moderate AD whose AD improved after previous treatment with twice-daily crisaborole. This study was designed to investigate how much crisaborole reduced the incidence of AD flares over 52 weeks in these patients.The study included 270 patients whose AD had improved after treatment with twice-daily crisaborole. Of these patients, 135 were randomly assigned to receive crisaborole once a day and 135 to receive vehicle once a day. Patients who received crisaborole had a significantly longer time before experiencing AD flares than those who received vehicle. Crisaborole was well tolerated, and no new or unexpected side effects were found when used as a once-daily maintenance treatment for 52 weeks. These results indicate that once-daily treatment with crisaborole could be a potential long-term maintenance treatment option in children and adults with mild-to-moderate AD.

Improvement in disease severity and pruritus outcomes with crisaborole ointment, 2%, by baseline atopic dermatitis severity in children and adolescents with mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis.
    Pediatric dermatology, 2020, Volume: 37, Issue:6

    Crisaborole ointment, 2%, is a nonsteroidal phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor for the treatment of mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis (AD). This pooled post hoc analysis of two phase 3 trials (NCT02118766, NCT02118792) assessed improvement and time to improvement in Investigator's Static Global Assessment (ISGA) and Severity of Pruritus Scale (SPS) outcomes in pediatric patients with mild-to-moderate AD.. Patients aged ≥2 years were randomly assigned 2:1 to receive twice-daily crisaborole or vehicle for 28 days. Patients aged 2-17 years were pooled for this analysis. Proportions of patients and time to achieving ISGA success (clear [0] or almost clear [1] with ≥2-grade improvement from baseline), ISGA clear/almost clear, ≥1-grade improvement in ISGA, SPS success (SPS score ≤1 with ≥1-grade improvement), or ≥1-grade improvement in SPS score were analyzed and stratified by baseline ISGA.. At first postbaseline assessment (day 8), significantly higher proportions of crisaborole- than vehicle-treated patients achieved ISGA success, ISGA clear/almost clear, ≥1-grade ISGA improvement, SPS success, or ≥1-grade improvement in SPS regardless of baseline ISGA. Differences were significantly greater over time for all outcomes for patients with moderate baseline ISGA and numerically greater for those with mild baseline ISGA. Median times to ISGA and SPS outcomes were shorter for crisaborole versus vehicle.. Improvement in ISGA and SPS outcomes were observed with crisaborole in pediatric patients with mild-to-moderate baseline AD.

Examining the association between pruritus and quality of life in patients with atopic dermatitis treated with crisaborole.
    Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology : JEADV, 2019, Volume: 33, Issue:9

    Pruritus is a leading cause of reduced health-related quality of life (QoL) in atopic dermatitis (AD). Crisaborole ointment is a non-steroidal phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor for the treatment of mild-to-moderate AD. In identical Phase 3 studies (NCT02118766, NCT02118792), crisaborole reduced disease and pruritus severity versus vehicle.. Quantify the relationship between pruritus and QoL using data from these studies.. Patients aged ≥2 years were randomly assigned 2 : 1 to receive crisaborole:vehicle twice daily for 28 days. QoL was measured at baseline and day 29 using the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI; patients aged ≥16 years), the Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI; patients aged 2-15 years) and the Dermatitis Family Impact (DFI; caregivers of patients aged 2-17 years). Pruritus was measured using the Severity of Pruritus Scale (SPS), a 4-point scale from 0 ('no itching') to 3 ('bothersome itching/scratching that disturbs sleep'), and captured morning and evening via electronic diary. Data from crisaborole and vehicle arms were pooled for this analysis. A repeated-measures longitudinal model was used to estimate relationships between pruritus (SPS) and QoL (DLQI, CDLQI and DFI in separate analyses).. One thousand five hundred and twenty two patients received crisaborole or vehicle. A linearity assumption for the relationship between SPS and DLQI (n = 294), CDLQI (n = 1200), and DFI (n = 1293) was appropriate. For DLQI, SPS score of 0 was associated with 'no negative effect on patient QoL'; SPS score of 1 was associated with 'small effect on patient QoL'; SPS score of 2 was associated with 'moderate effect on patient QoL'; and SPS score of 3 was associated with 'very large effect on patient QoL'. The pattern of relationships between SPS and CDLQI and DFI was similar.. The relationships between SPS and DLQI, CDLQI and DFI substantiate the significant link between pruritus and patient/caregiver QoL in AD.

