Dear Editor, As far as different indexes are used in different clinical trials, comparing the results of multiple clinical trials is impossible. For clinical trials for atopic dermatitis (AD), the core outcome set was developed to resolve this issue. 1 The Atopic Dermatitis Control Tool (ADCT) is a validated instrument for evaluating long-term disease control in AD. 2, 3 However, no studies have reported on the use of ADCT in real-world clinical practice. Dupilumab, a dual inhibitor of interleukin (IL) 4 and IL-13, is approved for use in the treatment of moderate-to-severe AD. Recently, dupilumab has been reported to show a longer drug survival than oral cyclosporine and, thus, may be useful for long-term control of AD. 4 Furthermore, the skin rash in AD can remain in remission after discontinuation of dupilumab therapy. 5 In this study, we investigated the usefulness of the ADCT in daily clinical practice for evaluating long-term disease control in patients with AD treated with dupilumab.This study was approved by the ethics review board of Hyogo College of Medicine and conducted in accordance with the guidelines of the Declaration of Helsinki. ADCT evaluation was performed in 109 patients with AD who started dupilumab therapy from April 2018 to July 2020 at our hospital (Figure 1A). Of these patients, five had not received dupilumab therapy (pre-dupilumab group), 45 were receiving dupilumab therapy (dupilumab group), 25 were in bio-free
