long-term reduction in the frequency and severity of dysphagia1,2

Reduction in DSQ score: 64% at week 24 and 81% at week 52a

Part A (Coprimary Endpoint at Week 24)

  • Week 4: 9-point reduction (28%) from baseline with DUPIXENT (n=42) vs 4-point reduction (11%) with placebo (n=39)
  • Week 24: 21.9-point reduction (69%) from baseline with DUPIXENT (n=42) vs 9.6-point reduction (32%) with placebo (n=39) (P<0.001)

Part A-C (Secondary Endpoint)

  • Week 52: 23.4-point reduction (76%) from baseline after 52 weeks of treatment with DUPIXENT (n=29)
  • Week 52: 21.7-point reduction (66%) from baseline after switching to DUPIXENT from placebo at Week 24 (n=23)

Results are descriptive in the extended active treatment period at Week 52. Definitive conclusions cannot be made due to limitations associated with extended active treatment design, including lack of comparator arm and decreasing sample size.

Week 4 assessment is a post hoc analysis; results are descriptive.

aTotal biweekly DSQ scores range from 0 to 84; higher scores indicate greater frequency and severity of dysphagia.

A patient-reported assessment that measures the frequency and severity of dysphagia over a 14-day period; higher score indicates greater frequency and severity of dysphagia
