Treatment-emergent eosinophilia (≥5,000 cells/mcL) was reported in1:
-
<3% of DUPIXENT-treated subjects and <0.5% of placebo-treated
subjects (SOLO 1, SOLO 2, and AD-1021; DRI12544, QUEST, and VOYAGE;
SINUS-24 and SINUS-52; PRIME and PRIME2)g - 8% of DUPIXENT-treated subjects and 0% of placebo-treated subjects (AD-1539)
The safety profile in AD-HAFT through Week 16 was consistent with the safety profile from studies in adult
and pediatric subjects 6
months of age and older with moderate-to-severe atopic
dermatitis.2
aPooled analysis of SOLO 1, SOLO 2, and AD-1021 (phase 2 dose-ranging study).1
bAnalysis of CHRONOS in which subjects were on background TCS therapy.1
cDUPIXENT 600 mg at Week 0, followed by 300 mg every 2 weeks.1
dConjunctivitis cluster includes conjunctivitis, allergic conjunctivitis, bacterial conjunctivitis, viral conjunctivitis, giant papillary conjunctivitis, eye irritation, and eye inflammation.1
eKeratitis cluster includes keratitis, ulcerative keratitis, allergic keratitis, atopic keratoconjunctivitis, and ophthalmic herpes simplex.1
fOther herpes simplex virus infection cluster includes herpes simplex, genital herpes, herpes simplex otitis externa, and herpes virus infection, but excludes eczema herpeticum.1
gDRI12544, QUEST, and VOYAGE are part of the asthma clinical trial program; SINUS-24 and SINUS-52 are part of the chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis clinical trial program; PRIME and PRIME2 are part of the prurigo nodularis clinical trial program.1
Numerically fewer adolescent patients treated with DUPIXENT developed skin infections compared with placebo in AD-1526 (11% vs 20%)2,h
h Data reflect adjudicated nonherpetic skin infections through Week 16.Long-term safety observed in adolescents
- The safety profile of DUPIXENT through Week 16 (in pivotal trials) and Week 52 (in an open-label extension trial) observed in adolescents was consistent with that seen in adults with atopic dermatitis
Discontinuation rates in adolescents due to adverse events with DUPIXENT were comparable to those with placebo2,3
- 0% of adolescent patients treated with DUPIXENT discontinued treatment through Week 16 vs 1.2% of adolescent patients treated with placebo discontinued through Week 16 (AD-1526)
Patients should discontinue DUPIXENT if a clinically significant hypersensitivity reaction occurs or until a parasitic (helminth) infection resolves in a patient who does not respond to anti-helminth treatment.1
Consider completing all age-appropriate vaccinations as recommended by current immunization guidelines prior to initiating treatment with DUPIXENT1
- Avoid use of live vaccines during treatment with DUPIXENT1
