Study summary

This study aims to assess the impact of dupilumab on the mental health and quality of life of moderate-to-severe Atopic Dermatitis (AD) patients. The study will recruit participants from AD patients who are already receiving dupilumab treatment. The study enrollment period will be about 9 months with each of the participants undergoing a 6-month observational study period.

Study population

The study will recruit participants from AD patients who are already receiving dupilumab treatment (Dupixent®) (within 30 days of enrolment) at the start of the study or for whom the investigator has decided to initiate dupilumab therapy (Dupixent®) independently from the study entry. Eligible patients include those who started dupilumab treatment up to 30 days before enrollment and have a baseline Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS-A and/or HADS-D) score of more than (≥) 8 (±3 days from treatment initiation). Each enrolled participant will undergo a 6-month observational study period

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Participants who have moderate to severe AD with signs and symptoms of anxiety and/or depression.
  • Participants who initiate dupilumab therapy within 30 days of enrolment, based on the treating physician's decision, independently of study participation
  • Participants and/or their legally approved representatives (LAR in case of the minor subject) must agree to sign an or an assent.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Females who are pregnant, lactating, or planning/intending to be pregnant in the next 6 months.
  • Participants who are participating in another trial.
  • Participants with active chronic or acute infection requiring systemic treatment.
  • Participants who are diagnosed with active endoparasite infection or are suspected of being at high risk of infection.
  • Participants with (HIV), or C, , or other concomitant illnesses.
  • Participants on antidepressants/anti-anxiety within 6 months of enrolment or those who are planning to receive antidepressants/anti-anxiety. In addition, those who will use antidepressants/anti-anxiety medications throughout the study will be excluded from the analysis.

The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Proportion of Participants with Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale Anxiety (HADS-A) Sub-scores of Less Than 8

    The HADS is a 14-item patient-reported outcomes measure used to assess states of anxiety and depression over the past week. It is comprised of 7 items assessing anxiety and depression respectively. A Total score is out of 42 (21 per subscale). Higher scores indicate greater levels of anxiety.

    Time frame: Week 24

  2. Proportion of Participants with HADS Depression (HADS-D) Sub-scores of less than 8

    The HADS is a 14-item patient-reported outcomes measure used to assess states of anxiety and depression over the past week. It is comprised of 7 items assessing anxiety and depression respectively. A Total score is out of 42 (21 per subscale). Higher scores indicate greater levels of depression.

    Time frame: Week 24

  3. Change from Baseline in HADS Total Score.

    The HADS is a 14-item patient-reported outcomes measure used to assess states of anxiety and depression over the past week. It is comprised of 7 items assessing anxiety and depression respectively. A Total score is out of 42 (21 per subscale). Higher scores indicate greater levels of anxiety and/or depression.

    Time frame: Baseline to up to Week 24

  4. Proportion of Participants with More Than or Equal to 4-point Improvement in POEM Total Score

    The Patient Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM) is a 7-item self-assessment questionnaire that assesses disease symptoms on a scale ranging from 0 to 4 (0 = no days, 1 = 1 to 2 days, 2 = 3 to 4 days, 3 = 5 to 6 days, 4 = all days). The sum of the 7 items gives the total POEM score of 0 (absent disease) to 28 (severe disease). Higher scores indicate more severe disease and poor quality of life.

    Time frame: Week 24

  5. Change from Baseline in POEM Total Score.

    The POEM is a 7-item self-assessment questionnaire that assesses disease symptoms on a scale ranging from 0 to 4 (0 = no days, 1 = 1 to 2 days, 2 = 3 to 4 days, 3 = 5 to 6 days, 4 = all days). The sum of the 7 items gives the total POEM score of 0 (absent disease) to 28 (severe disease). Higher scores indicate more severe disease and poor quality of life.

    Time frame: Baseline to up to Week 24

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change from Baseline in Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI)/Children's DLQI total score.

    DLQI is a 10-item questionnaire to measure dermatology specific quality of life (QoL). The DLQI is designed for use in adults (patients more than equal to \[≥\] 17 years of age) and the CDLQI for patients 12-17 years of age. Each question is scored on a four-point Likert scale. The DLQI is calculated by adding the score of each question, resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0. The higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired. A score higher than 10 indicates that the patient's life is being severely affected by their skin disease.

    Time frame: Baseline to week 24

  2. Proportion of Participants Achieving More than Equal to 4-point Improvement in DLQI/CDLQI Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID)

    DLQI is a 10-item questionnaire to measure dermatology specific quality of life (QoL). The DLQI is designed for use in adults (patients more than equal to \[≥\] 17 years of age) and the CDLQI for patients 12-17 years of age. Each question is scored on a four-point Likert scale. The DLQI is calculated by adding the score of each question, resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0. The higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired. A score higher than 10 indicates that the patient's life is being severely affected by their skin disease.

    Time frame: Week 24

  3. Proportion of Participants with Impacted Psychological Status using Dermatological Cumulative Life Course Impairment-Prospective (DermCLCI-p)

    DermCLCI-p is the predictive tool of 30 questions that assesses the current cumulative life course impairment (CLCI) status and future risk. This tool consists of 30 items, items 1 to 28 are answered on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 3 (very). Items 29 and 30 are answered on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very).

    Time frame: Baseline to up to Week 24

  4. Proportion of Participants with Impacted Professional Life/Education Status using DermCLCI-p

    DermCLCI-p is the predictive tool of 30 questions that assesses the current cumulative life course impairment (CLCI) status and future risk. This tool consists of 30 items, items 1 to 28 are answered on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 3 (very). Items 29 and 30 are answered on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very).

    Time frame: At Baseline and Week 24.
