NCT03054428

Brief Summary

The primary objective of the study was to demonstrate the efficacy of dupilumab as a monotherapy in participants ≥12 years to \<18 years of age with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD). The secondary objective of the study was to assess the safety of dupilumab as a monotherapy in participants ≥12 years to \<18 years of age with moderate-to-severe AD.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Percentage of Participants With Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) 0 or 1 (and Reduction From Baseline of ≥2 Points) at Week 16

    IGA is an assessment scale used to determine severity of atopic dermatitis (AD) and clinical response to treatment on a 5-point scale (0 = clear; 1 = almost clear; 2 = mild; 3 = moderate; 4 = severe) based on erythema and papulation/infiltration. Therapeutic response was an IGA score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear). Participants with IGA "0" or "1" and a reduction from baseline of ≥2 points at Week 16 were reported. \[Values after first rescue treatment used were set to missing. Participants with missing score at week 16 were considered as a non-responder. Participant considered non-responder after rescue treatment use. Efficacy analyses were based on the treatment allocated at randomization (as randomized).\]

    Baseline and Week 16

  • Percentage of Participants With Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI)-75 (≥75% Improvement From Baseline) at Week 16

    The EASI score was used to measure the severity and extent of AD and measures erythema, infiltration, excoriation and lichenification on 4 anatomic regions of the body: head, trunk, upper and lower extremities. The total EASI score ranges from 0 (minimum) to 72 (maximum) points, with the higher scores reflecting the worse severity of AD. EASI--75 responders were the participants who achieved ≥75% overall improvement in EASI score from baseline to Week 16. \[Values after first rescue treatment used were set to missing. Participants with missing score at week 16 were considered as a non-responder. Participant considered nonresponder after rescue treatment use. Efficacy analyses were based on the treatment allocated at randomization (as randomized).\]

    Baseline and Week 16

Secondary Outcomes (18)

Study Arms (3)

Placebo

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants received placebo matching dupilumab once every 2 weeks (Q2W) (including doubling the amount of placebo on day 1 to match the loading dose). In order to maintain blinding for the study, participants in the \<60 kilogram (kg) weight stratum received, in a 1:1 ratio, either placebo matching 200 milligram (mg) dupilumab (including doubling the amount of placebo on day 1 to match the loading dose) or placebo matching 300 milligram (mg) dupilumab (including doubling the amount of placebo on day 1 to match the loading dose). In the ≥60 kg weight stratum, the participants randomized to the placebo group received placebo matching 300 mg dupilumab (including doubling the amount of placebo on day 1 to match the loading dose).

Drug: Placebo

Dupilumab 300 mg Q4W

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants received once every 4 weeks (Q4W) subcutaneous (SC) injections of 300 milligrams (mg) dupilumab following a loading dose of 600 mg on day 1. In order to maintain blinding, all participants received an injection once every 2 weeks (Q2W) from day 1 to week 14. Participants received placebo 2 milliliter (mL) injection at the weeks dupilumab was not given.

Drug: Dupilumab

Dupilumab 200 mg or 300 mg Q2W

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants with baseline weight \<60 kg received once every 2 weeks (Q2W) subcutaneous (SC) injections of 200 milligrams (mg) dupilumab following a loading dose of 400 mg on day 1. Participants with baseline weight ≥60 kg received Q2W SC injections of 300 mg dupilumab following a loading dose of 600 mg on day 1.

Drug: Dupilumab

Interventions

Subcutaneous injection among the different quadrants of the abdomen (avoiding navel and waist areas), upper thighs, and upper arms.
