E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab administered concomitantly with topical corticosteroids (TCS) |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab administered concomitantly with TCS. To assess the safety of dupilumab over 16 weeks of treatment when administered concomitantly with TCS in participants. To assess immunogenicity as determined by the incidence, titer, and clinical impact of treatment-emergent anti-drug antibodies (ADA) to dupilumab over time in pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) (aged ≥6 months to <18 years old) To assess the concentration of dupilumab in serum following administration concomitantly with TCS.
