Dupixent's safety concerns unlikely to impact prescriptions, says analyst
Sanofi (Euronext: SAN) and Regeneron’s (Nasdaq: REGN) interleukin (IL)-13 and IL-4 blocking antibody Dupixent (dupilumab) is already an enormously successful drug, even though safety issues have been identified with its use.
Most recently, the UK’s Medicines, and Healthcare Regulatory Agency (MHRA) warned of some new and potentially serious eye-related side effects associated with Dupixent, eliciting a response from data and analytics firm GlobalData, which notes that, although this safety update will likely raise physician vigilance regarding long-term Dupixent use, it is unlikely to impact overall prescribing patterns for the product.
According to GlobalData, Dupixent is expected to gross $17.5 billion globally by 2030, outpacing all other agents in the space.
