DUPIXENT (dupilumab)
DUPIXENT is indicated for the treatment of Atopic Dermatitis; Asthma; Chronic Rhinosinusitis; Eosinophilic Esophagitis; Prurigo Nodularis.
How DUPIXENT Works
Dupilumab is a human monoclonal antibody that binds specifically to the IL-4Rα subunit, which is shared by the interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) receptor complexes. By blocking this subunit, the drug inhibits the signaling of IL-4 and IL-13, two cytokines that play a central role in the pathogenesis of various inflammatory diseases. This inhibition prevents the release of proinflammatory mediators, including cytokines, chemokines, nitric oxide, and IgE, from multiple cell types such as mast cells and eosinophils. Reducing these inflammatory responses helps manage the underlying biological drivers of the conditions for which the drug is approved.

DUPIXENT Approval History
What DUPIXENT Treats
5 indicationsDUPIXENT is approved for 5 conditions since its original approval in 2017. These indications span multiple therapeutic areas including oncology, immunology, and more.
- Atopic Dermatitis

DUPIXENT Target & Pathway
ProTarget
A cytokine that promotes Th2 immune responses and IgE production. IL-4 drives allergic inflammation in atopic dermatitis and asthma. Blocking IL-4 (often together with IL-13) reduces the type 2 inflammation underlying these conditions.

How We Calculate These Metrics
Trial Activity Stage
Measures the current development activity pattern based on trial phases, status, and trends. Important: This measures R&D activity, not commercial lifecycle.
Trial statuses: "Active" means recruiting or ongoing. "Completed" means reached planned endpoint. "Terminated" means stopped early—often due to safety, efficacy, or business reasons.
- Growth: High proportion of early-phase trials (Phase 1/2), active development
- Expansion: Significant Phase 3 activity, approaching or pursuing approvals
- Mature: Substantial Phase 4 post-marketing studies
- Stable: Mixed phase distribution, steady development
- Declining: Low active trial ratio, reduced R&D investment
