Successful Treatment of Brunsting-Perry Cicatricial Pemphigoid With Dupilumab.

Brunsting-Perry is a rare variant of cicatricial pemphigoid, characterized by subepidermal bullae localized to the head and neck. Currently, treatment relies on non-specific immunosuppression, which in many cases, does not lead to a remission of treatment or significant clinical improvement. Dupilumab, a human monoclonal antibody against IL-4 receptor alpha, has been shown to provide relief of allergic inflammatory lesions and is the first biologic agent approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. We present the case of a 63-year-old patient with history of Brunsting-Perry cicatricial pemphigoid who proved refractory to multiple conventional therapies but was successfully treated with a dupilumab regimen of 300 mg every two weeks. This case suggests the potential role of dupilumab in the management of Brunsting-Perry cicatricial pemphigoid. J Drugs Dermatol. 2021;20(10):1113-1115. doi:10.36849/JDD.6032.
