Molecular Signatures of Cutaneous Dupilumab Response
University of California, San Francisco
Summary
This study examines the effect of IL4RA blockade with dupilumab on the immune cells of atopic dermatitis skin lesions.
Description
This is a one-arm, open-label study to examine the effect of dupilumab. Dupilumab is a FDA-approved medication for the treatment of atopic dermatitis. This study will examine how dupilumab affects immune cells within atopic dermatitis skin lesions. Fifteen subjects with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis will be enrolled. Biopsy samples will be collected and undergo molecular profiling to correlate profiles with and to predict dupilumab treatment response.
