  • Mild to Moderate Atopic Dermatitis: Clinical Case Series

    PATIENT CASE STUDY FORM
  • By completing and submitting this Form, you represent that this Form is and shall remain compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and all regulations promulgated under that Act (collectively, “HIPAA”). By submitting this Form, you represent that all of your responses are HIPAA compliant and do not contain any individually identifiable health information.

    IMPORTANT NOTE:

    The case studies that will be developed based on this patient case study form will explore the management of patients with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (AD) on OPZELURA® (ruxolitinib) cream 1.5%. All cases will require high quality, consistent photo documentation of patients at treatment initiation and throughout treatment.  

  • Case Selection Criteria
    All submitted cases should reflect patients who meet the following criteria:
    1.    Non-immunocompromised, aged 2 years or older, diagnosed with mild to moderate AD whose disease is not adequately controlled with topical prescription therapies or when those therapies are not advisable
    2.    Have been treated with OPZELURA as monotherapy for mild to moderate AD up to 20% BSA according to the USPI

  • INDICATION
    OPZELURA is indicated for the topical short-term and non-continuous chronic treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in non-immunocompromised adult and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older whose disease is not adequately controlled with topical prescription therapies or when those therapies are not advisable.

    Limitations of Use: Use of OPZELURA in combination with therapeutic biologics, other JAK inhibitors, or potent immunosuppressants such as azathioprine or cyclosporine is not recommended.

    IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
    SERIOUS INFECTIONS
    Patients treated with oral Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors for inflammatory conditions are at risk for developing serious infections that may lead to hospitalization or death. Reported infections include:
    ·      Active tuberculosis, which may present with pulmonary or extrapulmonary disease.
    ·      Invasive fungal infections, including cryptococcosis and pneumocystosis.
    ·      Bacterial, viral, including herpes zoster, and other infections due to opportunistic pathogens.

  • IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION (cont’d)

    Avoid use of OPZELURA in patients with an active, serious infection, including localized infections. If a serious infection develops, interrupt OPZELURA until the infection is controlled. Carefully consider the benefits and risks of treatment prior to initiating OPZELURA in patients with chronic or recurrent infection. Closely monitor patients for the development of signs and symptoms of infection during and after treatment with OPZELURA.

    Serious lower respiratory tract infections were reported in the clinical development program with topical ruxolitinib.

    No cases of active tuberculosis (TB) were reported in clinical trials with OPZELURA. Cases of active TB were reported in clinical trials of oral JAK inhibitors used to treat inflammatory conditions. Consider evaluating patients for latent and active TB infection prior to administration of OPZELURA. During OPZELURA use, monitor patients for the development of signs and symptoms of TB.

    Viral reactivation, including cases of herpes virus reactivation (e.g., herpes zoster), were reported in clinical trials with JAK inhibitors used to treat inflammatory conditions including OPZELURA. If a patient develops herpes zoster, consider interrupting OPZELURA treatment until the episode resolves.

    Hepatitis B viral load (HBV-DNA titer) increases, with or without associated elevations in alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase, have been reported in patients with chronic HBV infections taking oral ruxolitinib. OPZELURA initiation is not recommended in patients with active hepatitis B or hepatitis C.

    MORTALITY

    In a large, randomized, postmarketing safety study in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients 50 years of age and older with at least one cardiovascular risk factor comparing an oral JAK inhibitor to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blocker treatment, a higher rate of all-cause mortality, including sudden cardiovascular death, was observed with the JAK inhibitor. Consider the benefits and risks for the individual patient prior to initiating or continuing therapy with OPZELURA.

    MALIGNANCIES

    Malignancies were reported in patients treated with OPZELURA. Lymphoma and other malignancies have been observed in patients receiving JAK inhibitors used to treat inflammatory conditions. In RA patients treated with an oral JAK inhibitor, a higher rate of malignancies (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC)) was observed when compared with TNF blockers. Patients who are current or past smokers are at additional increased risk.

    Consider the benefits and risks for the individual patient prior to initiating or continuing therapy with OPZELURA, particularly in patients with a known malignancy (other than successfully treated non-melanoma skin cancers), patients who develop a malignancy when on treatment, and patients who are current or past smokers.

    Non-melanoma skin cancers, including basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma, have occurred in patients treated with OPZELURA. Perform periodic skin examinations during OPZELURA treatment and following treatment as appropriate. Exposure to sunlight and UV light should be limited by wearing protective clothing and using broad-spectrum sunscreen.

    MAJOR ADVERSE CARDIOVASCULAR EVENTS (MACE)

    In RA patients 50 years of age and older with at least one cardiovascular risk factor treated with an oral JAK inhibitor, a higher rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (defined as cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and stroke), was observed when compared with TNF blockers. Patients who are current or past smokers are at additional increased risk. Discontinue OPZELURA in patients who have experienced a myocardial infarction or stroke.  

    Consider the benefits and risks for the individual patient prior to initiating or continuing therapy with OPZELURA, particularly in patients who are current or past smokers and patients with other cardiovascular risk factors. Patients should be informed about the symptoms of serious cardiovascular events and the steps to take if they occur. Discontinue OPZELURA in patients that have experienced a myocardial infarction or stroke.

    THROMBOSIS

    Thromboembolic events were observed in trials with OPZELURA. Thrombosis, including pulmonary embolism (PE), deep venous thrombosis (DVT), and arterial thrombosis have been reported in patients receiving JAK inhibitors used to treat inflammatory conditions. Many of these adverse reactions were serious and some resulted in death. In RA patients 50 years of age and older with at least one cardiovascular risk factor treated with an oral JAK inhibitor, a higher rate of thrombosis was observed when compared with TNF blockers. Avoid OPZELURA in patients at risk. If symptoms of thrombosis occur, discontinue OPZELURA and treat appropriately.

    CYTOPENIAS

    Thrombocytopenia, anemia, neutropenia, lymphopenia, and leukopenia were reported in the clinical trials with OPZELURA. Consider the benefits and risks for individual patients who have a known history of these events prior to initiating therapy with OPZELURA. Perform CBC monitoring as clinically indicated. Discontinue OPZELURA if signs and/or symptoms associated with clinically significant decreases in laboratory values occur.

    Lipid Elevations

    Treatment with oral ruxolitinib has been associated with increases in lipid parameters including total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and triglycerides.

    Adverse Reactions

    In atopic dermatitis, the most common adverse reactions (≥1%) are nasopharyngitis, bronchitis, ear infection, eosinophil count increased, urticaria, diarrhea, folliculitis, tonsillitis, rhinorrhea, upper respiratory tract infection, COVID-19, application site reaction, pyrexia, and white blood cell decreased.

    Pregnancy Registry

    There is a pregnancy registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in pregnant persons exposed to OPZELURA during pregnancy. Pregnant persons exposed to OPZELURA and healthcare providers should report OPZELURA exposure by calling 1-855-463-3463 or visiting www.opzelura.pregnancy.incyte.com.​

    Lactation

    Advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with OPZELURA and for approximately four weeks after the last dose (approximately 5-6 elimination half-lives).

    Please see Full Prescribing Information, including Boxed Warning, and Medication Guide for OPZELURA.
