Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel Group Study to Assess the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of SAR231893/REGN668 Administered Subcutaneously Once Weekly for 12 Weeks in Patients With Persistent Moderate to Severe Eosinophilic Asthma Who Are Partially Controlled/Uncontrolled by Inhaled Corticosteroid Plus Long-acting beta2 Agonist Therapy

NCT01312961 Phase 2 COMPLETED Results posted

Primary Objective: To investigate the effects of Dupilumab (SAR231893/REGN668) administered subcutaneously (SC) once weekly (qw) for 12 weeks as compared to placebo on reducing the incidence of asthma exacerbation in participants with persistent moderate to severe eosinophilic asthma. Secondary Objectives: * To assess the safety and tolerability of Dupilumab administered SC qw for 12 weeks in participants with persistent moderate to severe eosinophilic asthma. * To assess Dupilumab serum concentrations following qw SC dosing for 12 weeks in participants with persistent moderate to severe eosinophilic asthma.

Primary outcomes

• Percentage of Participants With Asthma Exacerbation — Baseline up to Week 12
  An asthma exacerbation was defined as the occurrence of any of the following: ≥30% reduction from baseline in morning PEF on 2 consecutive days; or ≥6 additional reliever puffs of albuterol or levalbuterol in a 24-hour period (compared to baseline) on 2 consecutive days; or deterioration of asthma, as determined by the investigator, requiring systemic steroid treatment, or an increase in inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) of ≥4 times the last dose received prior to discontinuation from the study, or hospitalization.
