IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

CONTRAINDICATION: DUPIXENT (dupilumab) is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to dupilumab or any of its excipients.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Hypersensitivity: Hypersensitivity reactions, including generalized urticaria and serum sickness or serum sickness-like reactions, were reported in <1% of subjects who received DUPIXENT. If a clinically significant hypersensitivity reaction occurs, institute appropriate therapy and discontinue DUPIXENT.

Conjunctivitis and Keratitis: Conjunctivitis and keratitis occurred more frequently in subjects who received DUPIXENT. Conjunctivitis was the most frequently reported eye disorder. Advise patients to report new onset or worsening eye symptoms to their healthcare provider.

Comorbid Asthma: Safety and efficacy of DUPIXENT have not been established in the treatment of asthma. Advise patients with comorbid asthma not to adjust or stop their asthma treatments without consultation with their healthcare provider.

Parasitic (Helminth) Infections: Patients with known helminth infections were excluded from participation in clinical studies. It is unknown if DUPIXENT will influence the immune response against helminth infections.

ADVERSE REACTIONS: The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥1%) are injection site reactions, conjunctivitis, blepharitis, oral herpes, keratitis, eye pruritus, other herpes simplex virus infection, and dry eye.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

• Live Vaccines: Avoid use of live vaccines in patients treated with DUPIXENT.
• Interactions with CYP450 Substrates: DUPIXENT could modulate the formation of CYP450 enzymes. Upon initiation or discontinuation of DUPIXENT in patients receiving concomitant drugs which are CYP450 substrates, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic index, consider monitoring for effect (e.g., for warfarin) or drug concentration (e.g., for cyclosporine) and consider dosage modification of the CYP450 substrate.

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

• Pregnancy: There are no available data on DUPIXENT use in pregnant women to inform any drug associated risk. Human IgG antibodies are known to cross the placental barrier; therefore, DUPIXENT may be transmitted from the mother to the developing fetus.
• Lactation: There are no data on the presence of DUPIXENT in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Human IgG is known to be present in human milk. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for DUPIXENT and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from DUPIXENT or from the underlying maternal condition.
