Drug Overview
Dupilumab (Regeneron/Sanofi) is an injectable monoclonal antibody directed against the interleukin (IL)-4 receptor alpha subunit, which blocks signaling from both IL-4 and IL-13. Dupilumab is in Phase III development for both asthma and atopic dermatitis.
Analyst Outlook
While dupilumab (Regeneron/Sanofi) has demonstrated positive efficacy in its Phase IIb study and acts via a novel mechanism of action, inhibiting signaling of interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13, there are limited data currently available and the drug’s potential in asthma is not yet clear. Furthermore, dupilumab’s development for asthma lags behind several other biologics, with its pivotal Phase III Liberty Asthma Quest study initiated in April 2015. With limited data currently available, Datamonitor Healthcare does not provide a forecast for dupilumab in asthma at this time.
