Key clinical point: In real-world settings, dupilumab is safe and effective in children with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) who are age > 2 to < 12 years.

Major finding: Dupilumab led to significant improvements in the Eczema Area and Severity Index scores and Body Surface Area scores in children age > 2 to < 6 years (both P < .001) and ≥ 6 to < 12 years (both P < .001) but not in those age ≤ 2 years (P  =  .191 and P  =  .092, respectively). No serious adverse events were reported.

Study details: This multicenter retrospective study included 63 children with moderate-to-severe AD who were classified relative to age: ≤ 2 years (n = 4), > 2 to < 6 years (n = 25), and ≥ 6 to < 12 years (n = 34), with most having received prior systemic immunosuppressive therapies and all being treated with dupilumab.

Disclosures: This study did not disclose any funding source. Several authors declared receiving grants or honoraria from or serving as investigators, advisors, consultants, or speakers for various sources.
