Updated Review on Treatment of Atopic Dermatitis.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic or chronically recurrent Inflammatory dermatosis associated with multiple triggers that has a complex pathophysiological mechanism. It is characterized by a heterogeneous clinical expression, signs, and symptoms. Its etiology and pathogenesis are complex and are influenced by multiple immune-mediated factors. Treatment of AD can also be complex, given the high number of available drugs and multiple therapeutic targets. In this review, we summarize current literature on the efficacy and safety of topical and systemic drugs to treat moderate-to-severe AD. We begin with topical treatments such as corticosteroids and calcineurin inhibitors and subsequently address the latest systemic treatments, such as Janus kinase inhibitors (upadacitinib, baricitinib, abrocitinib, gusacitinib) and interleukin (IL) inhibitors, which have proven efficacious in AD, namely, dupilumab (IL-4 and IL-13), tralokinumab (IL-13), lebrikizumab (IL-13), and nemolizumab (IL-31). Given the large number of drugs available, we summarize the pivotal clinical trials for each drug, evaluate recent real-world experience in terms of safety and efficacy for purposes of compilation, and provide evidence to guide the optimal choice of therapy.

Actualización en el posicionamiento del Grupo Español de Psoriasis (GPS) en la utilización de medicamentos biosimilares en psoriasis moderada-grave / Updated Position of the Spanish Psoriasis Group (GPs) on the Use of Biosimilar Drugs in Moderate to Severe Psoriasis

La incorporación de los fármacos biosimilares en el manejo de la psoriasis moderada-grave en nuestra práctica clínica diaria ha supuesto una revolución y reposicionamiento de las diferentes moléculas que usamos diariamente para su control. La incorporación de evidencia mediante ensayos clínicos y experiencias de real wold evidence ha ayudado a clarifificar conceptos y modos de utilización que distan de su posicionamiento inicial. Es por ello que se impone una actualización del posicionamiento del grupo de trabajo de psoriasis en la utilización de los fármacos biosimiliares dada la nueva realidad existente (AU)

The advent of biosimilar drugs and their use in routine clinical practice has revolutionized the management of moderate to severe psoriasis and led to changes in the positioning of the existing molecules used to control this condition. Evidence from clinical trials complemented by real-world experience has helped to clarify concepts and has significantly changed the use and positioning of biologic agents in this setting. The present document is an update on the position of the Spanish Psoriasis Working Group regarding the use of biosimilar drugs, which takes into account this new situation (AU)

La dermatitis atópica (DA) es una dermatosis inflamatoria crónica o crónicamente recurrente, asociada a múltiples desencadenantes y con un mecanismo fisiopatológico complejo. Se caracteriza por una expresión clínica, signos y síntomas heterogéneos. Su etiopatogenia es compleja y está influenciada por múltiples factores inmunomediados. El tratamiento de la DA también resulta complejo; esto se debe a que existen varios fármacos que pueden utilizarse para tratar la DA con múltiples dianas terapéuticas. En esta revisión, resumimos la literatura actual sobre la eficacia y seguridad de los fármacos tópicos y sistémicos para tratar la DA de moderada a grave. Partiremos desde tratamientos tópicos como los corticoides y los inhibidores de la calcineurina tópicos, hasta los últimos tratamientos sistémicos como los inhibidores cinasas Jano JAK (upadacitinib, baricitinib, abrocitinib, gusacitinib) y los inhibidores de la interleucina (IL) que han demostrado eficacia sobre la DA: dupilumab (IL-4 e IL-13), tralokinumab (IL-13), lebrikizumab (IL-13) y nemolizumab (IL-31). Como hemos visto existen multitud de fármacos para tratar la DA, por este motivo hemos realizado una revisión en la cual se han tenido en cuenta todos los ensayos clínicos de fase III de cada fármaco. También ha sido evaluada su experiencia reciente en la práctica clínica en concepto de seguridad y eficacia con el propósito de compilar esta evidencia para ayudar a seleccionar la terapia adecuada (AU)

Aspectos medicolegales de la práctica de la teledermatología en España / Medical and Legal Aspects of the Practice of Teledermatology in Spain

El ejercicio de la teledermatología ya se encuentra plenamente incorporado a nuestra práctica clínica. Sin embargo, tras revisar aspectos legislativos y éticos sobre confidencialidad, calidad asistencial, autonomía del paciente, privacidad, responsabilidad profesional y seguros en relación con la teledermatología constatamos que aún carece de regulación específica, y sus aspectos legales están poco desarrollados. Garantizar la confidencialidad, la autonomía del paciente y la seguridad en el almacenamiento y envío de los datos son cuestiones imprescindibles para su práctica. La responsabilidad de los facultativos que intervienen en el proceso es uno de los principales motivos de controversia, y la figura del médico responsable es determinante para decidir sobre la atribución de la misma. Es necesario el desarrollo de una regulación concreta para ejercer la teledermatología de forma segura para los profesionales y los pacientes

