IL-4 and IL-13 are key drivers of Type 2 inflammation in severe asthma2–5
Patients with severe asthma risk mortality and corticosteroid-related morbidities6–9

DUPIXENT is indicated in patients 6 years and older as add-on maintenance treatment for severe asthma with Type 2 inflammation characterised by raised blood eosinophils (EOS) and/or raised fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), who are inadequately controlled with high-dose inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) plus another medicinal product for maintenance treatment1
No single biomarker fully captures the complexity of Type 2 inflammation in asthma3,4,10–13
DUPIXENT was studied in one Phase 2b and two Phase 3 clinical trials including 2,888 patients aged ≥12 years, with uncontrolled moderate-to-severe and severe asthma for up to 52 weeks1
The safety profile of DUPIXENT has been explored in the complexity of Type 2 inflammation in asthma, studied up to 1 year1
DUPIXENT can support your severe asthma patients:
Adults, adolescents 12 years and older, and children aged 6-11 years old, as add on maintenance treatment for severe asthma
With Type 2 inflammation characterised by raised blood EOS and/or raised FeNO
Who are inadequately controlled with high-dose (12 years and older) and medium to high-dose (6 to 11 years) ICS plus another medicinal product or maintenance treatment.
