However, 27.4% of patients discontinued treatment due to adverse events or ineffectiveness, with hair loss being the most common reason for discontinuation. Overall, tralokinumab proved effective for both dupilumab-naïve and non-naïve patients, with clinical improvements supported by biological data.
