Majority of patients in this age group with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) receiving Dupixent achieved histologic remission, with improvements sustained up to one year Dupixent is the first and only treatment indicated for EoE in the U.S. for this age group TARRYTOWN, N.Y. and PARIS, June 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN) and Sanofi today announced the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) has published results from a positive Phase 3 trial for Dupixent® (dupilumab) in children aged 1 to 11 years with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). The trial showed a greater proportion of those receiving weight-tiered higher dose Dupixent experienced significant improvements in many key disease measures of EoE, compared to placebo at week 16. Data from the trial were the basis for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Priority Review and approval of Dupixent in children aged 1 to 11 years with EoE weighing at least 15 kg, as well as for the regulatory submission that is currently under review by the European Medicines Agency for this age group. EoE is a chronic, progressive disease associated with type 2 inflammation that is thought to be responsible for damaging the esophagus and impairing its function. Diagnosis is difficult, as symptoms can be mistaken for other conditions and there are delays in diagnosis. EoE can severely impact a child’s ability to eat and may also cause abdominal pain, trouble swallowing, heartburn, vomiting and failure to thrive. Continuous management of EoE may be needed to reduce the risk of complications and disease progression. “The NEJM publication of these Phase 3 dupilumab results is a testament to the importance of these data and potential for dupilumab to change the standard of care for many young children with eosinophilic esophagitis. These children commonly experience feeding difficulties, food refusal and failure to thrive during a critical time of their growth and development,” said Mirna Chehade, MD, MPH, Mount Sinai Center for Eosinophilic Disorders, Ichan School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY, and principal investigator of the trial. “These data showed weight-tiered higher dose dupilumab significantly improved key eosinophilic esophagitis histologic, endoscopic and cellular measures in children as young as 1 year old with sustained results for up to one year. These results reinforce the positive results seen in older patients with eosinophilic esophagitis and strengthen our understanding of IL-4 and IL-13 as key drivers of the type 2 inflammation underlying this disease.” As published, a significantly greater proportion of children receiving either a weight-tiered higher or lower dose regimen of Dupixent achieved histologic remission at week 16 in Part A of the trial, compared with placebo. Additionally, those treated with higher dose Dupixent experienced significant improvements in disease severity assessed by endoscopic measures, with improvements sustained for up to one year. Those receiving lower dose Dupixent experienced improvements that were either comparable or numerically lower than the higher dose group. Dupixent also led to a numerical improvement in body weight for age percentile by week 16 that was sustained at one year, which was evaluated as an exploratory endpoint in Part A and a secondary endpoint in Part B. Safety results were generally consistent with the known safety profile of Dupixent in adolescents and adults with EoE. Adverse events more commonly observed with Dupixent (³10%) in either weight-based dosing regimen versus placebo in the trial were COVID-19, nausea, injection site pain and headache during Part A. The long-term safety profile of Dupixent in children aged 1 to 11 years through Part B was similar to that observed during Part A. In Part B, one case of helminth infection was reported with Dupixent. For patients in the U.S. with EoE weighing at least 15 kg., the FDA-approved dosage for Dupixent is 200 mg or 300mg every other week, or 300mg weekly, based on weight. Dr. Mirna Chehade has served as a paid consultant for Regeneron and Sanofi and has received research grant funding from Regeneron. About the Dupixent Pediatric Eosinophilic Esophagitis TrialThe Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of Dupixent in children aged 1 to 11 years with EoE. Part A enrolled 102 patients and evaluated Dupixent at a weight-tiered higher dose or lower dose regimen, compared to placebo, for 16 weeks. Part B was a 36-week extended active treatment period in which eligible children from Part A in the Dupixent group maintained their higher or lower dose level, while those in the placebo group switched to higher or lower dose Dupixent. The primary endpoint was histologic remission at 16 weeks, and secondary endpoints included assessments of endoscopic and histopathologic measures of the severity of disease along with clinical signs and symptoms of EoE. Change in body weight-for-age percentile was evaluated as an exploratory endpoint in Part A and as a secondary endpoint in Part B. The trial is ongoing with a 108-week open-label extension period (Part C) to evaluate longer-term outcomes. About DupixentDupixent, which was invented using Regeneron’s proprietary VelocImmune® technology, is a fully human monoclonal antibody that inhibits the signaling of the interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) pathways and is not an immunosuppressant. The Dupixent development program has shown significant clinical benefit and a decrease in type 2 inflammation in Phase 3 trials, establishing that IL-4 and IL-13 are key and central drivers of the type 2 inflammation that plays a major role in multiple related and often co-morbid diseases. Dupixent has received regulatory approvals in more than 60 countries in one or more indications including certain patients with atopic dermatitis, asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP), eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), prurigo nodularis, and chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) in different age populations. More than 850,000 patients are being treated with Dupixent globally. About Regeneron’s VelocImmune® TechnologyRegeneron’s VelocImmune technology utilizes a proprietary genetically engineered mouse platform endowed with a genetically humanized immune system to produce optimized fully human antibodies. When Regeneron’s co-Founder, President and Chief Scientific Officer George D. Yancopoulos was a graduate student with his mentor Frederick W. Alt in 1985, they were the first to envision making such a genetically humanized mouse, and Regeneron has spent decades inventing and developing VelocImmune and related VelociSuite® technologies. Dr. Yancopoulos and his team have used VelocImmune technology to create a substantial portion of all original, FDA-approved or authorized fully human monoclonal antibodies. This includes REGEN-COV® (casirivimab and imdevimab), Dupixent, Libtayo® (cemiplimab-rwlc), Praluent® (alirocumab), Kevzara® (sarilumab), Evkeeza® (evinacumab-dgnb) and Inmazeb® (atoltivimab, maftivimab and odesivimab-ebgn). Dupilumab Development ProgramDupilumab is being jointly developed by Regeneron and Sanofi under a global collaboration agreement. To date, dupilumab has been studied across more than 60 clinical trials involving more than 10,000 patients with various chronic diseases driven in part by type 2 inflammation. In addition to the currently approved indications, Regeneron and Sanofi are studying dupilumab in a broad range of diseases driven by type 2 inflammation or other allergic processes in Phase 3 trials, including chronic spontaneous urticaria, chronic pruritus of unknown origin, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with evidence of type 2 inflammation and bullous pemphigoid. These potential uses of dupilumab are currently under clinical investigation, and the safety and efficacy in these conditions have not been fully evaluated by any regulatory authority. U.S. INDICATIONS DUPIXENT is a prescription medicine used: to treat adults and children 6 months of age and older with moderate-to-severe eczema (atopic dermatitis or AD) that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin (topical), or who cannot use topical therapies.
