35,000 asthma patients under the microscope: Real-World dupilumab use revealed
NCT ID NCT07637292
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how dupilumab, a drug for severe asthma, is actually used by patients in France. Researchers will analyze health records of about 35,000 people to describe their characteristics, healthcare costs, and steroid use before and after starting the drug. The goal is to understand real-world effectiveness and patterns, not to test a new treatment.

Who is studied
For this study, we will use the data from the SNDS database. This is the French claims database, which contains all information related to public and private healthcare reimbursements from various regimens in France. It includes all non-hospital reimbursed healthcare expenditures. In 2019, SNIIRAM covered 98.8% of the French population. It also contains demographic characteristics (age, sex, vital status), information on healthcare professionals, presence of chronic condition with ICD-10 codes, as well as information on date and nature of medical and paramedical interventions, laboratory tests, medical transportations, and number of days of paid sick leaves. These data are linked to the hospital discharge ICD-10 diagnoses codes for all medical, obstetric, and surgery hospitalizations, medical procedures, hospitalization department, and cost coding system. Data are also linked to the national deaths database for medical causes of death.
