The primary endpoint was change from baseline in the proportion of subjects with an IGA 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear) and ≥2-point improvement at Week 16 (38% and 36% of patients treated with DUPIXENT vs 10% and 9% with placebo in SOLO 1 and SOLO 2, respectively, P<0.001; 39% of patients treated with DUPIXENT + TCS vs 12% with placebo + TCS in CHRONOS, P<0.0001). Other endpoints included change from baseline in the proportion of subjects with EASI-75 at Week 16 (improvement of ≥75%; 51% and 44% of patients treated with DUPIXENT vs 15% and 12% with placebo in SOLO 1 and SOLO 2, respectively, P<0.001; 69% of patients treated with DUPIXENT + TCS vs 23% with placebo + TCS in CHRONOS, P<0.0001) and itch reduction defined by ≥4-point improvement in the Peak Pruritus NRS at Week 16 (41% and 36% of patients treated with DUPIXENT vs 12% and 10% with placebo in SOLO 1 and SOLO 2, respectively, P<0.001; 59% of patients treated with DUPIXENT + TCS vs 20% with placebo + TCS in CHRONOS, P<0.0001).2-4
A total of 917 adults in SOLO 1 and SOLO 2 (16 weeks each) and 421 adults in CHRONOS (52 weeks) with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis inadequately controlled with topical prescription therapies were randomized to DUPIXENT or placebo. All patients in CHRONOS were treated with concomitant TCS. All patients who received DUPIXENT were given 300 mg Q2W after a 600 mg loading dose. Patients had an IGA score ≥3 on a scale of 0 to 4, an EASI score ≥16 on a scale of 0 to 72, and BSA involvement of ≥10%. At baseline, 52% had an IGA score of 3 (moderate), 48% had an IGA of 4 (severe), mean EASI score was 33, and weekly averaged Peak Pruritus NRS was 7 on a scale of 0 to 10.2
The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥1%) in patients with atopic dermatitis are injection site reactions, conjunctivitis, blepharitis, oral herpes, keratitis, eye pruritus, other herpes simplex virus infection, dry eye, and eosinophilia.2

My story
I’ve been seeing specialists for my moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis since I was 6 years old. It was uncontrolled on topical Rx therapies. Itching was the worst, but since DUPIXENT, it’s more under control. My skin has noticeably cleared up.
My signs and symptoms
- Flare-ups started as red patches of itchy skin
- Red patches would transition into more white, discolored patches that were still itchy
- I would get patches all over my body and my skin would crack and bleed
My treatment and goals
- I tried a number of different holistic remedies
- Prescription allergy medications and topical corticosteroids
- Treatments worked for a while, but they stopped working—I needed an option that I could take continuously and would last

My story
I was treated by a pediatrician starting at age 5 and later by a dermatologist. When they both ran out of ideas for my uncontrolled moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, I was referred to an allergist.
My signs and symptoms
- Persistent itch and cracking, peeling skin that would blister and ooze
- Lesions made it difficult for me to swim and perform musical theatre in costume
- My itch felt like a constant sunburn
My treatment and goals
- Oral and topical prescription steroids were not enough to help address the itch-scratch cycle
- I also tried immunosuppressants, UVB treatment 3 times a week, and bleach baths with no success
- I wanted itch relief—lasting change was my goal

