Prurigo nodularis (PN) is a persistent and inflammatory dermatological condition characterized by chronic itching and the formation of hardened nodules, significantly impacting the affected individuals' quality of life and psychological well-being. The management of PN poses challenges due to the limited efficacy and undesirable side effects associated with current interventions. This article examines sixteen patients affected by PN treated with dupilumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin IL-4 and IL-13 signaling. This involves a retrospective descriptive statistical analysis. In all patients, dupilumab proves to be an effective drug in achieving disease clearance, as indicated by all the parameters considered as assessed by both physicians and patients at each evaluation point (Week 6, Week 16, Week 32, Week 52, Week 68, and Week 84), in comparison to the initial baseline.
结节性痒疹(PN)是一种持续性炎症性皮肤病,其特征为慢性瘙痒和硬结性结节的形成,严重影响患者的生活质量和心理健康。由于目前的治疗方法疗效有限且存在不良副作用,PN的管理面临挑战。本文研究了16例接受度普利尤单抗治疗的PN患者,度普利尤单抗是一种靶向白细胞介素IL-4和IL-13信号传导的全人单克隆抗体。这涉及一项回顾性描述性统计分析。在所有患者中,与初始基线相比,在每个评估点(第6周、第16周、第32周、第52周、第68周和第84周),医生和患者评估的所有参数均表明,度普利尤单抗在实现疾病清除方面是一种有效的药物。
