Abstract
- Background: Measuring patient‐reported outcomes is crucial to fully capture the burden of chronic hand eczema (CHE). Objectives: To assess the effect of delgocitinib cream on itch, pain and nine additional key signs and symptoms reported by patients with CHE using the Hand Eczema Symptom Diary (HESD). Methods: In a double‐blind, phase IIb dose‐ranging trial (NCT03683719), 258 adults with mild to severe CHE were randomized to delgocitinib cream 1, 3, 8 or 20 mg/g or cream vehicle twice daily for 16 weeks. Patients assessed 11 signs and symptoms of CHE daily through the HESD using an 11‐point numeric rating scale; this was an exploratory endpoint. Results: Delgocitinib cream 20 mg/g was associated with an early and sustained reduction in itch and pain, along with clinically relevant reductions of ≥4 points from baseline to Week 16 in 48.4% and 63.6% of patients, respectively (17.9% and 5.9% with cream vehicle). There were improvements versus cream vehicle in all assessed CHE signs and symptoms (20 mg/g, p < 0.05). Conclusions: Delgocitinib cream reduced itch, pain and other signs and symptoms in patients with CHE. This data correlated with clinician‐reported outcomes, indicating that the HESD may be a useful assessment tool for CHE management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
