New biologic drug tested to tame severe childhood eczema

NCT ID NCT04678882

Summary

This study tested an injectable drug called dupilumab, given with a standard steroid cream, in 62 Japanese children and teenagers (aged 6 months to 18 years) with moderate-to-severe eczema that wasn't well-controlled by their usual treatments. The main goal was to see if the drug combination was better than a placebo (dummy injection) at reducing the severity and itch of eczema over 16 weeks. Researchers also closely monitored the drug's safety and how the body processed it in this young age group.
