With respect to dosing regimens and duration of therapy using dupilumab in the pediatric and adolescent age groups, what do the trials, FDA approval guidance, and your clinical experience suggest as practical roadmaps in this population?

The heterogeneity of atopic dermatitis in pediatric, adolescent, and adult populations is a critical feature of AD and, through precise identification of phenotypes and endotypes, can provide a therapy roadmap. Why is this important?

Many dermatologists who observe and report excellent efficacy and tolerability with dupilumab also are asking: “How long should treatment be continued?” Can you provide guidance on this commonly asked question and on the safety profile?

Given the spectrum of therapeutic modalities for moderate-to-severe AD, can you provide a “therapeutic ladder” for how treatments, from corticosteroids to immunologically-based therapies should be sequenced in pediatric and adolescent patients?

Can you share a case where topical therapies have failed to produce an acceptable clinical response, and in whom consideration of immunotherapy—including systemic treatment with dupilumab—would be indicated?

In the dupilumab trials, do patients treated with this agent respond predictably in terms of amelioration of specific symptoms—itch, redness, appearance—and how long does it take to see treatment response?

Why is it important to parse out clinical phenotypes among pediatric and adult populations with atopic dermatitis? What is the importance of identifying clinical signatures and how can this impact therapeutic response and tolerability to therapies?

In light of the significant unmet need for AD treatment in children between the ages of 2 and 12, and even younger what do the most recent clinical trials show about the safety and efficacy of dupilumab in these young age groups?
