Pfizer's atopic dermatitis treatment meets goals in late-stage study

Abrocitinib, which belongs to a class of drugs known as JAK inhibitors, which block inflammation-causing enzymes, known as Janus kinases, achieved statistically significant improvement in clearing the skin of patients as compared to placebo.

The results of the study, which tested two doses of the drug in 387 patients, showed abrocitinib was consistently well-tolerated, Pfizer said.

Abrocitinib, which received breakthrough therapy designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration last year, also met the secondary goals of reducing itch severity.

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic skin disease characterized by inflammation of the skin and skin barrier defects.
