Management approaches in moderate-to-severe AD should address the persistent underlying Type 2 inflammation

Three types of immune response play a natural protective role against different pathogens, the Type 2 immune response drives AD specifically2–4
Broad spectrum immunosuppressants do not specifically inhibit Type 2 inflammatory pathway5–7

Non-specific mechanisms may result in unwanted side effects and the need for lab monitoring, limiting traditional systemic treatments as long-term therapeutic options2,5–10

IL-4 and IL-13 drive Type 2 inflammation

IL-4 and IL-13 are key Type 2 cytokines involved in the pathogenesis of AD2,4

DUPIXENT targets Type 2 inflammation

DUPIXENT inhibits IL-4 and IL-13 signalling, and reduces persistent underlying Type 2 inflammation in AD1,20

DUPIXENT demonstrated a safety profile in clinical studies that is consistent in adults, adolescents and children1

DUPIXENT has a long-term safety and tolerability profile that has been investigated up to 3 years in clinical trials in adults1,21
The long-term safety profile seen in adults is consistent with the safety profile of adolescents and children, seen at 16 weeks1,22,23
DUPIXENT does not require routine laboratory monitoring1
