None led to treatment discontinuation.2 ‡Folliculitis was assessed through the end of the monitoring period, defined as through 30 days following the last dose of RINVOQ or 84 days following the last dose of dupilumab, regardless of any study drug interruption.2 §All opportunistic infections were eczema herpeticum.2 ||Keratoacanthoma: no reasonable possibility of association with the study drug according to the investigator.2 ¶Hepatic disorders: most were elevated transaminases.2 ‡‡ Invasive ductal breast carcinoma, reasonable possibility of relationship to study drug assessed by investigator.
