Head-to-head evidence

QLM3003 vs upadacitinib

Same mechanism, same race: design-graded trial evidence for both assets, with the grading rationale shown. Grades describe the quality of the evidence, never the merits of either security.

QLM3003

Developed by Qilu Pharmaceutical

Phase 3 in Atopic Dermatitissmall molecule
Partial signal

NCT06058000 · Phase 2 · completed

The study was randomized, quadruple-blind, placebo-controlled, and enrolled 120 participants, with a clinical disease-activity endpoint (EASI-75). However, no primary endpoint results or statistical comparison are available, so the trial provides well-designed but currently incomplete evidence.

Next expected readout: March 2027 · NCT06880276 (registry estimate)

upadacitinib · Rinvoq

Marketed by AbbVie

Approved in Atopic DermatitisSmall molecule (JAK1-selective inhibitor)
Reliable signal

NCT03607422 · Phase 3 · completed

Participants were randomized and the trial was quadruple-blinded and placebo-controlled in 912 adolescents and adults. Both co-primary endpoints -- a 75% reduction in the validated Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI75) and clearance or near-clearance on the validated Investigator Global Assessment -- were clearly met for both upadacitinib doses versus placebo at week 16 (p<0.001 for all comparisons).

Next expected readout: January 2027 · NCT06701331 (registry estimate)
