Treatment-emergent eosinophilia (≥5000 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); BOREAS and NOTUS; CUPID-A, CUPID-B, and CUPID-C)g
  • 8% of DUPIXENT-treated subjects and 0% of placebo-treated subjects (AD-1539)

Consider completing all age-appropriate vaccinations as recommended by current immunization guidelines prior to initiating treatment with DUPIXENT.1

  • Avoid use of live vaccines during treatment with DUPIXENT

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 polyps clinical trial program; PRIME and PRIME2 are part of the prurigo nodularis clinical trial program; BOREAS and NOTUS are part of the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease clinical program; CUPID-A, CUPID-B, and CUPID-C are part of the chronic spontaneous urticaria clinical program.1

IN AN OPEN-LABEL EXTENSION (OLE) CLINICAL TRIAL IN ADULTS

Long-term safety profile through ≈5 years1

was generally consistent with AD controlled studies

  • Incidence of injection site reactions at 5 years was 14.70 events/100 patient-years2,a

aAD-1225 STUDY DESCRIPTION: The OLE safety data reflect exposure to DUPIXENT 200 mg QW, 300 mg QW, and 300 mg QW in 2677 subjects, who had varying lengths of treatment exposure (179 subjects exposed for at least 260 weeks). In DUPIXENT clinical trials, QW dosing did not demonstrate additional treatment benefit over Q2W dosing.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Hypersensitivity: Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), serum sickness or serum sickness-like reactions, angioedema, generalized urticaria, rash, erythema nodosum, and erythema multiforme have been reported. A case of AGEP was reported in an adult subject who participated in the bullous pemphigoid development program. If a clinically significant hypersensitivity reaction occurs, institute appropriate therapy and discontinue DUPIXENT.
