FDA grants priority review for Dupixent (dupilumab) as potential treatment for adolescents with uncontrolled moderate to severe atopic dermatitis
6 November 2018 - Regeneron Pharmaceuticals and Sanofi today announced that the U.S. FDA has accepted for priority review the supplemental biologics license application for Dupixent (dupilumab) in adolescent patients 12 to 17 years of age with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, whose disease was inadequately controlled with topical therapies or for whom topical treatment was medically inadvisable.
Currently, there are no FDA-approved systemic biologic medicines to treat adolescents with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. The target action date for the FDA decision is 11 March 2019.
The application is supported by data from a pivotal Phase 3 trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of Dupixent monotherapy in adolescent patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, which were presented at the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology in September 2018.
