INTRODUCTION
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) can be beneficial in the management of canine atopic dermatitis (cAD). A commercial product PCSO524 containing PUFA has demonstrated anti-inflammatory effects in dogs.
Hypothesis/Objectives:
To evaluate the efficacy of PCSO-524, in combination with oclacitinib in dogs with cAD.
Animals:
Seventeen client-owned dogs with cAD.
Materials and Methods:
A randomised, double-blinded, controlled trial. All dogs were treated with oclacitinib (0.4–0.6mg/kg) twice a day for 14days, then once a day until Day (D)42. They were randomly divided into two groups: PCSO-524 (n=9) and sunflower oil (n=8). Clinical status was assessed by Canine Atopic Dermatitis Extent and Severity Index, 4th iteration (CADESI-04) and pruritus Visual Analog Scale (pVAS) at baseline (D0), D14, D28 and D42. Trans epidermal water loss (TEWL) was measured at the same time points.
Results:
CADESI scores decreased significantly after treatment and there was a significant difference between the PCSO-524 and the control group at D28 (p=0.04) and D42 (p=0.03). The PCSO-524 group also demonstrated a significantly decreased pVAS on D28 and D42 (p<0.001 and p<0.001) compared to D0, while significant differences were observed in the control group at D14 and D28 (p<0.01 and p=0.04) and not at D42 (p=0.12). The mean TEWL showed a significant decrease at D28 and D42 in the PCSO-524 group, compared to the control group (p=0.002 and p<0.001).
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance:
The combination of PCSO-524 and oclacitinib may help to alleviate the rebound effect that occurs when tapering down the dosage of oclacitinib, as compared to using oclacitinib alone for the management of cAD.
