Long-term 2-year safety and efficacy of tralokinumab in adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis: Interim analysis of the ECZTEND open-label extension trial
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BackgroundAdditional long-term treatments are needed for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD). An ongoing, open-label, 5-year extension trial, ECZTEND (NCT03587805), assesses tralokinumab plus optional topical corticosteroids in participants from previous tralokinumab parent trials (PTs) with moderate-to-severe AD.ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of up to 2 years tralokinumab treatment in a post hoc interim analysis.MethodsSafety analyses included adults from completed PTs enrolled in ECZTEND, regardless of tralokinumab exposure duration. Efficacy analyses included adult participants treated with tralokinumab in ECZTEND for ≥1 year and subgroup analyses of those on tralokinumab for 2 years (1 year from PT, 1 year in ECZTEND). Primary end point was the number of adverse events with additional efficacy end points.ResultsParticipants on tralokinumab had an exposure-adjusted rate of 237.8 adverse events/100 patient-years’ exposure (N = 1174) in the safety analysis set. Exposure-adjusted incidence rates of common adverse events were comparable to PTs, although at lower rates. With 2 years of tralokinumab, improvements in extent and severity of AD were sustained, with Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI-75) in 82.5% of participants (N = 345).LimitationsPossible selection bias; no placebo arm; some participants experienced treatment gaps between PTs and ECZTEND.ConclusionOver 2 years, tralokinumab was well tolerated and maintained long-term control of AD signs and symptoms. Additional long-term treatments are needed for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
