French Prospective Observational Study in Patients Eligible for Systemic Therapy for Atopic Dermatitis (AD)

The objective of the study is to describe the therapeutic management of patients more than or equal to 18 years old eligible for systemic therapy or treated by systemic therapy for atopic dermatitis (AD). This study will be proposed to a sample of French dermatologists experienced in the management of AD, practicing in hospital centers and/or office-based dermatologists. The study will be conducted in real conditions of practice, systemic treatment decisions will be taken at the sole initiative of the participating physician irrespective of the patient enrollment decision. Each patient will be followed-up in routine care setting for 1 year.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Previous and Current Treatments for Atopic Dermatitis (AD)

    Time frame: Baseline, month 6 and month 12

    List of previous and current treatments for AD based on physician-reported data will be assessed.

  2. Atopic Comorbidities: Previous and Current Therapeutic Management

    Time frame: Baseline, month 6 and month 12

    Description of previous and current therapeutic management of atopic comorbidities over time based on physician-reported data will be assessed.

  3. Change from Baseline in Drug Survival for Systemic Treatments for AD by Name and Dose

    Time frame: Baseline, month 6 and month 12

    Drug survival is defined as the time from the start of treatment to the end or discontinuation of treatment with no changes. If a patient has multiple drug survival events for the same treatment, the longest drug survival will be used in the data summarization. The drug survival will be illustrated using a Kaplan-Meier plot.

  4. Compliance for AD Treatments

    Time frame: Baseline, month 6 and month 12

    Compliance for AD treatments will be assessed by the physician.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Demographic Characteristics of Participants

    Time frame: Baseline

    Demographics characteristics including birth date, gender, and socio-professional category, height, weight, phototype (type I to type VI according to Fitzpatrick's classification).

  2. Medical History and AD history

    Time frame: Baseline

    Medical history will be summarized using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) codes of System Organ Class (SOC) and Preferred Terms (PT).

  3. Change from Baseline in AD Severity

    Time frame: Baseline, month 6 and month 12

    Change from baseline in AD severity assessed through physician-reported persistence with prescribed therapy.

  4. Atopic Comorbidities

    Time frame: Baseline, month 6 and month 12

    Description of the presence, evolution, and therapeutic management of atopic comorbidities over time based on physician-reported data.

  5. Non-atopic Comorbidities

    Time frame: Baseline, month 6 and month 12

    Description of the presence, evolution, and therapeutic management of non-atopic comorbidities over time based on physician-reported data.

  6. Use of Psychoactive Substances

    Time frame: Baseline, month 6 and month 12

    Description of the use of psychoactive substances over time based on patient-reported data.

  7. Change from Baseline in Itch Assessment

    Time frame: Baseline, month 6 and month 12

    Itch assessment (Worst-Itch Numeric Rating Scale, WI-NRS) will be rated from 0 to 10 on average during the past 7 days, completed by the observing physician after questioning of patient; 0 = no itch and 10 = the worst imaginable itch.

  8. Change from Baseline in Sleep Disturbance NRS

    Time frame: Baseline, month 6 and month 12

    NRS sleep disturbance will be rated from 0 to 10 on average during the past 7 days, completed by the observing physician after questioning of patient; 0 = "sleep not disturbed at all" (best possible sleep) and 10 = "sleep extremely disturbed (worst possible sleep)".

  9. Change from Baseline in Skin Pain NRS

    Time frame: Baseline, month 6 and month 12

    Skin pain NRS will be rated from 0 to 10 on average during the past 7 days prior to the visit. On a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being 'no skin pain at all' and 10 being 'the worst imaginable skin pain'.

  10. Change from Baseline in AD Disease Control Using the Atopic Dermatitis Control Tool (ADCT)

    Time frame: Baseline, month 6 and month 12

    ADCT is a questionnaire to assess patient-self-perceived control of their AD with a total score from 0 to 24; higher scores indicate lower AD control.

  11. Change from Baseline in Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI)

    Time frame: Baseline, month 6 and month 12

    DLQI is a 10-item questionnaire to measure dermatology specific quality of life (QoL). 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.

  12. Change from Baseline in Psychological Comorbidities Assessed using Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)

    Time frame: Baseline, month 6 and month 12

    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.

  13. Cumulative Life Course Impairment (CLCI) - for Physicians in Hospital Centers

    Time frame: Baseline, month 6 and month 12

    CLCI-r instrument determines retrospectively which changes and effects the patients have already experienced due to the disease over their entire disease course.

    CLCI-p determines the patient's current situation and thus identifies risk areas in which the patient could experience burdens in the future.

  14. Change from Baseline in Patient's Treatment Satisfaction Score Using the Patient Global Assessment of Treatment Effect (PGATE)

    Time frame: Baseline, month 6 and month 12

    Patient's treatment satisfaction score will be assessed using Patient Global Assessment of Treatment Effect (PGATE). PGATE is an assessment tool used to rate the treatment effect of the medication on atopic dermatitis (AD), with scores ranging from 0 to 4 (0 = poor; 1 = fair; 2 = good; 3 = very good; 4 = excellent), i.e., higher score indicated higher treatment effect.

  15. Evolution of Atopic Comorbidities

    Time frame: Baseline, month 6 and month 12

    Evolution of atopic comorbidities over time, assessed through physician-reported status, occurrence of new diagnoses and persistence of existing conditions.

  16. Management of AD from First Diagnosis

    Time frame: Baseline, month 6 and month 12

    History of healthcare pathway of participant related to AD will be assessed by the physician (if participant had appointment with other healthcare provider for AD).

  17. Therapeutic Education

    Time frame: Baseline, month 6 and month 12

    History of healthcare pathway of participant related to AD will be assessed by the physician (if participant received therapeutic education).

  18. Cost of Emollients and Hygiene Products

    Time frame: At month 12

    Cost of emollients, hygiene products etc. during the last month of the study visit will be assessed.

  19. Sick Leaves Related to AD

    Time frame: Baseline, month 6 and month 12