Efficacy and safety of crisaborole ointment, a novel, nonsteroidal phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor for the topical treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD) in children and adults.
    Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2016, Volume: 75, Issue:3

    Additional topical treatments for atopic dermatitis (AD) are needed that provide relief while minimizing risks.. We sought to assess the efficacy and safety of crisaborole ointment, a phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor, in two phase III AD studies (AD-301: NCT02118766; AD-302: NCT02118792).. Two identically designed, vehicle-controlled, double-blind studies enrolled and randomly assigned (2:1, crisaborole:vehicle) patients aged 2 years or older with an Investigator's Static Global Assessment (ISGA) score of mild or moderate for twice-daily application for 28 days. The primary end point was ISGA score at day 29 of clear (0)/almost clear (1) with 2-grade or greater improvement from baseline. Additional analyses included time to success in ISGA score, percentage of patients achieving clear/almost clear, reduction in severity of AD signs, and time to improvement in pruritus.. More crisaborole- than vehicle-treated patients achieved ISGA score success (clear/almost clear with ≥2-grade improvement; AD-301: 32.8% vs 25.4%, P = .038; AD-302: 31.4% vs 18.0%, P < .001), with a greater percentage with clear/almost clear (51.7% vs 40.6%, P = .005; 48.5% vs 29.7%, P < .001). Crisaborole-treated patients achieved success in ISGA score and improvement in pruritus earlier than those treated with vehicle (both P ≤ .001). Treatment-related adverse events were infrequent and mild to moderate in severity.. Short study duration was a limitation.. Crisaborole demonstrated a favorable safety profile and improvement in all measures of efficacy, including overall disease severity, pruritus, and other signs of AD.

Crisaborole efficacy in murine models of skin inflammation and Staphylococcus aureus infection.
    Experimental dermatology, 2023, Volume: 32, Issue:4

    Phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) is highly expressed in keratinocytes and immune cells and promotes pro-inflammatory responses upon activation. The activity of PDE4 has been attributed to various inflammatory conditions, leading to the development and approval of PDE4 inhibitors as host-directed therapeutics in humans. For example, the topical PDE4 inhibitor, crisaborole, is approved for the treatment of mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis and has shown efficacy in patients with psoriasis. However, the role of crisaborole in regulating the immunopathogenesis of inflammatory skin diseases and infection is not entirely known. Therefore, we evaluated the effects of crisaborole in multiple mouse models, including psoriasis-like dermatitis, AD-like skin inflammation with and without filaggrin mutations, and Staphylococcus aureus skin infection. We discovered that crisaborole dampens myeloid cells and itch in the skin during psoriasis-like dermatitis. Furthermore, crisaborole was effective in reducing skin inflammation in the context of filaggrin deficiency. Importantly, crisaborole reduced S. aureus skin colonization during AD-like skin inflammation. However, crisaborole was not efficacious in treating S. aureus skin infections, even as adjunctive therapy to antibiotics. Taken together, we found that crisaborole reduced itch during psoriasis-like dermatitis and decreased S. aureus skin colonization upon AD-like skin inflammation, which act as additional mechanisms by which crisaborole dampens the immunopathogenesis in mouse models of inflammatory skin diseases. Further examination is warranted to translate these preclinical findings to human disease.

Crisaborole Inhibits Itch and Pain by Preventing Neutrophil Infiltration in a Mouse Model of Atopic Dermatitis.
    Acta dermato-venereologica, 2023, 08-22, Volume: 103

    Crisaborole, a phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor, has been approved for the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis. Atopic dermatitis is often associated with increased pain. Using a mouse model, this study investigated whether crisaborole suppresses pain associated with atopic dermatitis and the potential mechanisms underlying it. The mouse model for atopic dermatitis was developed by repeatedly applying MC903. MC903-treated mice had increased spontaneous scratching (itch-related behaviour) and wiping behaviour (pain-related behaviour). Crisaborole was topically applied to the cheek skin of MC903-treated mice, and it reduced both itch- and pain-related behaviours in these mice. Immunofluorescence staining revealed that crisaborole reduced neutrophil infiltration and interaction of neutrophils with sensory neurones. Intradermal injection of S100A8/A9, proinflammatory neutrophil mediator, enhanced not only itch-related behaviours evoked by histamine or chloroquine, but also pain-related behaviours evoked by capsaicin. Calcium imaging of mouse dorsal root ganglion neurones revealed that pretreatment with S100A8/A9 significantly increased calcium responses to histamine and capsaicin, and the proportion of chloroquine-sensitive neurones. These findings suggest that the PDE4 inhibitor reduces itch and pain, in part by inhibiting infiltration of S100A8/A9-containing neutrophils in a mouse model of MC903-induced atopic dermatitis.
