Atopic Dermatitis / Atopic Eczema – Geographic Focus – China – Atopic Dermatitis/Atopic Eczema – China In-Depth (China )
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by pruritus and eczema that significantly affects patients’ quality of life. It is traditionally treated with conventional topical and/or systemic agents. Topicals are usually effective for mild cases but not for moderate to severe disease; topicals may also have suboptimal safety, tolerability, and compliance. Thus, there is significant unmet need for more-efficacious therapies for topical-refractory patients and for those with moderate to severe AD. China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) has approved the targeted therapies Dupixent (Sanofi’s dupilumab), Rinvoq (AbbVie’s upadacitinib), and Cibinqo (Pfizer’s abrocitinib) for moderate to severe AD, and many other targeted therapies are in the pipeline. This report provides a comprehensive analysis of China’s AD patient populations, current disease management, lingering unmet needs, and the clinical and commercial potential of current and emerging drugs.
