Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Staphylococcus Aureus Abundance on Lesional Skin, Dupilumab+Open Label Extension and Follow-Up Versus Placebo+Open Label Extension and Follow-Up
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) abundance was measured by microbial DNA (femA qPCR) on lesional skin at Day 28, measurement is expressed in relative Colony Forming Units (rCFU)/cm^2). The abundance of S. aureus is summarized as the geometric mean ratio (and corresponding 95% confidence interval) between the dupilumab and placebo arms. The geometric mean ratio is reported from an ANCOVA model with fixed effects for clinical site, disease severity at Day 0 (as measured by EASI >21.1 [severe] or ≤21.1 [non-severe]) and S. aureus abundance at Day 0.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Staphylococcus Aureus Abundance on Lesional Skin, Dupilumab+Open Label Extension and Follow-Up Versus Placebo+Open Label Extension and Follow-Up
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) abundance was measured by microbial DNA (femA qPCR) on lesional skin at Days 0, 3, 7, 14, 21, 42, 77 and 112. The abundance of S. aureus is summarized as the geometric mean ratio (GMR) and corresponding 95% confidence interval between the dupilumab and placebo arms. The GMR is reported from a linear mixed model for repeated measures with fixed effects for S. aureus abundance on lesional skin at Day 0, treatment arm, clinical site, disease severity at Day 0 as measured by EASI ≥ 21.1 or < 21.1, time point of measurement (as a categorical variable), and an interaction term between treatment arm and pre-specified time point(s). A linear mixed model similar to the model specified above was fit for every time point measured. The model was used to estimate the GMR between treatment arms at Days 77 and 112 and the ratio within treatment arm between Day 77 and Day 42 and between Day 112 and Day 42.
Staphylococcus Aureus Abundance on Non-lesional Skin, Dupilumab+Open Label Extension and Follow-Up Versus Placebo+Open Label Extension and Follow-Up
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) abundance was measured by microbial DNA (femA qPCR) on non-lesional skin at Days 0, 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, 42, 77 and 112. The abundance of S. aureus is summarized as the geometric mean ratio (GMR) and corresponding 95% confidence interval between the dupilumab and placebo arms. The GMR is reported from a linear mixed model for repeated measures with fixed effects for S. aureus abundance on non-lesional skin at Day 0, treatment arm, clinical site, disease severity at Day 0 as measured by EASI ≥ 21.1 or < 21.1, time point of measurement (as a categorical variable), and an interaction term between treatment arm and pre-specified time point(s). A linear mixed model similar to the model specified above was fit for every time point measured. The model estimated the GMR between treatment arms at Days 77 and 112 and the ratio within treatment arm between Day 77 and Day 42 and between Day 112 and Day 42.
Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) of Non-lesional and Lesional Skin, Dupilumab+Open Label Extension and Follow-Up Versus Placebo+Open Label Extension and Follow-Up
TEWL assessment is a noninvasive in vivo measurement of water loss across the stratum corneum that is used to characterize skin barrier function. Basal TEWL =baseline measure (prior to tape stripping). An increase in TEWL values shows damage to the skin barrier function. Basal TEWL was measured on non-lesional and lesional skin. Basal TEWL is summarized as the mean difference between the dupilumab and placebo arms. The mean difference is reported from two linear mixed models for repeated measures (lesional and non-lesional) with fixed effects for treatment arm, basal TEWL at Day 0, clinical site, and disease severity at Day 0 as measured by EASI ≥ 21.1 or < 21.1 at Days 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, and 42. Two linear mixed models similar to the models specified above were fit for every time point measured. The model was used to estimate the mean difference between treatment arms at Days 77 and 112 and the ratio within treatment arm between Day 77 and Day 42 and between Day 112 and Day 42.
Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) Area Under the Curve (AUC) on Non-Lesional Skin, Dupilumab+Open Label Extension and Follow-Up Versus Placebo+Open Label Extension and Follow-Up
TEWL skin barrier assessment was assessed prior to tape stripping and repeated after 5, 10, and 15 tape strips. TEWL AUC was calculated using the trapezoidal rule and represents skin barrier integrity. An increase in TEWL values shows damage to the skin barrier function. TEWL AUC was measured on non-lesional skin at Days 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 42, 77 and 112. The mean difference (between Groups) is reported from a linear mixed model for repeated measures with a random effect for participant and fixed effects for treatment arm, TEWL AUC at Day 0, clinical site, and disease severity at Day 0 as measured by EASI ≥ 21.1 or < 21.1 at Days 7, 14, 21, 28, and 42. A linear mixed model similar to the model specified above was fit for every time point measured. The model was used to estimate the mean difference between treatment arms at Days 77 and 112 and the mean difference within treatment arm between Day 77 and Day 42 and between Day 112 and Day 42.
Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) Slope on Non-Lesional Skin, Dupilumab+Open Label Extension and Follow-Up Versus Placebo+Open Label Extension and Follow-Up
The skin tape strip collection was comprised of 1 set of 15 strips from non-lesional skin and was collected as part of the TEWL skin barrier assessment. The TEWL values measured at every 5 tape strips were used to model the TEWL slope. TEWL slope assesses skin barrier integrity. An increase in TEWL values shows damage to the skin barrier function. TEWL slope is summarized as the mean difference (and corresponding 95% confidence interval) between the dupilumab and placebo arms. The mean difference in slope for each Day is reported from a linear mixed model for repeated measures with a fixed effects for basal TEWL prior to tape stripping, treatment arm, clinical site, disease severity at Day 0 as measured by EASI ≥ 21.1 or < 21.1, tape strip number, and an interaction term between treatment arm and tape strip number.
Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) Score Within Each Treatment Group, Dupilumab+Open Label Extension and Follow-Up Versus Placebo+Open Label Extension and Follow-Up
EASI is a composite score (range: 0-72) measuring physical signs of atopic dermatitis, including area of involvement and severity. Severity components include: erythema, papulation, excoriation and lichenification [0=absent, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe] for each body region (head/neck, trunk, arms, legs). Area of involvement (%) is assessed for each body region. Area and severity of each body region is weighted based on size of region, and region scores are added for the total score. Scores ≤7 are considered mild, >7 and ≤21 are considered moderate, and >21 are considered severe. The mean EASI score in each treatment arm is reported from a linear mixed model for repeated measures with fixed effects for EASI at Day 0, treatment arm, clinical site, time point of measurement, and an interaction term between treatment arm and pre-specified time point(s), Additionally, a similar model was fit using all time points.
Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) Score Within Each Treatment Group, Dupilumab+Open Label Extension and Follow-Up Versus Placebo+Open Label Extension and Follow-Up
Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score is a subjective scale measuring disease severity. Based on a 5-point scale from 0 (completely clear) to 4 (severe). Defined score of 0 = clear, 1 = almost clear, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, 4 = severe. The mean IGA score in each treatment arm is reported from a linear mixed model for repeated measures with fixed effects for IGA at Day 0, treatment arm, clinical site, disease severity at Day 0 as measured by EASI ≥ 21.1 or < 21.1, time point of measurement, and an interaction term between treatment arm and pre-specified time point(s). Additionally, a similar model was fit using all time points.
SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) Score Within Each Treatment Group, Dupilumab+Open Label Extension and Follow-Up Versus Placebo+Open Label Extension and Follow-Up
SCORAD is a composite index comprising a) the amount/extent of body surface area affected, b) subjective symptom visual analog assessments of itch and sleep loss [itch: 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst itch imaginable) / sleep loss: 0 (no sleep loss) to 10 (worst imaginable sleep loss)], and c) 6 disease intensity assessments [dryness, erythema, edema/papulation, excoriation, lichenification and oozing/crusting, each graded from 0-3: 0 (none), 1 (mild), 2 (moderate) and 3 (severe). The score ranges from 0 (no AD present) to 103 (severe). The mean SCORAD score in each treatment arm is reported from a linear mixed model for repeated measures with fixed effects for SCORAD at Day 0, treatment arm, clinical site, disease severity at Day 0 as measured by EASI ≥ 21.1 or < 21.1, time point of measurement, and an interaction term between treatment arm and pre-specified time point(s). Additionally, a similar model was fit using all time points.
Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (Pruritus NRS) Score Within Each Treatment Group, Dupilumab+Open Label Extension and Follow-Up Versus Placebo+Open Label Extension and Follow-Up
Pruritus NRS scale is an assessment tool that is used to report the average intensity of a participant's pruritus (itch) during a 24-hour recall period. Participants were asked to report the average itch experienced during the past 24 hours on a scale of 0 - 10 [0= no itch; 10= worst imaginable itch]). The mean Pruritus NRS score in each treatment arm is reported from a linear mixed model for repeated measures with fixed effects for Pruritus NRS at Day 0, treatment arm, clinical site, disease severity at Day 0 as measured by EASI ≥ 21.1 or < 21.1, time point of measurement, and an interaction term between treatment arm and pre-specified time point(s). Additionally, a similar model was fit using all time points.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to understand the effect that T helper 2 (Th2) blockade has on well-described pathophysiological features of Atopic Dermatitis (AD), for example: barrier, epidermal activation, dysbiosis and epidermal lipids.
