Secondary objectives:

* Assess the control of asthma under dupilumab (Dupixent®) treatment until 1 year

* Assess the clinical objectives of the asthma care

* Assess comorbidities associated with Type 2 inflammation

* Assess safety during the year of treatment

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Medical history (including history of asthma)At the start of treatment with Dupixent® (day 1)

Relevant medical history other than asthma according to the investigator (including documented comorbidities associated with type 2 inflammation). Asthma history includes patient age at the time of diagnosis and family history.

Previous treatments for asthmaAt the start of treatment with Dupixent® (day 1)

Background asthma treatments (doses and international nonproprietary name (INN) of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), long-acting beta-2 agonist (LABA) and oral corticosteroids (OCS), etc) including cumulative yearly dose of OCS. Use of oral corticosteroids due to exacerbation of asthma (dose, INN). Use of emergency treatments (short-acting beta-2 agonist (SABA)) (number of times per week).

Concomitant medicationAt the start of treatment with Dupixent® (day 1)

Relevant concomitant medication other than medication for asthma according to the investigator.

Demographic characteristicsAt the start of treatment with Dupixent® (day 1)

Age and gender.

Disease characteristicsAt the start of treatment with Dupixent® (day 1)

Disease characteristics at the inclusion including severity (Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) step), number of severe exacerbations during the past year, number of days in intensive care unit (ICU) for severe exacerbation since the diagnosis, forced expiratory volume per second (FEV1), Asthma Control Test (ACT) score.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change from baseline to week 52 in in Score for atopic dermatitis (SCORAD) score for atopic dermatitisFrom baseline (day 1) to week 52

SCORAD is a clinical tool for assessing the severity (i.e., extent, intensity) of atopic dermatitis as objectively as possible with scores ranging from 0-100. The higher the score indicates more severe atopic dermatitis.

Change from baseline to week 52 in corticosteroid doseFrom baseline (day 1) to week 52

Change in corticosteroid dose.

Change from baseline to week 52 in pre- bronchodilator forced expiratory volume per second (FEV1)From baseline (day 1) to week 52

FEV1 was the volume of air exhaled in the first second of a forced expiration as measured by spirometer.

Change from baseline to week 52 in sinonasal symptoms of nasal polyposis of food allergiesFrom baseline (day 1) to week 52

Following sinonasal symptoms will be recorded: nasal congestion, loss in smell, posterior nasal discharge, anterior nasal discharge.

Collection of adverse eventsDay 1 to week 52

Number of adverse events.

Change from baseline to week 52 in asthma control test (ACT) score at each subsequent visit over the year of treatmentFrom baseline (day 1) to week 52

ACT score range: 5-25; higher score indicates better asthma control.

Change from baseline to week 52 in number of food allergic reactionsFrom baseline (day 1) to week 52

Following food allergic reactions will be recorded: allergic symptoms and anaphylaxis in real life or during an oral food challenge.

Change from baseline to week 52 in in visual analogue scale (VAS) score for allergic rhinitisFrom baseline (day 1) to week 52

VAS score range: 0 ('no symptoms') to 100 ('severe symptoms').

Collection of serious adverse eventsDay 1 to week 52

Number of serious adverse events.

Change from baseline to week 52 in number of annualized exacerbations and description of exacerbation settingFrom baseline (day 1) to week 52

An exacerbation is defined as deterioration of asthma requiring use of systemic corticosteroids for ≥3 days; or increase in oral corticosteroids (OCS) dose at ≥2 times the current dose for ≥3 days; or hospitalization or emergency room visit because of asthma, requiring systemic corticosteroids.

Responder rates at week 52 for ACT (according to the minimal important difference (MID))At week 52

A participant is defined as responder if he/she has a change from baseline of 3 points or more at week 52 on the ACT score. ACT score range: 5-25; higher score indicates better asthma control.

Reasons for Dupixent® discontinuationDay 1 to week 52

All reasons for treatment discontinuation.

Change from baseline to week 52 in Paediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ) scoreFrom baseline (day 1) to week 52

Questionnaire including 23 questions in 3 domains (symptoms, activity limitation, emotional function) and a 7-point scale (7 = not bothered at all; 1 = extremely bothered).

Responder rates at week 52 for PAQLQ (according to the MID))At week 52

A participant is defined as responder if he/she has a change from baseline of 0.5 points or more at week 52 on the PAQLQ score. The PAQLQ(S) overall score is calculated by adding points of individual responses to all questions, with the higher scores indicating less impairment that is, a better quality of life. Questionnaire including 23 questions in 3 domains (symptoms, activity limitation, emotional function) and a 7-point scale (7 = not bothered at all; 1 = extremely bothered).
