Summary

This trial is a Phase 3 study that aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of dupilumab treatment in children aged 2 to under 6 years with uncontrolled asthma or recurrent severe ast

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children aged 2 to less than 6 with uncontrolled asthma or severe asthmatic wheeze, diagnosed with Atopic Dermatitis. They must have been on inhaled corticosteroids for at least a month and show allergic reactions to certain foods or airborne allergens. Parents need to understand study requirements and help their kids follow the protocol.
What is being tested?
The study tests Dupilumab's effectiveness and safety against a placebo over a year (Part A), followed by an optional second year (Part B). It's double-blind, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who gets the real drug during Part A.
What are the potential side effects?
While not specified here, Dupilumab may commonly cause injection site reactions, eye inflammation or irritation, cold sores in your mouth or throat. Serious side effects can include allergic reactions.
