ALA 3x reduced NMSC development versus VEH (5 vs 12 lesions, P=0.0014). Conclusion 2 or 3 ALA–PDT treatments with 1-hour incubation can significantly reduce occurrence of AKs after 1 year in patients at high risk of NMSC versus VEH–PDT (NCT02239679). J Drugs Dermatol. 2020;19(5)452-458. doi10.36849/JDD.2020.4930.Background Previous results from two phase 3 studies demonstrated efficacy and safety of fixed combination halobetasol propionate 0.01%/tazarotene 0.045% (HP/TAZ) lotion in participants with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. This post hoc analysis evaluated sex-specific efficacy and safety of HP/TAZ lotion. Methods In two randomized, double-blind, phase 3 studies, participants were randomized (21) to receive HP/TAZ or vehicle lotion once daily for 8 weeks. Male and female participants were evaluated separately in this pooled analysis. Efficacy assessments included treatment success (at least 2‑grade improvement in Investigator's Global Assessment [IGA] score and score of clear/almost clear), impact on individual signs of psoriasis, and affected Body Surface Area (BSA). Results The analysis included 272 males (HP/TAZ, n=175; vehicle, n=97) and 146 females (HP/TAZ, n=101; vehicle, n=45). Significantly more participants achieved overall treatment success at week 8 with HP/TAZ versus vehicle in both male (38.4% vs 9.8%) and female (44.5% vs 9.9%) subgroups (P less then 0.001, both). Erythema, plaque elevation, and scaling were also reduced by week 8 in both males and females, with significantly more HP/TAZ-treated participants achieving at least 2‑grade improvement in each sign of psoriasis than vehicle-treated participants (P less then 0.001 each, both groups). Mean reductions in affected BSA were significantly greater with HP/TAZ versus vehicle lotion in both males and females (P≤0.001, both). The most frequent treatment-related adverse events were contact dermatitis, pruritis, and application site pain (each 4.0%) in females and contact dermatitis (7.6%) in males. Conclusion HP/TAZ lotion was highly effective and safe in both males and females with moderate-to-severe psoriasis over 8 weeks of once-daily use. J Drugs Dermatol. 2020;19(5) doi10.36849/JDD.2020.5021.Psoriasis is associated with physical, psychological, social, and economic burdens that lead to substantial impairment over a patient’s lifetime. It is important to understand how different skin clearance levels may relate to patient perceptions of psoriasis symptoms and health-related quality of life. Here, we highlight notable advantages to complete skin clearance relative to high levels of efficacy without complete skin clearance, including meaningful improvements in patient-reported signs and symptoms of psoriasis, a higher mean proportion of symptom-free days, and significant improvements in quality of life. We also review biologic therapies associated with high percentages of complete skin clearance and significant improvements in signs and symptoms of psoriasis, notably brodalumab. These therapies are likely to play important roles in the future treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis, given that improvement in quality of life is of significant value relative to biologics or other systemic therapies associated with lower rates of complete skin clearance. J Drugs Dermatol. 2020;19(5) doi10.36849/JDD.2020.4957.Multiple primary melanomas (MPMs) have been reported to occur in 2-10% of melanoma patients. This study conducted a review of the literature to elucidate the definitions of terminology used to describe MPMs that were diagnosed in close temporal proximity as well as explore common risk factors. Terminology found in the literature included “concurrent”, “simultaneous” and “synchronous” with varying definitions that ranged from 0-6 months between diagnoses of the first and subsequent melanomas. Eight cases are described in chronological order, and the incidence of MPMs diagnosed around the same time were reported as 22-39%. Nevus spilus was identified as a potential risk factor for MPMs. This study highlights that MPMs are not uncommon, and clinicians should remain aware that MPMs can be diagnosed at or around the same time, warranting thorough skin exams. J Drugs Dermatol. 2020;19(5) doi10.36849/JDD.2020.4953.Background Mohs micrographic surgery is a safe procedure with low rates of infection. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/ITF2357(Givinostat).html Objective To establish current antibiotic prescribing practices amongst Mohs surgeons. Methods and materials 16-question survey sent to American College of Mohs Surgery members. Results 305 respondents with collectively 7,634+ years of experience. The majority performed outpatient surgery (95.0%) and avoided oral or topical antibiotics for routine cases (67.7% and 62.8%, respectively). Prophylactic antibiotics were routinely prescribed for artificial cardiac valves (69.4%), anogenital surgery (53.0%), wedge excision (42.2%), artificial joints (41.0%), extensive inflammatory skin disease (40.1%), immunosuppression (38.9%), skin grafts (36.4%), leg surgery (34.2%), and nasal flaps (30.1%). A minority consistently swabbed the nares to check for staphylococcus aureus carriage (26.7%) and decolonized carriers prior to surgery (28.0%). Conclusion Disparity exists in antibiotic prescribing practices amongst Mohs surgeons. There may be under-prescription of antibiotics for high risk factors like nasal flaps, wedge excisions, skin grafts, anogenital/lower extremity site, and extensive inflammatory disease. Conversely, there may be over-prescription for prosthetic joints or cardiac valves. Increased guideline awareness may reduce post-operative infections and costs/side effects from antibiotic over-prescription. J Drugs Dermatol. 2020;19(5) doi10.36849/JDD.2020.4695.Background Dermatologic adverse events (dAEs) secondary to anticancer treatments reduce patients’ quality of life (QOL) and result in interruptions in anticancer therapy. Objective Determine if a comprehensive supportive oncodermatology program improves patients’ QOL scoring. Methods This was a cross-sectional survey of adult cancer patients enrolled in the George Washington University Supportive Oncodermatology Clinic. All patients were above age 18 years and received dermatologic care between May 1, 2017 and November 1, 2019. Fifty-five patents meeting inclusion criteria were invited to complete an online survey with questions adapted from the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ-18). Results Survey initiation rate was 61.8% (34/55) and completion rate 88.2% (30/34). Average QOL score prior to treatment was 6.5 (moderate effect on QOL) and 3.8 (small effect) afterwards (P=0.0005; 95% CI -3.9 to -1.). Average satisfaction score was 4.15 ± 0.7 (satisfied). Impact on treatment adherence earned the lowest score (3.
