Popis: Phosphodiesterase type 4 (PDE4) inhibition is a well-known anti-inflammatory mechanism. However, the clinical use of PDE4 inhibitors has been compromised by the occurrence of mechanism-associated adverse reactions, which often limit the maximum tolerated dose. To minimize systemic exposure, a topically active PDE4 inhibitor with low transdermal bioavailability could be clinically useful. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a novel topical PDE4 inhibitor, E6005, in patients with atopic dermatitis.This randomized, investigator-blinded, vehicle-controlled, multiple ascending dose study included 40 adult male patients with atopic dermatitis, who were randomly assigned to 10 days of treatment with either E6005 ointment (0.01, 0.03, 0.1 or 0.2%) or vehicle ointment.Of 81 patients screened, 40 who had typical lesions on their posterior trunk were randomized into the study. One patient receiving 0.03% E6005 treatment discontinued because of acute gout and one receiving vehicle treatment discontinued because of progression of atopic dermatitis. The targeted lesion severity scores decreased in a concentration-dependent manner in patients treated with E6005. This drop was significant in the 0.2% E6005 ointment treatment group (mean percent change: -54.30%, p = 0.007).E6005 ointment showed anti-inflammatory efficacy in adult patients with atopic dermatitis.
