Introduction

Treat-to-target (T2T) is a clinical paradigm intended to improve disease outcomes using measurement-based goals. Various groups of dermatologists have made T2T recommendations for managing moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD). These are based primarily on expert opinion, and their relevance for real-world outcomes has received limited attention. The objective of the present analysis was to assess the relevance of Canadian T2T criteria for moderate-to-severe AD in real-world practice by describing the agreement between achieving criteria and treatment decisions.

Methods

Canadian dermatologists conducted retrospective chart reviews of adult patients with moderate-to-severe AD treated with an advanced systemic therapy (AST) in clinical practice. T2T criteria were applied to patient outcomes and treatment decisions were reported.

Results

Charts were reviewed for 297 patients who were assessed a combined 503 times over up to 1 year of treatment. Treatment modifications were made in less than 10% (38/425, 9%) of cases where patients met target and more than half (41/78, 53%) where they missed target. For patients missing target, switching AST was the most common modification.

Conclusions

Treatment decisions were generally aligned with the retrospectively applied Canadian T2T criteria. While these results require further validation, they suggest that the T2T criteria represent valid thresholds for clinical decision-making.
