Key clinical point: Long-term dupilumab treatment provides sustained clinical benefits and acceptable safety in children age 6-11 years with uncontrolled severe atopic dermatitis (AD).

Major finding: By week 52, 41% of patients achieved an Investigator’s Global Assessment score of 0 or 1, and 82% of patients achieved ≥75% improvement in the Eczema Area and Severity Index scores compared with the LIBERTY AD PEDS baseline. Treatment-emergent adverse events were mostly of mild or moderate severity.

Study details: This analysis of data from the LIBERTY AD PED-OLE study included 321 children (age 6-11 years) with severe AD who previously participated in LIBERTY AD PEDS and received 300 mg dupilumab every 4 weeks or an up-titrated weight-tiered dose of 200 or 300 mg dupilumab every 2 weeks.

Disclosures: This study was sponsored by Sanofi and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Seven authors declared being employees of or holding stocks or stock options in Sanofi or Regeneron. The other authors declared ties with various sources, including Sanofi and Regeneron.
