What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Serum Concentration of Dupilumab at Weeks 12 and 24

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

    Measured: Weeks 12 and 24

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs)

    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.

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

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

    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.

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

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

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and Week 24

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

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and Week 24

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

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

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

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

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

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

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Dupilumab in people with Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria, run by Sanofi at 15 sites in 3 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Nov 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites in United States, Canada, Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Nov 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Serum Concentration of Dupilumab at Weeks 12 and 24 (time frame: Weeks 12 and 24). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Nov 2025.