Teledermatology is now fully incorporated into our clinical practice. However, after reviewing current legislation on the ethical aspects of teledermatology (data confidentiality, quality of care, patient autonomy, and privacy) as well as insurance and professional responsibility, we observed that a specific regulatory framework is still lacking and related legal aspects are still at a preliminary stage of development. Safeguarding confidentiality and patient autonomy and ensuring secure storage and transfer of data are essential aspects of telemedicine. One of the main topics of debate has been the responsibilities of the physicians involved in the process, with the concept of designating a single responsible clinician emerging as a determining factor in the allocation of responsibility in this setting. A specific legal and regulatory framework must be put in place to ensure the safe practice of teledermatology for medical professionals and their patients

Secukinumab: Drug Survival in Clinical Practice Settings. / Secukinumab: supervivencia en práctica clínica real.

Secukinumab, an immunoglobulin G1/κ monoclonal antibody that selectively targets interleukin 17a, is used to treat moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in adults who are eligible for systemic treatment. Indirect comparisons of the efficacy of secukinumab, ustekinumab, and anti-tumor necrosis factor agents have found lower drug survival rates for patients on secukinumab, in spite of that biologic's rapid onset of action and efficacy as demonstrated by the large number of patients reaching a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index of 90 or 100. We present data from a retrospective study of 171 patients treated with doses of 300mg or 150mg of secukinumab every 4 weeks in 5 hospitals in the Spanish autonomous community of Andalusia. Eighty-seven percent continued on treatment at 132 weeks, contrasting with reports from previously published case series.

Manejo de la psoriasis moderada-grave en condiciones de práctica habitual en el ámbito hospitalario español / Management of Moderate to Severe Psoriasis in Routine Clinical Practice in Spanish Hospitals

INTRODUCCIÓN: En España existe actualmente escasa información sobre el manejo de los pacientes con psoriasis en la práctica clínica diaria de los dermatólogos. OBJETIVO: El objetivo de esta encuesta de opinión fue recoger información de los dermatólogos españoles expertos en el manejo de los pacientes con psoriasis sobre los protocolos que realizan en su práctica clínica habitual. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Encuesta de opinión realizada mediante cuestionario on line remitido a 75 dermatólogos expertos en el manejo de la psoriasis. El cuestionario, diseñado específicamente para la encuesta de opinión, incluía 12 preguntas sobre diferentes aspectos de la práctica clínica en el tratamiento de la psoriasis moderada-grave. RESULTADOS: La tasa de respuesta fue del 96% (n = 72). Los biológicos fueron la opción más usada como monoterapia. El 64,3% de los encuestados señaló que sus pacientes permanecen 1-2 años con terapias sistémicas clásicas antes de la transición a biológicos, y el principal determinante para decidir la transición fue el control inestable de la actividad de la enfermedad. El 85,7% dio importancia «alta» o «muy alta» a considerar una puntuación PASI < 3 como objetivo terapéutico. Los fármacos de elección más consensuados fueron etanercept en población pediátrica (78,6%), adalimumab y etanercept en artritis psoriásica (64,3%) y ustekinumab en pacientes con frecuentes ausencias domiciliarias (78,6%), baja adherencia (71,4%) e historia de esclerosis múltiple o enfermedades desmielinizantes (64,3%). CONCLUSIÓN: Esta encuesta de opinión proporciona una perspectiva única sobre las opiniones de una muestra representativa de los dermatólogos expertos en cuanto al tratamiento actual de la psoriasis con fármacos biológicos en España

BACKGROUND: There is currently little information available on the management of patients with psoriasis in the daily clinical practice of dermatologists in Spain. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to survey a group of Spanish dermatologists with particular expertise in the management of psoriasis to determine their opinions on the protocols used in routine clinical practice. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study based on an online survey about the management of psoriasis sent to 75 dermatologists. The survey, which was specifically designed for the study, included 12 questions on different aspects of clinical practice in the treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis. RESULTS: The response rate was 96% (n = 72). Biologics were the most widely used monotherapy option. In total, 64.3% of respondents reported that their patients used conventional systemic therapies for 1 to 2 years before switching to a biologic drug and that the main reason for the switch was unstable control of disease activity. Overall, 85.7% assigned a "high" or "very high" importance to the use of a Psoriasis Area Severity Index score of < 3 as a treatment goal. The drugs of choice among the respondents were etanercept for pediatric patients (78.6%), adalimumab and etanercept for patients with psoriatic arthritis (64.3%), and ustekinumab in patients frequently away from home (78.6%) and patients with a history of multiple sclerosis, demyelinating diseases (64.3%), or poor adherence to treatment (71.4%). CONCLUSION: This study provides a unique overview of the opinions of a representative sample of expert dermatologists on the current use of biologics for the treatment of psoriasis in Spain
