Main objective

Scope: Therapy

demonstrate the non-inferiority of a step down dosage strategy (injection spacing) of dupilumab as compared with maintenance of initial treatment, on long-term control of the disease severity at one year in adolescents and adults patients with controlled AD.

Secondary objectives 5

  1. assess the efficacy of a tapering dosage strategy of dupilumab among patients (adolescents from 12 years old and adults) with controlled AD as compared to the standard maintenance strategy on the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) at M4, M8, M12
  2. assess the efficacy of a tapering dosage strategy of dupilumab among patients (adolescents from 12 years old and adults) with controlled AD as compared to the standard maintenance strategy on the Investigator Global assessment (IGA) at M4, M8, M12
  3. assess the efficacy of a tapering dosage strategy of dupilumab among patients (adolescents from 12 years old and adults) with controlled AD as compared to the standard maintenance strategy on the Itch numerical rating scale at M4, M8, M12
  4. assess the efficacy of a tapering dosage strategy of dupilumab among patients (adolescents from 12 years old and adults) with controlled AD as compared to the standard maintenance strategy on the economic efficiency as assessed by a cost-utility analysis performed from a collective perspective (i.e. considering direct costs borne by all involved stakeholders) and a 1-year time horizon
  5. assess the efficacy of a tapering dosage strategy of dupilumab among patients (adolescents from 12 years old and adults) with controlled AD as compared to the standard maintenance strategy on thee DQI (Dermatology Life Quality Index) at M4, M8, M12 or CDLQI (Children Dermatology Life Quality Index) for children under 16
