New study focuses on treatment, resources, and impact of atopic dermatitis
Washington -- A recent prospective study has shown that treatment of atopic dermatitis with tacrolimus ointment (Protopic, Fujisawa) produced clinical improvement and reduced healthcare resource use and improved patient and caregiver quality of life, said Mark Boguniewicz, M.D., professor, division of pediatric allergy-immunology, National Jewish Medical and Research Center, Denver, and University of Colorado School of Medicine.
The FDA approval, based on 36-week data from the phase 3 BRAVE-AA-PEDS trial, extends baricitinib access to patients as young as 12 years old with severe alopecia areata.
