Efficacy and Safety of <scp>IL</scp> ‐ <scp>4Rα</scp> Inhibitors for Atopic Dermatitis: A Systematic Review and Meta Analysis of Randomised Controlled Trials

statistics. Nineteen RCTs comprising 4465 patients met inclusion criteria. At week 16, IL-4Rα inhibitors showed sustained efficacy across EASI-50/75/90, IGA 0/1 and pruritus reduction. Dupilumab remained the most validated agent, with durable effects, low heterogeneity and favourable safety. Among novel biologics, stapokibart and rademikibart demonstrated the most promising results, achieving superior EASI-90 and ≥ 4-point PP-NRS responses: stapokibart (OR 4.94; 95% CI 3.20-7.61) and rademikibart (OR 4.61; 95% CI 1.68-12.65), though the latter showed higher odds of adverse events. Other agents (MG-K10, GR1802, 611, AK120) provided encouraging but limited data. IL-4Rα inhibitors represent effective and safe therapies for moderate-to-severe AD. Dupilumab remains the reference standard, while stapokibart and rademikibart emerge as promising next-generation options. Further large, long-term, head-to-head RCTs are warranted to confirm their comparative performance. PROSPERO Registration: CRD420251129343.

Abstract

statistics. Nineteen RCTs comprising 4465 patients met inclusion criteria. At week 16, IL-4Rα inhibitors showed sustained efficacy across EASI-50/75/90, IGA 0/1 and pruritus reduction. Dupilumab remained the most validated agent, with durable effects, low heterogeneity and favourable safety. Among novel biologics, stapokibart and rademikibart demonstrated the most promising results, achieving superior EASI-90 and ≥ 4-point PP-NRS responses: stapokibart (OR 4.94; 95% CI 3.20-7.61) and rademikibart (OR 4.61; 95% CI 1.68-12.65), though the latter showed higher odds of adverse events. Other agents (MG-K10, GR1802, 611, AK120) provided encouraging but limited data. IL-4Rα inhibitors represent effective and safe therapies for moderate-to-severe AD. Dupilumab remains the reference standard, while stapokibart and rademikibart emerge as promising next-generation options.
