Comorbidities

DUPIXENT DEMONSTRATED EFFICACY EVEN IN CHILDREN WITH TYPE 2 COMORBIDITIES

DUPIXENT led to a greater proportion of children achieving histologic remission and histologic response vs placebo at Week 16, regardless of type 2 comorbidities1,2

Body Weight

FOR CHILDREN STRUGGLING WITH EoE, BODY-WEIGHT-FOR-AGE PERCENTILE IMPROVED ON DUPIXENT

DUPIXENT offered children improvement in body-weight-for-age percentile at Week 16 with continued improvement through Week 521,2

CHILDREN RECEIVING DUPIXENT MOVED UP TOWARD HIGHER BODY WEIGHT PERCENTILES1

aThe change from baseline to Week 16 in body weight-for-age percentile was +3.09 units with DUPIXENT (from a baseline of 47.2, n=37) and +0.29 with placebo (from a baseline of 47.7, n=32); (exploratory endpoint). The change from baseline at Week 52 in body weight-for-age percentile was +5.96 units with DUPIXENT (n=35) and +5.48 for patients who switched from placebo to DUPIXENT at Week 16 (n=16).
