Sanofi and Regeneron hit goals with Phase III dupilumab study for atopic dermatitis

6 June 2016

US biotech firm Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: REGN) and French pharma major Sanofi (Euronext: SAN) have announced that their Phase III study of investigational drug dupilumab to treat adults with severe atopic dermatitis (AD) has met its primary and key secondary endpoints.

In the trial, dupilumab with topical corticosteroids (TCS) was compared to TCS alone in moderate-to-severe AD patients. Patients in the study were inadequately controlled by topical corticosteroids (TCS) with or without topical calcineurin inhibitors (TCI).

Dupilumab with TCS significantly improved measures of overall disease severity at 16 and 52 weeks, when compared to placebo with TCS.
