A total of 28 patients were enrolled across 11 sites in five countries.<sup>1<\/sup><\/p><p>\nDuring the initial 16-week randomized treatment period, patients received one of two tralokinumab dose regimens. The trial met its primary objective and overall, the pharmacokinetic profile was as expected and consistent with what has previously been observed with tralokinumab.<\/p><p>\nPatients in the trial were treated with tralokinumab for up to 172 weeks. Following the initial treatment period, all patients entered an open-label phase and continued tralokinumab treatment, and a subsequent off-treatment safety follow-up period of 16 weeks.<\/p><p>\nAcross the initial, open-label, and long-term extension periods, tralokinumab was generally well tolerated, and the safety data observed was consistent with the known safety profile of tralokinumab. The majority of adverse events were non-serious and mild to moderate in severity.<\/p><p>\n\u201c<i>These results are encouraging, particularly given the long duration of exposure in a pediatric population with significant disease burden<\/i>,\u201d said Professor Michael Cork, Professor of Dermatology and Co\u2011Director of Sheffield Dermatology Research at the University of Sheffield and lead investigator of the TRAPEDS-1 trial. \u201c<i>When treating children with chronic inflammatory diseases, clinicians rely on data that provide consistency and reduce uncertainty. The findings observed over years of treatment provide important information to support long-term management in pediatric patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis<\/i>.\u201d<\/p><p>\nDetailed results from the TRAPEDS-1 trial will be submitted for scientific presentation and publication at a later date.<\/p><p>\nA separate Phase 3 trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of tralokinumab in children and infants with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (TRAPEDS-2), is currently ongoing.<\/p><p>\nThe safety and efficacy of tralokinumab in patients aged 6 to 11 has not been evaluated by regulatory agencies.<\/p><p>\n<b>About the TRAPEDS-1 Trial<\/b><\/p><p>\nThe TRAPEDS-1 clinical trial (NCT05388760) is a Phase 2, randomized, assessor-blinded, parallel-group, multicenter clinical monotherapy trial designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of tralokinumab in children aged 6 to 11 years with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. Patients were randomized before entering an initial 16-week treatment period to receive one of two tralokinumab dose regimens. Following this period, all patients entered an open-label treatment phase, which included a long-term extension period and an off-treatment safety follow-up.<\/p><p>\nIn addition to pharmacokinetics and safety, the trial collected exploratory clinical outcome measures, including Investigator\u2019s Global Assessment (IGA), Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI), SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD), and Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM), to further characterize the treatment experience in this pediatric population.<\/p><p>\nThe primary objective of the TRAPEDS-1 trial was to characterize key pharmacokinetic parameters The secondary objectives were to evaluate safety and immunogenicity, and to evaluate the efficacy of tralokinumab on severity and extent of atopic dermatitis, as well as on patient-reported outcomes, in children with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis.<\/p><p>\n<b>About Adtralza\u00ae (tralokinumab) \/ Adbry \u00ae (tralokinumab-ldrm)<\/b><\/p><p>\nAdtralza\u00ae (tralokinumab), which is marketed under the tradename Adbry\u00ae in the U.S., is a high-affinity fully human monoclonal antibody developed to bind to and inhibit the interleukin (IL)-13 cytokine, which plays a role in the immune and inflammatory processes underlying atopic dermatitis signs and symptoms.<sup>2,3<\/sup><\/p><p>\nAdtralza\u00ae \/ Adbry\u00ae is approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis in adult and adolescent patients 12 years and older who are candidates for systemic therapy in the European Union, United States, Canada, the United Arab Emirates and South Korea.
