-To evaluate the long-term efficacy of dupilumab in pediatric patients with asthma who participated in a previous dupilumab asthma clinical study.
-To evaluate dupilumab in pediatric patients with asthma who participated in a previous dupilumab
asthma clinical study with regard to:
-Systemic exposure.
-Anti-drug antibodies (ADAs).

Valutare l’efficacia a lungo termine di dupilumab in pazienti pediatrici con asma che abbiano partecipato a un precedente studio clinico di dupilumab nell’asma

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
-Any chronic lung disease other than asthma (eg, cystic fibrosis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia) which may impair lung function.
-Inability to follow the procedures of the study/noncompliance (eg, due to language problems or psychological disorders).
-Patients receiving concomitant treatment or required a new concomitant treatment prohibited in the study.
-Patients or his/her parent(s)/caregiver(s)/legal guardian(s) is related to the Investigator or any Sub-Investigator, research assistant, pharmacist, study coordinator, other staff thereof directly involved in the conduct of the study.
-Patients who experienced any hypersensitivity reactions to dupilumab in a previous dupilumab study, which, in the opinion of the Investigator, could indicate that continued treatment with dupilumab may present an unreasonable risk for the patient.
-Any abnormalities or adverse events at screening (last treatment visit in the study EFC14153 will be the screening visit) that per Investigator judgment would adversely affect patient’s participation in this study or would require permanent IMP discontinuation.
-For female patients who have commenced menstruating at any time during the study and are either:
-Found to have a positive urine pregnancy test, or
-Sexually active, not using an established acceptable contraceptive method.
-Planned live, attenuated vaccinations during the study.
-Patients with active autoimmune disease or patients using immunosuppressive therapy for autoimmune disease (eg, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, systemic lupus erythematosus) at enrollment. |
Qualsiasi malattia polmonare cronica diversa dall’asma (per esempio: fibrosi cistica, displasia broncopolmonare) che possa compromettere la funzionalità polmonare
Incapacità di seguire le procedure dello studio/non conformità (per esempio a causa di problemi linguistici o disturbi psicologici).
Pazienti che ricevano un trattamento concomitante o abbiano richiesto un nuovo trattamento concomitante proibito dallo studio.
Pazienti o loro genitori / caregiver(s) / tutori legali che siano correlati con lo Sperimentatore o qualsiasi co-sperimentatore, assistente di ricerca, farmacista, study coordinator, o altro personale direttamente coinvolto nella conduzione dello studio.
Pazienti che abbiano manifestato eventuali reazioni di ipersensibilità a dupilumab in un precedente studio con dupilumab, in base alle quali il proseguimento del trattamento con dupilumab può rappresentare, a giudizio dello sperimentatore, un rischio irragionevole per gli stessi.
Tutte le anomalie o gli eventi avversi al momento dell’arruolamento (l’ultima visita di trattamento dello studio EFC14153 corrisponderà alla visita di arruolamento) che, a giudizio dello sperimentatore, possano influire negativamente sulla partecipazione del paziente a questo studio o possano richiedere l’interruzione permanente dell’IMP.
Per pazienti di sesso femminile che abbiano il menarca in qualsiasi momento durante lo studio e sono:
• Risultate positive al test di gravidanza sulle urine, o
• Sessualmente attive, che non utilizzano un consolidato ed accettabile metodo contraccettivo.
- Vaccinazioni con virus vivi o attenuati pianificate durante lo studio
- Pazienti con patologie autoimmuni attive o pazienti che utilizzano terapie immunosuppressive per patologie autoimmuni (ad esempio, artrite idiopatica giovanile, malattia infiammatoria intestinale, lupus eritematoso sistemico) all’arruolamento
