    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Crisaborole ointment, 2%, is a nonsteroidal phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor for the treatment of mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis (AD). This post hoc, pooled analysis identified demographic characteristics associated with early response to crisaborole. METHODS: Early response was defined as day 8 Investigator’s Static Global Assessment (ISGA) success (clear [0] or almost clear [1] with ≥2-grade improvement), ISGA clear/almost clear, or Severity of Pruritus Scale (SPS) response (≥1-point improvement). Correlations between early response and day-29 response were calculated. RESULTS: Patients were more likely to be early ISGA success responders if they were aged <12 years (P=0.0023), were white (P=0.0316), had moderate baseline disease by ISGA (P=0.0003), had not received prior AD treatment (P=0.0213), had disease duration shorter than or equal to the median (≤6.45 years; P=0.0349), or did not concurrently use antihistamines (P=0.0148). Similar early response results were observed for patients achieving ISGA clear or almost clear; however, they were more likely to have mild baseline disease by ISGA (P<0.0001) or mild percentage of treatable body surface area involvement (5 to <16; P<0.0001). Patients aged <12 years (P=0.0001) or with moderate baseline disease (P=0.0475) were more likely to be early responders based on SPS criteria. By all 3 definitions, patients who achieved early response at day 8 were more likely to be responders at day 29 (P<0.0001). CONCLUSION: Based on this analysis, patients aged <12 years were more likely to be early responders to crisaborole per all 3 definitions. Early response to crisaborole was a predictor of response at day 29.
