Data from the BroADen trial suggest that targeting STAT6 through protein degradation may offer a novel oral approach to controlling type 2 inflammation in atopic dermatitis.

Jared Gollob, MD, chief medical officer at Kymera Therapeutics, discusses early efficacy signals, the phase 2b study design, and the potential clinical role of KT-621, an oral STAT6 degrader, for moderate to severe atopic dermatitis.

Jared Gollob, MD, chief medical officer at Kymera Therapeutics, reviews phase 1b data for KT-621, an oral STAT6 degrader being evaluated for atopic dermatitis.

Apogee plans to initiate 3 phase 3 trials of zumilokibart in moderate to severe atopic dermatitis—ADventure 1, ADventure 2, and ADventure TCS—in the second half of 2026.

Among more than 1700 patients enrolled in the long-term extension study, the majority transitioned from a moderate to severe AD phenotype at baseline to a mild phenotype within 12 weeks, with that shift maintained through 2 years.

Phase 3 data presented at AAD 2026 showed that amlitelimab significantly improved skin clearance and disease severity in patients aged 12 years and older with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis.

Treatment discontinuations due to laboratory abnormalities were uncommon, occurring in 0.7% of patients at week 52 and remaining below 2% through week 140.

Biologics and oral JAK inhibitors are now strongly recommended for moderate to severe pediatric atopic dermatitis, signaling a shift toward earlier systemic treatment escalation.
