N2 - Introduction and Objectives: Tralokinumab—a biological that specifically targets interleukin-13—is one of the newer advanced systemic treatments for patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD). Although safety and efficacy have been shown in phase-III clinical trials, daily practice data are needed. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate 28-week safety and effectiveness, serum proteins and total IgE levels in adult AD patients treated with tralokinumab in daily practice. Materials and Methods: Data of all adult AD patients who started treatment with tralokinumab and participated in the BioDay registry were collected at baseline, and after 4,16 and 28 weeks of treatment. Clinical efficacy was evaluated by clinical outcome measures, such as the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) as well as patient-reported outcome measures, such as the numerical rating scale (NRS) for pruritus. Adverse events were evaluated. In a subgroup of patients, 18 proteins as well as total IgE levels were measured in serum. Results: A total of 84 patients were included, of whom 39 were dupilumab-naïve (D-naïve) and 45 were dupilumab non-naïve (D-non-naïve) patients. All primary outcomes significantly improved during 28 weeks of tralokinumab treatment and the probability of achieving EASI ≤ 7 and NRS-pruritis ≤ 4 was 75.8% (56.9–88.2) and 51.4% (28.0–74.2), respectively. The disease severity-associated proteins TARC/CCL17 and PARC/CCL18 decreased during treatment, and total IgE levels significantly decreased in the D-naïve patients. The most reported adverse events were eye disorders (n = 24, 28.6%). A total of 23 patients (27.4%) discontinued treatment due to adverse events and/or ineffectiveness, with hair loss being the most common adverse event leading to treatment discontinuation (n = 6). Conclusion: Tralokinumab is an effective treatment for moderate-to-severe AD in adult patients, in both dupilumab-naïve patients and patients who previously failed on dupilumab treatment. The clinical effect is supported by the biological data.
