Paris Pop-Up: Hands Down the Most Fun You’ll Have Learning About Chronic Hand Eczema Late Breaker Edition Chronic Hand Eczema in Focus: DELTA-Teen efficacy & pooled safety of topical pan-JAK Episode Tasting Menu 🍽️: Jet-lag ✈️, steak-frites , and NEW science : we unpack fresh adolescent data for a topical pan-JAK cream in chronic hand eczema (CHE) and a pooled safety package that’s so uneventful it’s…beautiful 😌. (Melinda’s words: “Boring is good.”) Fresh from EADV Paris 🗼🇫🇷, the team breaks down two late-breaking updates on CHE: 1. DELTA-Teen — a randomized (3:1) 16-week trial of a topical pan-JAK inhibitor (delgocitinib cream) in adolescents (12–17) with moderate–severe CHE. 📊 2. Pooled safety analysis across five trials (Phase 2b/3; 16-week regular use + up to 52-week as-needed). 🛡️📈 What’s on the tasting menu : • EADV in Paris — highlights with a dash of Melinda’s Paris story 🥐📸 • Current adolescent CHE care — steroid limits & non-steroidal gaps • DELTA-Teen unpacked — design, endpoints, results, onset, adherence impact • Safety deep-dive — pooled 5-trial analysis, 52-week PRN, counseling talking points • Practice pearls — payer metrics (IGA-CHE), cross-setting messaging, fast-tracking from primary care • Wrap — off-label nuance, what to tell parents/teens, what to watch for next We dive into where a non-steroidal topical JAK can fit for adolescents—an area with gaps given steroid hesitancy and tolerability issues with other non-steroidals 🧩. Plus, a practical workflow map 🗺️: primary care triage → dermatology fast-track → pharmacy counseling (steroid fears, adherence benefits from rapid itch relief) → documentation (expect IGA-CHE to be required by payers). Importantly, efficacy signals span CHE subtypes (atopic, irritant, allergic) ✅—supporting broad real-world relevance 🌍. Learning objectives 🎯: 1. Describe the DELTA-Teen trial design for adolescent CHE, including primary (IGA-CHE TS) and key secondary endpoints (HECSI-90, HESD itch/pain). 2. Interpret week-16 efficacy results and differentiate early patient-reported benefits from statistical-significance timing (e.g., week-12 separation)—and weave this into adherence counseling ⏳. 3. Summarize pooled safety across five trials (16-week regular use + up to 52-week PRN): common AEs, no increased AE rates vs vehicle, and implications of minimal systemic absorption & no boxed warning for topical delgocitinib 🛡️📉. 4. Identify gaps in adolescent CHE management (steroid limitations, tolerability of other non-steroidals) and position topical pan-JAK inhibitors appropriately—acknowledging off-label use where applicable 🧭. 5. Apply a care-pathway playbook (primary care → dermatology → pharmacy counseling → payer documentation) and document outcomes likely required for access (e.g., IGA-CHE scoring) across CHE subtypes 📋✅. Practical pearls (AKA Clinic Cheat Codes) : • Expect early itch relief that can boost adherence; set expectations about week-12 statistical separation ⏱️🙌. • Use IGA-CHE in documentation; keep HECSI-90/HESD in mind for research/quality initiatives 📝🔍. • Safety talking points: AEs comparable to vehicle; long-term PRN data up to 52 weeks; discuss the no boxed warning context vs class concerns 🛡️🗣️. • Reinforce steroid-sparing options to address teen/parent anxieties about skin thinning 🧴. • Subtype-agnostic efficacy supports practical use while you sort mixed etiologies 🧪🔄. — Notes ⚠️🗒️: Adolescent use discussed here reflects off-label prescribing in many regions pending any label extension. Always consult local product labeling and guidance. ________________________________________ #SkinAndJointsPodcast #ChronicHandEczema #CHE #EADV2025 #Paris #Dermatology #DELTATeen #Delgocitinib #JAKInhibitor #TopicalJAK #AdolescentDerm #PediatricDerm #ItchRelief #SteroidSparing #ClinicalTrials #RealWorldEvidence #IGACHE #HECSI90 #HESD #PracticePearls #DermPharmacy #MedEd #HCPs #EvidenceBasedDerm SUPPORTED BY AN IME GRANT FROM LEO PHARMA ABOUT Dr.Melinda Gooderham, MD, FRCPC ( Dermatology) Toronto, ON Melinda Gooderham MD MSc FRCPC Dr. Gooderham is a Dermatologist and Medical Director at the SKiN Centre for Dermatology and an Investigator with Probity Medical Research.

What’s on the tasting menu :
• EADV in Paris — highlights with a dash of Melinda’s Paris story 🥐📸
• Current adolescent CHE care — steroid limits & non-steroidal gaps
• DELTA-Teen unpacked — design, endpoints, results, onset, adherence impact
• Safety deep-dive — pooled 5-trial analysis, 52-week PRN, counseling talking points
