The MarketVue®: Dupixent-refractory atopic dermatitis market landscape report combines primary (KOL interviews and survey data) and secondary market research to empower strategic decision-making and provide a complete view of the market.
Every MarketVue® includes a disease overview, epidemiology (US and EU5), current treatment, unmet needs, pipeline and access and reimbursement chapter.
Dermatologists typically begin AD treatment with topical corticosteroids (TCS), then progress to Dupixent for uncontrolled, moderate-severe cases. For patients who are refractory to Dupixent (9% of moderate cases and 16% of severe cases), physicians turn to oral JAK inhibitors despite associated black box warnings, according to the analyst. Adbry, an IL-13 with a similar mechanism of action to Dupixent, was recently approved, however, interviewed dermatologists report that in their experience Adbry is not as effective as Dupixent.
Dermatologist, U.S.: 'If a patient had suboptimal response to Dupixent, I would explain that the tralokinumab has a similar mechanism, and people might not be against injection, but it’s not their favorite thing to do, putting all those factors together. Some patients may say, ‘I’d rather try a different medication with a different mechanism,’ and also, you know, it’s a pill. It’s kind of appealing to them, but then others will say, you know, ‘No problem, I’d rather stay with a biologic because that’s what the FDA recommends.'

Key takeaways from the report:
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by skin lesions and severe itching.Dermatologists typically begin AD treatment with topical corticosteroids (TCS), then progress to Dupixent for uncontrolled, moderate-severe cases. For patients who are refractory to Dupixent (9% of moderate cases and 16% of severe cases), physicians turn to oral JAK inhibitors despite associated black box warnings, according to the analyst. Adbry, an IL-13 with a similar mechanism of action to Dupixent, was recently approved, however, interviewed dermatologists report that in their experience Adbry is not as effective as Dupixent.
These post-Dupixent AD therapy options include:
- LEO Pharma’s IL-13 inhibitor Adbry (Tralokinumab)
- Pfizer’s JAK inhibitor Cibinqo (Abrocitinib)
- AbbVie’s JAK inhibitor Rinvoq (Upadacitinib)
The AD pipeline is full of promising new biologics in development, including:
- Eli Lilly & Co.’s IL-13 inhibitor - lebrikizumab
- Keymed Biosciences Co. Ltd.’s IL-4Rα inhibitor - CM310
- Galderma’s IL-31R inhibitor - nemolizumab
- Amgen/Kyowa’s OX40 inhibitor - rocatinlimab
