To evaluate the efficacy and safety of diacerein 1% ointment in the treatment of EBS.
A double-blind study of 54 patients with EBS were randomized to diacerein 1% or vehicle ointment once daily. The primary endpoint ( ≥60% reduction in body surface area of EBS) and the key secondary endpoint ( ≥2-point reduction in the Investigator’s Global Assessment) were evaluated at 8 weeks.
There was no difference in the proportion of patients achieving either key efficacy endpoint between the diacerein 1% and vehicle groups (P>0.05). No difference in treatment emergent adverse events were noted between the groups. In post hoc analysis stratified by EBS subtypes, an IGA score of 0 or 1 was reported in 6 of 13 patients with severe EBS in the diacerein group (46.2%), compared with 2 of 13 patients with severe EBS in the vehicle group (15.4%); (relative risk= 3.08, 95% CI = 0.71, 13.4).
Although there was no significant difference in outcomes between the groups, further study may elucidate the effects of diacerein on EBS lesions, especially in patients with severe EBS.

目的:评价1%双醋瑞因软膏治疗EBS的疗效和安全性。
方法:一项针对54例EBS患者的双盲研究随机分为1%双醋瑞因或载体软膏,每天一次。在8周时评估主要终点(≥EBS体表面积减少60%)和关键次要终点(≥在研究者’s全球评估中减少2点)。
结果:双醋瑞因1%组和溶媒组达到任一关键疗效终点的患者比例无差异(P>0.05)。两组之间在治疗紧急不良事件方面没有差异。在按EBS亚型分层的事后分析中,双醋瑞瑞因组13例严重EBS患者中有6例IGA评分为0或1(46.2%),与赋形剂组13例重度EBS患者中的2例(15.4%)相比;(相对危险度=3.08,95%CI=0.71,13.4).
结论:虽然两组间的结果没有显著差异,进一步的研究可能会阐明双醋瑞因对EBS病变的影响,尤其是严重EBS患者。滕杰,帕勒AS,布鲁克纳AL,etal.1%双醋瑞因软膏治疗单纯大疱性表皮松解症:随机,对照试验。J药物Dermatol.2023年;22(6):599-604。doi:10.36849/JDD.7108.
