Key clinical point: Lebrikizumab monotherapy for 16 weeks significantly reduced itch and itch-associated sleep loss in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD).

Major finding: At 16 weeks, a significantly higher number of patients from the ADvocate1 and ADvocate2 trials treated with lebrikizumab vs placebo achieved a ≥ 3-point improvement in the Pruritus Numeric Rating Scale scores (ADvocate1 54.6% vs 19.2%; ADvocate2 49.4% vs 14.0%; both P < .001) and ≥ 1-point improvement in Sleep-Loss Scale scores (ADvocate1 64.1% vs 27.2%; ADvocate2 58.1% vs 21.7%; both P < .001).

Study details: Findings are from a study including patients from the ADvocate1 (n = 424) and ADvocate2 (n = 427) trials who had moderate-to-severe AD and were randomized to receive subcutaneous lebrikizumab or placebo every 2 weeks.

Disclosures: This study was sponsored by Dermira, a wholly owned subsidiary of Eli Lilly and Company. Several authors declared receiving research grants or honoraria from, serving as employees and shareholders of, or having other ties with various sources, including Eli Lilly and Dermira.
