(ITT POPULATION)
Consistently prevented severe exacerbations in patients with no minimum biomarker requirement when added to SOC1,b,c
No statistically significant differences were observed during the 52-week treatment period in patients with baseline blood eosinophils <150 cells/µL taking DUPIXENT 200 mg or 300 mg + SOC and in the ≥150 to <300 cells/µL eosinophil subgroup treated with DUPIXENT 200 mg + SOC vs matching placebo + SOC.1
- a Severe exacerbations were defined as deterioration of asthma requiring the use of systemic corticosteroids for at least 3 days or hospitalization or emergency department visit due to asthma that required systemic corticosteroids.1
- b ITT population was unrestricted by minimum baseline eosinophils or other Type 2 biomarkers (eg, FeNO or IgE).3
- c For inclusion in the study, all patients were required to have had ≥1 severe asthma exacerbation in the prior year. Placebo-treated patients with greater numbers of prior exacerbations had greater numbers of exacerbations during the treatment period. A severe asthma exacerbation was defined as deterioration of asthma requiring the use of systemic corticosteroids for ≥3 days or asthma-related hospitalization or emergency department visit requiring systemic corticosteroids between the first dose and last dose plus 14 days. Subjects with baseline blood eosinophil levels >1500 cells/µL (<1.3%) were excluded.1,4
