Dupilumab Efficacy and Safety in Moderate-to-Severe Uncontrolled Asthma

Abstract

In this trial, patients who received dupilumab had significantly lower rates of severe asthma exacerbation than those who received placebo, as well as better lung function and asthma control. Greater benefits were seen in patients with higher baseline levels of eosinophils. Hypereosinophilia was observed in some patients.
