Extrinsic and Intrinsic Factors in Atopic Dermatitis Upon Systemic Immune Modulation

Currently, patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis are treated with dupilumab if unresponsive to topical treatment. However, not all patients who suffer from atopic dermatitis respond similarly to this treatment. Pattern recognition of immune cells (PRI) is an efficient method to screen patients to allow a more personalized therapy. The main aim of this scientific explorative study is to unravel the changes in peripheral blood immune cell compositions in patients with atopic eczema undergoing dupilumab treatment. This allows the identification of phenotypes of treatment responders and non-responders and possible approaches of treatment modifications for non-responders.
