DUPIXENT has been studied up to 1 year in nearly 3000 asthma patients1

  • The safety population (DRI12544 and QUEST) was 12-87 years of age, of which 63% were female and 82% were white. DUPIXENT 200 mg or 300 mg was administered subcutaneously Q2W, following an initial dose of 400 mg or 600 mg, respectively
  • In DRI12544 and QUEST, the proportion of subjects who discontinued treatment due to adverse events was 4% of the placebo + SOC group, 3% of the DUPIXENT 200 mg Q2W + SOC group, and 6% of the DUPIXENT 300 mg Q2W + SOC group

aInjection site reactions cluster includes erythema, edema, pruritus, pain, and inflammation.

bNone met the criteria for serious eosinophilic conditions.

  • The safety population (VENTURE) included all patients who received at least 1 dose or a partial dose of DUPIXENT or placebo; data were analyzed according to the regimen received

cAdverse events in this category were reported according to preferred terms in the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA), version 20.0.

dThe adverse event of eosinophilia in this table is a combination of the preferred items of eosinophil count increase (in 7% of the patients in the DUPIXENT group vs no patients in the placebo group) and eosinophilia (7% vs 1%).

eInjection site reaction is a high-level term in MedDRA.

DUPIXENT demonstrated up to ~3 years of safety data in >2200 asthma patients

  • Other TEAEs occurred in ≥1% in any treatment group in TRAVERSE, including but not limited to oropharyngeal pain and eosinophilia4

Primary endpoint results: 86% of patients enrolled from DRI12544, 79% of patients enrolled from QUEST, and 77% of patients enrolled from VENTURE experienced at least one TEAE up to Week 96 of the OLE period.4

  • In DRI12544 and QUEST, the adverse reactions that occurred at a rate of at least 1% in subjects treated with DUPIXENT and at a higher rate than in their respective comparator groups were injection site reactions, oropharyngeal pain, and eosinophilia (6-month safety pool)1

Long-term safety
profile was consistent
with that seen in the
placebo-controlled
parent studies4

OLE, open-label extension; TEAE, treatment-emergent adverse event.
