A Study to Investigate the Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Dupilumab in Participants ≥2 Years to <12 Years of Age With Uncontrolled Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU) (LIBERTY-CSU CUPIDKids)

This was a multicenter, single-arm, 24-week treatment, Phase 3 study. The purpose of this study was to investigate the PK and safety of dupilumab in children diagnosed with CSU who remain symptomatic despite the use of H1-antihistamine treatment. Study details included: Screening: 2 to 4 weeks; The treatment duration was 24 weeks; Follow-up period: 12 weeks; The study duration was 38 to 40 weeks (including screening and follow-up); The number of study visits was 6.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Participant must be ≥ 2 years to <12 years of age, at the time of signing the informed consent.
  • Participants who had history of a diagnosis of CSU prior to screening (Visit 1) or symptoms consistent with a diagnosis of CSU for at least 3 months in the Investigator's opinion.

Exclusion criteria

Participants were excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply:

  • Underlying etiology for chronic urticarias other than CSU.
  • Presence of skin morbidities other than CSU that may interfere with the assessment of the study outcomes.
  • Participants with a diagnosis of chronic inducible cold urticaria.
  • Participants with active AD.
  • Severe concomitant illness(es) that, in the Investigator's judgment, would adversely affect the participant's participation in the study.
  • Participants with active tuberculosis (TB) or non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection, or a history of incompletely treated.
  • Diagnosed with, suspected of, or at high risk of endoparasitic infection.
  • Active chronic or acute infection requiring treatment with systemic antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals within 2 weeks before the screening visit or during the screening period.
  • Known or suspected immunodeficiency.
  • Active malignancy or history of malignancy within 5 years before the baseline visit.
  • History of systemic hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis to dupilumab including any excipient.
  • Participation in prior dupilumab clinical study or have been treated with commercially available dupilumab.

The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.

Treatment and study plan

Dupilumab

Drug

Injection solution Subcutaneous

Other names: Dupixent

Primary outcomes

  1. Serum Concentration of Dupilumab at Weeks 12 and 24

    Time frame: Weeks 12 and 24

    Blood samples were collected at specified timepoints to obtain dupilumab concentration.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs)

    Time frame: From the first dose of study intervention (Day 1) up to end of follow-up, maximum up to 36 weeks

    An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical trial participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to study intervention. Serious adverse event (SAE) was any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect or was an important medical event. TEAEs were defined as AEs that developed, worsened or became serious during the TE period.

  2. Number of Participants With Anti-drug Antibodies (ADAs) to Dupilumab

    Time frame: From the first dose of study intervention (Day 1) up to end of follow-up, maximum up to 36 weeks

    Blood samples were collected at specified timepoints and ADA samples were assayed using validated methods. Treatment-emergent ADA response was defined as a positive response in the ADA assay post first dose when baseline results were negative or missing. Number of participants with treatment-emergent ADA response is presented.

  3. Change From Baseline in Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (C-DLQI) in Participants Aged 4 Years to <12 Years at Week 24

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) and Week 24

    The C-DLQI assesses impact of skin disease on children's health-related quality of life (HRQoL) over the previous week, contains 10 questions related to symptoms feelings associated with disease, impact of disease on leisure, school or holidays, personal relationships, sleep, and side effects of treatment for the skin disease. All questions were scored on 4-point Likert scale:0 (not at all),1 (a little),2 (a lot),3 (very much). Total C-DLQI was calculated by summing the score of each question and ranged from 0 (no impact) to 30 (severe impact). Higher scores indicated poor HRQoL. Mean is presented. Baseline was defined as closest assessment to first study intervention administration on or prior to Day 1 but no later than Day 4.

  4. Change From Baseline in Infant's Dermatitis Quality of Life Index (IDQOL) in Participants Aged 2 Years to <4 Years at Week 24

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) and Week 24

    The IDQOL questionnaire is completed by child's caregiver/guardian with a recall period of 7 days;consists of 10 questions focusing on life quality index (LQI) scored on 4-point Likert scale. An additional question on dermatitis severity is scored on a 5-point Likert scale (0 [none] to 4 [extremely severe]); it is not considered for calculating total IDQOL. For LQI, score ranges are as follows: Questions 1, 5 to 10: 0 (none) to 3 (all the time/very much). Question 2: 0 (happy), 1 (slightly fretful), 2 (very fretful),3 (always crying). Question 3: 0 (0-15 minutes), 1 (15 minutes-1 hour), 2 (1-2 hours),3 (>2 hours).Question 4: 0 (<1 hour), 1 (1-2 hours), 2 (3-4 hours),3 (>=5 hours). IDQOL total score is the sum of the score of each question of LQI, ranges from 0 (no impact) to 30 (maximum impact). Higher scores indicated poor HRQoL. Mean is presented. Baseline was defined as closest assessment to first study intervention administration on or prior to Day 1 but no later than Day 4.

  5. Change From Baseline in Modified Urticaria Activity Score Over 7 Days (mUAS7) at Week 24

    Time frame: Baseline (Day -7 to Day 1) and Week 24

    A modified version of the UAS (mUAS) was used for the smaller body surface area of child and adolescent participants. The mUAS was derived from the sum of daily hives severity score (HSS) (ranging from 0 to 3 [0 = absent; 1 = mild {1 to <10 wheals/24 hours}; 2 = moderate: {10 to 30 wheals/24 hours}; and 3 = intense: {>30 wheals/24 hours or large confluent areas of wheals}]) and daily itch severity score (ISS) (ranging from 0 = none to 3 = intense). Daily mUAS total scores range from 0 to 6 (0 to 3 for ISS and 0 to 3 for HSS). Daily mUAS scores were summed over 7-day period to create total score ranging from 0 (no urticaria) to 42 (severe urticaria). Completion of mUAS7 was done by the child or parent(s)/caregiver(s)/legal guardian(s) for participants aged >=4 years and by parent(s)/caregiver(s) for participants aged <4 years. Mean is presented. Baseline was defined as sum of the 7 daily measurements obtained within the 7 days prior to first study intervention administration.

  6. Change From Baseline in Itch Severity Score Over 7 Days (ISS7) at Week 24

    Time frame: Baseline (Day -7 to Day 1) and Week 24

    The ISS represents severity of itch on a scale ranging from 0 (none) to 3 (intense). The ISS7 score was the sum of daily ISS scores recorded by a participant at the same time each day over 7 days with an overall scale of 0 (no impact) to 21 (severe impact). Higher scores indicated greater intensity of itch. Mean is presented. Baseline was defined as sum of the 7 daily measurements obtained within the 7 days prior to first study intervention administration.

  7. Change From Baseline in Hive Severity Score Over 7 Days (HSS7) at Week 24

    Time frame: Baseline (Day -7 to Day 1) and Week 24

    The HSS7 score is the sum of daily HSS ranging from ranging from 0 to 3 (0 = absent; 1 = mild [1 to <10 wheals/24 hours]; 2 = moderate [10 to 30 wheals/24 hours]; and 3 = intense: [>30 wheals/24 hours or large confluent areas of wheals]) recorded by a participant at the same time of each day over 7 days with an overall scale of 0 (no hives) to 21 (severe hives). Higher scores indicate greater intensity of hives. Mean is presented. Baseline was defined as sum of the 7 daily measurements obtained within the 7 days prior to first study intervention administration.
