Summary

The main objective of the trial is to demonstrate the efficacy of dupilumab administered concomitantly with topical corticosteroids (TCS) in participants ≥6 years to <12 years of age with severe atopic dermatitis (AD). The secondary objective is to assess the safety of dupilumab administered concomitantly with TCS in patients ≥6 years to <12 years of age with severe AD.

  • Immunosuppressive/immunomodulating drugs (e.g, systemic corticosteroids, cyclosporine, mycophenolate-mofetil, interferon gamma, Janus kinase inhibitors, azathioprine, methotrexate, etc.)
  • Phototherapy for AD
  • Treatment with biologics, as follows:
  • Any cell-depleting agents including but not limited to rituximab:

within 6 months before the baseline visit, or until lymphocyte and CD 19+ lymphocyte count returns to normal, whichever is longer

  • Other biologics: within 5 half-lives (if known) or 16 weeks before the baseline visit, whichever is longer
  • Treatment with a live (attenuated) vaccine within 4 weeks before the baseline visit
  • Body weight <15 kg at baseline
