Observational Study of Conjunctivitis in the Setting of DUPIXENT® Treatment for Atopic Dermatitis

Completed
Conditions
Conjunctivitis
Atopic Dermatitis
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT04287608
Lead Sponsor
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals
Brief Summary

The primary objective of the study is to characterize the clinical phenotype(s) of DUPIXENT®-associated conjunctivitis events.

The secondary objectives of the study are to characterize the course of conjunctivitis events during the observation period and collect and assess data on treatment for conjunctivitis events and its effectiveness.

Target Recruitment
50
Inclusion Criteria
  • Treatment with DUPIXENT® for AD (per the current US Prescribing Information) should be ongoing, and have been initiated at least 8 weeks prior to study enrollment. NOTE: A single missed dose in the 8 weeks prior to enrollment is allowed.
  • Patients with protocol-specified conjunctivitis events must present with active bilateral conjunctivitis (with or without cornea or eyelid involvement) diagnosed by the ophthalmologist (investigator) which meets all of the following criteria:
  • Developed (or significantly worsened) while receiving treatment with DUPIXENT® for AD
  • Is clinically significant (eg, moderate-to-severe, extensive, persistent, etc) as determined by the investigator
  • There is a suspected causal relationship between DUPIXENT® and conjunctivitis because:
  • Conjunctivitis is a new-onset condition or an unusual worsening of a preexisting condition (eg, significantly more severe, more extensive, or more protracted than ever before) AND
  • No alternative explanation is more plausible, in the opinion of the investigator
  • Reference patients must have AD treated with current ongoing treatment with DUPIXENT® for equal or longer duration as compared to group 1, with no clinical signs of ocular inflammation noted during the entire DUPIXENT® treatment

Key

Exclusion Criteria
  • Any known medical, social, or personal limitations that are likely to restrict the patient's ability to undergo study visits and complete study procedures (as assessed by the investigator), including hypersensitivity or other contraindications to the anesthetic eye drops used during the ophthalmological examination.

NOTE: Other protocol defined inclusion/exclusion criteria apply.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Proportion of conjunctivitis events by severityInitial Visit (Day 1) up to week 52

Severity is based on the nature of the event, intensity of signs and/or symptoms, current functional impairment, and potential long-term health hazards related to the event. 3-point scale: Mild, Moderate or Severe.

Proportion of patients with conjunctivitis event resolutionUp to week 52
Proportion of patients who discontinued DUPIXENT® due to conjunctivitis eventsUp to week 52
Baseline Ophthalmologist DiagnosisInitial Visit (Day 1)

Diagnosis includes: symptoms and morphological features of conjunctivitis

Proportion of patients with symptomsInitial Visit (Day 1) up to week 52

Symptoms include but are not limited to: infection, dry eye, cytological shifts, etc

Duration of conjunctivitis event(s) in patients whose conjunctivitis resolvedUp to week 52
Change in eosinophil counts and other cells identified by impression cytology from the conjunctival tissueUp to week 52 or resolution

Measured by conjunctival impression sample (EyeprimTM) for cytology and RNA sequencing

Proportion of patients in each category of ophthalmologist diagnosesInitial Visit (Day 1)

Symptoms / Morphological features

Proportion of patients with morphological featuresInitial Visit (Day 1) up to week 52

Morphological features include but are not limited to: bulbar redness, limbal redness, lid redness, lid roughness, etc. and associated conditions may include blepharitis, keratitis, etc.

Ophthalmologists assessment of treatment effectiveness, overall and by clinical phenotype based on a 5-point scale.Up to week 52