Detailed Description
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled trial investigating the effect of 6 weeks of dupilumab treatment on quantitative and qualitative measures of cutaneous microbial community structure, skin barrier biology, and circulating T cell profiles, in adults with chronic moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD). After obtaining informed consent, eligible participants will return to clinic for their Treatment Initiation Visit (Day 0) and will be randomized 2:1 active to placebo. Participants will receive three doses of dupilumab or placebo based on their randomization assignment. The first dose (600 mg loading dose of dupilumab or placebo) will be administered on Day 0 and the second and third doses (300 mg dupilumab or placebo) on Day 14 and Day 28, respectively. Participants will return to clinic on Days 3, 7, and 21 during the double-masked portion of the study. Participants will begin the open-label extension (OLE) at Day 42 and will receive dupilumab (600 mg loading dose [two 300 mg injections] for those initially randomized to the placebo group and a 300 mg dose plus placebo injection for those initially randomized to the dupilumab group). Participants will return to clinic on Days 77 and 112 during the OLE portion of the study. During all visits (Day 0-Day 112), Adverse Events (AEs), concomitant medications, and medical history will be assessed and physical exams including assessment of AD severity will be performed. Blood, urine, skin swabs, skin tape strips, and skin biopsies, as applicable, will be collected, and barrier assessments will be performed per the Schedule of Events, per protocol. Samples will be collected prior to dupilumab or placebo administration on Days 0, 14, 28, and 42. After Day 112, a follow-up call (Day 182) will be made to assess for pregnancy, current medications, and adverse events (AEs). If concerns arise between regularly scheduled visits, participants will be instructed to contact study personnel and may be asked to return to the study site for an "Unscheduled Visit." Participants may be asked to return for Unscheduled Visits, as needed for the duration of the study, to provide additional blood, skin swabs, skin tape strips, or skin biopsies,as applicable, for further mechanistic and functional studies, if biosamples are lost or destroyed, or if insufficient yields were obtained at a previous study visit.

Basal TEWL =baseline measure (prior to tape stripping). An increase in TEWL values shows damage to the skin barrier function. Basal TEWL was measured on non-lesional and lesional skin. Basal TEWL is summarized as the mean difference between the dupilumab and placebo arms. The mean difference is reported from two linear mixed models for repeated measures (lesional and non-lesional) with fixed effects for treatment arm, basal TEWL at Day 0, clinical site, and disease severity at Day 0 as measured by EASI ≥ 21.1 or < 21.1 at Days 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, and 42. Two linear mixed models similar to the models specified above were fit for every time point measured. The model was used to estimate the mean difference between treatment arms at Days 77 and 112 and the ratio within treatment arm between Day 77 and Day 42 and between Day 112 and Day 42.
Time Frame
Day 0 (Prior to treatment), 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, 42, 77 and 112
Title
Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) Area Under the Curve (AUC) on Non-Lesional Skin, Dupilumab+Open Label Extension and Follow-Up Versus Placebo+Open Label Extension and Follow-Up
Description
TEWL skin barrier assessment was assessed prior to tape stripping and repeated after 5, 10, and 15 tape strips. TEWL AUC was calculated using the trapezoidal rule and represents skin barrier integrity. An increase in TEWL values shows damage to the skin barrier function. TEWL AUC was measured on non-lesional skin at Days 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 42, 77 and 112. The mean difference (between Groups) is reported from a linear mixed model for repeated measures with a random effect for participant and fixed effects for treatment arm, TEWL AUC at Day 0, clinical site, and disease severity at Day 0 as measured by EASI ≥ 21.1 or < 21.1 at Days 7, 14, 21, 28, and 42. A linear mixed model similar to the model specified above was fit for every time point measured. The model was used to estimate the mean difference between treatment arms at Days 77 and 112 and the mean difference within treatment arm between Day 77 and Day 42 and between Day 112 and Day 42.
Time Frame
Day 0 (Prior to treatment), 7, 14, 21, 28, 42, 77 and 112
Title
Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) Slope on Non-Lesional Skin, Dupilumab+Open Label Extension and Follow-Up Versus Placebo+Open Label Extension and Follow-Up
Description
The skin tape strip collection was comprised of 1 set of 15 strips from non-lesional skin and was collected as part of the TEWL skin barrier assessment. The TEWL values measured at every 5 tape strips were used to model the TEWL slope. TEWL slope assesses skin barrier integrity. An increase in TEWL values shows damage to the skin barrier function. TEWL slope is summarized as the mean difference (and corresponding 95% confidence interval) between the dupilumab and placebo arms. The mean difference in slope for each Day is reported from a linear mixed model for repeated measures with a fixed effects for basal TEWL prior to tape stripping, treatment arm, clinical site, disease severity at Day 0 as measured by EASI ≥ 21.1 or < 21.1, tape strip number, and an interaction term between treatment arm and tape strip number.

Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) Score Within Each Treatment Group, Dupilumab+Open Label Extension and Follow-Up Versus Placebo+Open Label Extension and Follow-Up
Description
EASI is a composite score (range: 0-72) measuring physical signs of atopic dermatitis, including area of involvement and severity. Severity components include: erythema, papulation, excoriation and lichenification [0=absent, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe] for each body region (head/neck, trunk, arms, legs). Area of involvement (%) is assessed for each body region. Area and severity of each body region is weighted based on size of region, and region scores are added for the total score. Scores ≤7 are considered mild, >7 and ≤21 are considered moderate, and >21 are considered severe. The mean EASI score in each treatment arm is reported from a linear mixed model for repeated measures with fixed effects for EASI at Day 0, treatment arm, clinical site, time point of measurement, and an interaction term between treatment arm and pre-specified time point(s), Additionally, a similar model was fit using all time points.
