Positive Dupixent® (dupilumab) data across five diseases with underlying type 2 inflammation to be presented at 2022 AAAAI Annual Meeting

  • Late-breaking pivotal data show significant disease improvements in eosinophilic esophagitis and also in chronic spontaneous urticaria
  • 18 abstracts add to body of evidence that IL-4 and IL-13 pathways inhibited by Dupixent are key drivers of the type 2 inflammation underlying certain diseases, accounting for the impact of Dupixent in its approved and investigational indications
  • Data support the well-established safety profile of Dupixent

February 1, 2022

Positive Dupixent® (dupilumab) data across five diseases with underlying type 2 inflammation will be presented at the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (AAAAI) Annual Meeting from February 25 to 28. The five diseases include eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) and atopic dermatitis. Additionally, positive results from two Phase 3 trials in a sixth indication, prurigo nodularis, were recently announced and will be presented at a separate medical meeting later this year.

Abstracts being presented at the AAAAI meeting have been published in an online supplement to The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology and include:

Late-breaking Abstracts

New pivotal data showing significant disease improvements in EoE and CSU will be presented for the first time. The use of Dupixent in these diseases is currently under clinical investigation and its safety and efficacy have not been fully evaluated by any regulatory authority.

About Dupixent

Dupixent is a fully human monoclonal antibody that inhibits the signaling of the interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) pathways. Dupixent is not an immunosuppressant and does not require lab monitoring. IL-4 and IL-13 are key and central drivers of the type 2 inflammation that plays a major role in atopic dermatitis, asthma and CRSwNP.

Dupixent is currently approved in the U.S., Europe, Japan and other countries around the world for use in specific patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, as well as certain patients with asthma or CRSwNP in different age populations. Dupixent is also approved in one or more of these indications in more than 60 countries around the world and more than 350,000 patients have been treated globally.

Dupilumab Development Program

Dupilumab is being jointly developed by Sanofi and Regeneron under a global collaboration agreement. To date, dupilumab has been studied across 60 clinical trials involving more than 10,000 patients with various chronic diseases driven in part by type 2 inflammation.

In addition to the currently approved indications, Sanofi and Regeneron are studying dupilumab in a broad range of diseases driven by type 2 inflammation or other allergic processes, including pediatric atopic dermatitis (6 months to 5 years of age, Phase 3), eosinophilic esophagitis (Phase 3), prurigo nodularis (Phase 3), chronic spontaneous urticaria (Phase 3), chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyposis (Phase 3), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with evidence of type 2 inflammation (Phase 3), bullous pemphigoid (Phase 3), chronic inducible urticaria-cold (Phase 3), allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (Phase 3), allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (Phase 3) and peanut allergy (Phase 2). These potential uses of dupilumab are currently under clinical investigation, and the safety and efficacy in these conditions have not been fully evaluated by any regulatory authority.