My story
I was 3 years old when my pediatrician diagnosed me with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. It was uncontrolled on topical Rx therapies ever since and my biggest issue was itching. It’s hard to manage the constant itch!
My signs and symptoms
- Itchy skin and redness on ankles, back, elbows, feet, hands, knees, torso, and face
- Skin irritation affected me as a collegiate track runner
- Itch felt like bugs crawling on my skin and sometimes burning like fire
My treatment and goals
- Doctors prescribed oral and topical steroids throughout my life
- Steroids would work temporarily, but once treatment stopped working, my skin would get even worse
- I challenged my doctors to find something else, something to help relieve the constant itch
Adolescents, aged 12-17 years
The primary endpoint was change from baseline in the proportion of subjects with an IGA 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear) and ≥2-point improvement at Week 16 (24% of patients treated with DUPIXENT vs 2% with placebo, P<0.001). Other endpoints included change from baseline in the proportion of subjects with EASI-75 at Week 16 (improvement of ≥75%; 42% of patients treated with DUPIXENT vs 8% with placebo, P<0.001) and itch reduction defined by ≥4-point improvement in the Peak Pruritus NRS at Week 16 (37% of patients treated with DUPIXENT vs 5% with placebo, P<0.001).2,5
A total of 251 adolescents (12-17 years) in AD-1526 (16 weeks) with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis inadequately controlled with topical prescription therapies were randomized to DUPIXENT or placebo. Adolescents ≥60 kg received DUPIXENT 300 mg Q2W after a 600 mg loading dose, and adolescents <60 kg received 200 mg Q2W after a 400 mg loading dose. Patients had an IGA score ≥3 on a scale of 0 to 4, an EASI score ≥16 on a scale of 0 to 72, and BSA involvement of ≥10%. At baseline, 46% had an IGA score of 3 (moderate), 54% had an IGA of 4 (severe), mean EASI score was 36, and weekly averaged Peak Pruritus NRS was 8 on a scale of 0 to 10.2
The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥1%) in patients with atopic dermatitis are injection site reactions, conjunctivitis, blepharitis, oral herpes, keratitis, eye pruritus, other herpes simplex virus infection, dry eye, and eosinophilia. The safety profile in adolescents through Week 16 was similar to that of adults with atopic dermatitis. In an open-label extension study, the long-term safety profile of DUPIXENT in adolescents observed through Week 52 was consistent with that seen in adults with atopic dermatitis.2

Our story
Tyler has struggled to find control for his moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis since infancy. Before DUPIXENT, despite using topical Rx therapies, nonstop itching and flares defined his childhood. We wanted his skin to get better with another treatment option.
His signs and symptoms
- Itching throughout the day
- Extremely dry, scaly skin with severe rashes—sensitive areas such as his feet were a real problem
- He had oozing and crusting skin
His treatment and goals
- Topical prescription therapies worked for awhile, but they stopped working and were damaging to his skin
- Chlorine baths and wet wraps were also ineffective
- We had to find another treatment that was appropriate for long-term use

- Comorbid asthma currently managed with asthma medication
- Frustration with persistent itch throughout the day and night
Her treatment and goals
- Creams, moisturizers, phototherapy, bleach baths, and more

- Topical prescription treatments would work for awhile, but were not enough
- We wanted to break the cycle of topical Rxs and spend less time managing her skin
Children, aged 6-11 years
The primary endpoint was change from baseline in the proportion of subjects with an IGA 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear) at Week 16 (39% of patients ≥30 kg treated with DUPIXENT + TCS vs 10% with placebo + TCS, and 30% of patients <30 kg treated with DUPIXENT + TCS vs 13% with placebo + TCS). Other endpoints included change from baseline in the proportion of subjects with EASI-75 at Week 16 (improvement of ≥75%; 75% of patients ≥30 kg treated with DUPIXENT + TCS vs 26% with placebo + TCS, and 75% of patients <30 kg treated with DUPIXENT + TCS vs 28% with placebo + TCS) and itch reduction defined by ≥4-point improvement in the Peak Pruritus NRS at Week 16 (61% of patients ≥30 kg treated with DUPIXENT + TCS vs 13% with placebo + TCS, and 54% of patients <30 kg treated with DUPIXENT + TCS vs 12% with placebo + TCS).2
A total of 367 children (6-11 years) in AD-1652 (16 weeks) with severe atopic dermatitis inadequately controlled with topical prescription therapies were randomized to DUPIXENT + TCS or placebo + TCS. Patients ≥30 kg but <60 kg received 200 mg Q2W after a 400 mg loading dose. Patients 15 kg but <30 kg received 300 mg Q4W after a 600 mg loading dose. Patients had an IGA score of 4, an EASI score ≥21, and BSA involvement ≥15%. Mean EASI score was 37.9 and weekly averaged Peak Pruritus NRS was 7.8 on a scale of 0 to 10.2
