The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has agreed to review an application submitted by Sanofi for the use of Dupixent (dupilumab) to treat inadequately controlled moderate-to-severe asthma.

Dupixent is a human monoclonal antibody developed to block interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) signalling associated with type 2 inflammation.

The drug is currently approved in the EU and the US to treat moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis in adults.

The latest application seeks approval as an add-on maintenance treatment of some asthma patients aged 12 and above.

It includes results from three pivotal trials involving 2,888 subjects under the Liberty Asthma clinical development programme.

“The latest application seeks approval as an add-on maintenance treatment of some asthma patients aged 12 years and above.”

Sanofi and Regeneron are also evaluating dupilumab in different development programmes for type 2 inflammatory conditions such as paediatric atopic dermatitis, nasal polyps and eosinophilic esophagitis.

Cemiplimab is a human monoclonal antibody being developed by Sanofi and Regeneron to target the programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) checkpoint inhibitor.

The MAA is supported by findings from a pivotal, single-arm, open-label Phase II trial and data from two other Phase I expansion cohorts involving advanced metastatic and locally advanced CSCC patients not eligible for surgery.
