Circulating IgE levels as a biomarker for treatment response to dupilumab among patients with prurigo nodularis
In this retrospective study, we investigated the role of baseline IgE levels in predicting the treatment response to dupilumab in patients with prurigo nodularis (PN). Our findings showed that patients with elevated IgE experienced significantly greater relief from pruritus following dupilumab treatment, suggesting that IgE could serve as a biomarker for identifying individuals who are more likely to benefit from treatments that target interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13. These results support the development of personalized treatment strategies based on inflammatory profiles in patients with PN.
