Pivotal Trial
No Placebo-Only Group
Summary
This trial is looking at the long-term safety and efficacy of dupilumab in children with asthma. They will also be looking at the exposure to the drug, any adverse reactions, and any biomarkers associated with the drug.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for children who have asthma and were part of a previous dupilumab study. They must have completed their treatment, given consent, and meet specific criteria like blood eosinophil count or FeNO levels. It's not open to those with certain relationships to the study team, language barriers, psychological disorders, prohibited treatments, hypersensitivity to dupilumab, other lung diseases besides asthma, autoimmune diseases requiring immunosuppression therapy or live vaccinations planned during the study.
What is being tested?
The trial tests the long-term safety and effectiveness of dupilumab in pediatric patients with uncontrolled persistent asthma. It includes monitoring drug exposure in the body, immune responses against the drug (ADAs), and various biomarkers related to asthma. The Japan sub-study focuses on children aged 6-11 with additional eligibility requirements.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include allergic reactions at injection sites such as redness or swelling; common cold symptoms; headache; sore throat; eye inflammation; stomach pain; potential increase in white blood cells.
