Article Abstract

Children with severe atopic dermatitis (AD), refractory to conventional systemic treatment as well as single-agent biologic and Janus kinase inhibitor (JAKi) such as abrocitinib, currently face a lack of treatment options. In response to this clinical conundrum, we present three cases of severe and refractory pediatric AD successfully managed with combined dupilumab and abrocitinib. These children had exhausted all conventional treatments and had undergone treatment with both dupilumab and abrocitinib individually, as well as dupilumab in conjunction with methotrexate. It was only when the combination of dupilumab and abrocitinib was introduced that they finally achieved noticeable and sustained improvements in disease control.

Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, highly pruritic, relapsing inflammatory disease associated with high quality-of-life burden. Topical 1.5% ruxolitinib cream is a selective Janus kinase (JAK)1/JAK2 inhibitor that is well tolerated and effective in improving itch and lesion clearance in patients ≥ 12 years old.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory skin disorder characterized by immune dysregulation and epidermal barrier dysfunction. Advances in understanding the interplay of genetic predisposition, cytokine signaling, and environmental triggers have led to the emergence of targeted therapies. Although biologic agents such as dupilumab, tralokinumab, and lebrikizumab have revolutionized AD management, their high costs, injectable administration, and limited global accessibility highlight the need for alternative options.
