The pipeline for atopic
dermatitis therapeutic is expected to witness significant growth in the future
due to rising prevalence of the disease and food allergies, which is expected
to impact around 20.0% of the global population in the developed countries, according
to a research done by Nutrition and Health Department, Nestle Research Centre, in
2015. Many generic drugs are already being given, but with the introduction of
biologics, particularly interleukin (IL) inhibitors, is expected to be an
effective future strategy for the drug manufacturers. Currently, the physicians
have no other pharmacological options, which leads to treatment failure and
intolerability to cyclosporine can occur when physicians prescribe off-label
therapies.

Atopic dermatitis is a
chronic inflammatory skin disease, associated with hyperactivity to
environmental triggers. It has been concluded from the various clinical
findings of atopic dermatitis that pruritus, facial and extensor eczema in
infants and children, flexural eczema in adults and chronicity of the
dermatitis in many immunologic and inflammatory pathways are activated and
complex interaction among susceptibility genes occurs which led to defect in
skin function, systemic and local immune responses. It also gives rise to
asthma, food allergy and allergic rhinitis, which is characterized by elevated
serum IgE levels and peripheral eosinophilia. There are two forms of atopic
dermatitis. Extrinsic atopic dermatitis, which includes expression of skin
homing receptor, cutaneous lymphocyte associated antigen by memory T cells
produce Th2 cytokines. IL-13 and IL-4 are the isotypes which induce IgE
synthesis and IL-5 and play an important role in eosinophil development. The T
cells associated with cutaneous lymphocyte associated antigen produce
abnormally low level of IFN-γ which inhibit the Th2 cell function. In intrinsic
atopic dermatitis, IL-13 and IL-4 production is less.
In June 2016, Regeneron
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. collaborated with Sanofi to produce Dupilumab, was used
in the treatment along with topical corticosteroids, alone in long term phase
III trials. Leo Pharma collaborated with AstraZeneca plc and acquired the global
license for tralokinumab in skin diseases and exclusive license for brodalumab
in Europe.
