Dupilumab : a new treatment for severe T2 high asthma

Severe asthma often features a T2 high profile regulated by cytokines such as interleukins IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13. Dupilumab (Dupixent®) is humanized monoclonal antibody directed against the α subunit of the receptor for IL-4 and IL-13. Here we summarise the immunogical background of severe asthma which supports the use of dupilumab and the pivotal randomised controlled trials which have established the efficacy of dupilumab in treating people with severe asthma. Dupilumab reduces the exacerbation rate, has corticosteroids sparing effect, provides sustained improvement in expiratory flow rates and improved asthma control and quality of life with a reassuring safety profile. Dupilumab reduces the levels of FeNO values and of serum IgE but not those of circulating eosinophils. We also report on a few real life data with dupilumab supporting its clinical effectiveness.
