Efficacy and safety of upadacitinib dose escalation and reduction in adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis: results of a randomized blinded treat-to-target multicentre phase IIIb/IV study (Flex Up)
Treatment of moderate-to-severe AD with UPA15 or UPA30, with dose escalation or dose reduction based on achievement of the optimal treatment target of EASI 90 at week 12, demonstrated that both approaches support the achievement and maintenance of EASI 90 at week 24. Overall safety findings were consistent with the known UPA safety profile, with no new safety signals identified.
