Long-term safety and efficacy of delgocitinib cream for up to 52 weeks in adults with Chronic Hand Eczema: Results of the phase 3 open-label extension DELTA 3 trial following the DELTA 1 and 2 trials
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Delgocitinib cream is the only topical treatment that has been specifically developed and approved for moderate to severe Chronic Hand Eczema (CHE). OBJECTIVE: The objective of this trial was to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of delgocitinib cream 20 mg/g as needed for 36 weeks in adults with CHE. METHODS: In phase 3 open-label DELTA 3 (NCT04949841), patients who completed the 16-week treatment period in the DELTA 1 and 2 trials were treated on an as-needed basis with twice-daily delgocitinib cream for 36 weeks (n= 801). Patients with Investigator's Global Assessment for CHE (IGA-CHE) ≥2 received treatment until IGA-CHE ≤1 was achieved. The primary endpoint was the number of treatment-emergent adverse events. Key secondary endpoints were IGA-CHE 0/1 and ≥75%/≥90% improvement in Hand Eczema Severity Index (HECSI-75/90) scores. RESULTS: Delgocitinib was well-tolerated (n= 801; R = 231.1; patient years of observation = 535.7), with most frequent adverse events being COVID-19 and nasopharyngitis. DELTA 3 baseline IGA-CHE 0/1 (24.6%) and HECSI-75/HECSI-90 (51.8%/31.8%) were maintained to week 36 (30.0% and 58.6%/36.6%, respectively) among delgocitinib-treated patients in the parent trials. Among those previously treated with cream vehicle, corresponding response rates improved from DELTA 3 baseline (9.1% and 23.7%/12.0%, respectively) to week 36 (29.5% and 51.5%/35.7%). LIMITATIONS: Open-label trial. CONCLUSION: Delgocitinib cream treatment was well-tolerated and efficacious in maintaining disease control in patients with CHE for up to 52 weeks.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
