Tofacitinib for managing granuloma formation after dermal filler injection: three case reports and literature review
CONCLUSION: This report emphasizes the effectiveness of JAK inhibitors in treating granulomas caused by filler injections. Recent advancements in understanding the underlying mechanisms of granulomatous reactions have paved the way for JAK inhibitors to be regarded as a promising treatment choice. However, further research is necessary to fully assess the safety and long-term effectiveness of using tofacitinib for granuloma treatment.PMID:38632962 | DOI:10.1080/09546634.2024.2338281 (Source: Journal of Dermatological Treatment)

Efficacy of risankizumab across subgroups in patients with active psoriatic arthritis: a post hoc integrated analysis of the phase 3 KEEPsAKE 1 and KEEPsAKE 2 randomized controlled trials
J Dermatolog Treat. 2024 Dec;35(1):2342383. doi: 10.1080/09546634.2024.2342383. Epub 2024 Apr 18.ABSTRACTIn the KEEPsAKE 1 (NCT03675308) and KEEPsAKE 2 (NCT03671148) phase 3 trials, risankizumab demonstrated greater efficacy compared with placebo in patients with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA). This post hoc integrated analysis evaluated achieving the following efficacy outcomes at weeks 24 and 52 by baseline demographics and clinical characteristics: ≥20%/50%/70% improvement in American College of Rheumatology response criteria (ACR20/50/70), ≥90% improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index, minimal disease act...

Real-world outcomes and drug survival of brodalumab: results from the German Psoriasis Registry PsoBest
J Dermatolog Treat. 2024 Dec;35(1):2340107. doi: 10.1080/09546634.2024.2340107. Epub 2024 Apr 18.ABSTRACTBrodalumab, a human monoclonal antibody that targets interleukin-17 receptor A (IL-17RA), is approved in the US and EU for treatment of adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Although brodalumab has demonstrated efficacy and safety vs placebo in clinical trials of patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA), real-world evidence is needed to evaluate long-term effectiveness and safety of brodalumab in routine care. This interim analysis of the German Psoriasis Registry PsoBest examined patient profile...

Methodological quality of systematic reviews on atopic dermatitis treatments: a cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: Methodological quality of SRs on AD treatments is unsatisfactory. Future reviewers should improve the above critical methodological aspects. Resources should be devolved into upscaling evidence synthesis infrastructure and improving critical appraisal skills of evidence users.PMID:38626923 | DOI:10.1080/09546634.2024.2343072 (Source: Journal of Dermatological Treatment)

Topical clindamycin for acne vulgaris: analysis of gastrointestinal events
Conclusions: According to pharmacovigilance data, the rate of GI adverse drug reactions with topical clindamycin-containing products was 0.000045% (64/141,084,533). Results from two retrospective medical record studies of patients with AV indicated that physicians prescribe topical clindamycin equally to patients with or without inflammatory bowel disease history, and that rates of pseudomembranous colitis in these patients were low. In 8 published pivotal clinical trials of topical clindamycin for AV, GI AEs were reported in 1.4% of participants. Limitations include under/inaccurate reporting of AEs or prescription data a...

A systematic review investigating the proportion of clinical images shared in prospective randomized controlled trials involving patients with atopic dermatitis and systemic pharmacotherapy
J Dermatolog Treat. 2024 Dec;35(1):2338280. doi: 10.1080/09546634.2024.2338280. Epub 2024 Apr 3.ABSTRACTFor individuals with atopic dermatitis (AD), interpreting scientific papers that present clinical outcomes including the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) and Investigators Global Assessment may be difficult. When compared to tabulated data and graphs, images from before and after treatment are often far more meaningful to these patients that ultimately will be candidates for the treatment. This systematic review focused on determining the frequency of clinical image sharing in AD research.Conducted in accordance wit...
