Abstract:
(1) Background: Prurigo nodularis (PN) is a persistent and inflammatory dermatological condition characterized by chronic itching and the formation of hardened nodules, significantly impacting the affected individuals' quality of life and psychological well-being. The management of PN poses challenges due to the limited efficacy and undesirable side effects associated with current interventions. (2) Methods: This article examines sixteen patients affected by PN treated with dupilumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin IL-4 and IL-13 signaling. This involves a retrospective descriptive statistical analysis. (3) Results and (4) Conclusions: In all patients, dupilumab proves to be an effective drug in achieving disease clearance, as indicated by all the parameters considered as assessed by both physicians and patients at each evaluation point (Week 6, Week 16, Week 32, Week 52, Week 68, and Week 84), in comparison to the initial baseline.
