DUPIXENT was studied in 2 pivotal trials of adult patients with prurigo nodularis
PRIME and PRIME2 assessed the effect of DUPIXENT on itch improvement, as well as its effect on PN nodules.1,2
- ≈3x as many patients had significantly reduced itch (as measured by ≥4-point
improvement in WI-NRS) in PRIME at Week 24 (60%
with DUPIXENT vs 18% with placebo; P<0.0001) - ≈2.5x as many patients achieved significant nodule clearance in PRIME at Week 24 (48% with DUPIXENT vs 18% with placebo; P=0.0004)
PRIME2
- 37% of DUPIXENT patients achieved a meaningful response at Week 12 vs 22% with placebo; P=0.0216 [primary endpoint]. At Week 24, 58% of DUPIXENT patients achieved significant itch relief vs 20% with placebo; P<0.0001 [secondary endpoint]
- 45% of DUPIXENT patients similarly achieved significant nodule clearance (IGA PN-S 0 or 1) at Week 24 vs 16% with placebo; P<0.0001 [secondary endpoint]
Demonstrated safety profile
- Most common adverse reactions in adult patients with prurigo nodularis (incidence ≥2%) were nasopharyngitis, conjunctivitis, herpes infection, dizziness, myalgia, and diarrhea1
- No patients treated with DUPIXENT (0%) discontinued treatment due to adverse events vs 3% with placebo1
- 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 treatment1
