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).
