Background
Dupilumab, a human monoclonal antibody targeting the interleukin 4 alpha receptor, is used for treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD). Previous studies have reported diagnoses of cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) after dupilumab use.
Objective
Investigate the risk of CTCL after dupilumab use in patients with AD.
Methods
Using the TrinetX database, incidence of cutaneous and lymphoid malignancies including CTCL was compared between a cohort of patients with AD who used dupilumab and a cohort of patients with AD who never used dupilumab. A second analysis excluding prior disease-modifying antirheumatic drug use was performed. Propensity score matching was performed to control for covariates.
Results
An increased risk of CTCL was found in the cohort of AD patients who used dupilumab (odds ratio 4.1003, 95% confidence interval 2.055-8.192). The increased risk persisted after exclusion of prior disease-modifying antirheumatic drug use. Risk was not increased for other cutaneous or lymphoid malignancies. Most (27/41) cases of CTCL were diagnosed more than 1 year after dupilumab use.
Limitations
There is potential for misclassification in the database. Severity of AD could not be assessed. Association between dupilumab and CTCL does not prove causality.
Conclusion
Dupilumab use is associated with an increased risk of CTCL in patients with AD in this cohort.
