-
Part A (open-label, single-ascending-dose, sequential cohort phase 2 study):
- Primary objective is to characterize the safety and PK of dupilumab administered as a single dose in pediatric participants, 6 months to less than 6 years of age, with severe AD.
- Secondary objective is to evaluate the efficacy and immunogenicity of a single dose of dupilumab in participants 6 months to less than 6 years of age with severe AD.
-
Part B (randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled phase 3 study):
- Primary objective is to demonstrate the efficacy of multiple doses of dupilumab over 16 weeks of treatment when administered concomitantly with topical corticosteroids (TCS) in pediatric participants, 6 months to less than 6 years of age, with moderate-to-severe AD.
- Secondary objective is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of multiple doses of dupilumab over 16 weeks of treatment when administered concomitantly with TCS in participants 6 months to less than 6 years of age with moderate-to-severe AD.

Primary Outcome Measures :
- Part A: Concentration of total dupilumab in serum over time and pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 4 ]Summary statistics of drug concentration and PK parameters
- Part A: Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 4 ]TEAEs include adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), deaths, and laboratory abnormalities
- Part B: Proportion of participants with an Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score of 0 to 1 [ Time Frame: At week 16 ]The Investigator's Global Assessment is a static 5-point measure of disease severity based on an overall assessment of the skin lesions. Scoring Ranges from 0 = Clear to 4 = severe disease
- Part B: For European Medicines Agency (EMA) only: Proportion of participants with Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) -75 (≥75% improvement from baseline) [ Time Frame: At week 16 ]The EASI is a validated measure used in clinical practice and clinical trials to assess the severity and extent of AD (Hanifin 2001). The EASI is a composite index with scores ranging from 0 to 72
- Part B: For EMA only: Proportion of participants with an IGA score of either 0 or 1 [ Time Frame: At week 16 ]
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Part A: Incidence of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 4 ]
- Part A: Incidence of severe TEAEs [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 4 ]
- Part A: Percent change in EASI score [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 4 ]
- Part A: Percent change in SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) score [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 4 ]SCORAD is a validated scoring index for AD, which combines A: extent (0-100), B: severity (0-18), and C: subjective symptoms (0-20) based on pruritus and sleep loss, each scored (0-10). The SCORAD for an individual is calculated by the formula: A/5 + 7B/2 + C (can range from 0 to 103).
- Part A: Proportion of participants with an IGA score of either 0 or 1 [ Time Frame: At week 4 ]
- Part A: Determine immunogenicity titer [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 4 ]Assessed by measurement of anti-drug antibodies
- Part B: Not applicable for EMA: Proportion of participants with EASI-75 (≥75% improvement from baseline) [ Time Frame: At week 16 ]
- Part B: Percent change in EASI score [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 16 ]
- Part B: Percent change in weekly average of daily worst scratch/itch numeric rating score (NRS) [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 16 ]The NRS is an 11-point scale (0 to 10) in which 0 indicates no scratching/itching while 10 indicates worst scratching/itching possible
- Part B: Proportion of participants with EASI-50 (≥50% improvement from baseline) [ Time Frame: At week 16 ]
- Part B: Proportion of participants with EASI-90 (≥90% improvement from baseline) [ Time Frame: At week 16 ]
- Part B: Change in percent Body Surface Area (BSA) affected by AD [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 16 ]
- Part B: Percent change in SCORAD [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 16 ]
- Part B: Change in weekly average of daily worst scratch/itch NRS score [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 16 ]
- Part B: Proportion of participants with improvement (reduction) of weekly average of daily worst scratch/itch NRS score ≥4 [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 16 ]
- Part B: Proportion of participants with improvement (reduction) of weekly average of daily worst scratch/itch NRS score ≥3 [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 16 ]
- Part B: Change in skin pain NRS [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 16 ]
- Part B: Change in sleep quality NRS [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 16 ]
- Part B: Change in health-related quality of life, as measured by Childrens' Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) (participants ≥4 years of age) and Infants' Dermatology Quality of Life Index (IDQOL) (participants <4 years of age) [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 16 ]CDLQI is a quality of life questionnaire associated with atopic dermatitis (for participants <4 years of age). Scoring ranges from 0 = unanswered to 3 = very much. IDQOL is a quality of life questionnaire associated with atopic dermatitis (for patients <4 years of age). Scoring ranges from 0 (minimum impact) to 3 (maximum impact). The higher the sum of the scores, the greater the impact is on the QOL for CDLQI and IDQOL.
- Part B: Change in Dermatitis Family Index (DFI) [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 16 ]DFI is a 10-item quality of family life questionnaire associated with atopic dermatitis. Scores range from 0 - 3. The higher the sum of the scores the greater the impact in family QOL
- Part B: Change in Patient Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM) [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 16 ]POEM is a 7-item, validated questionnaire used in clinical practice and clinical trials to assess disease symptoms in children and adults. Scoring ranges from 0 = no days to 4 = all days. Scoring system of 0 to 28; the total score reflects disease-related morbidity.
- Part B: Topical treatment for AD - proportion of topical corticosteroids (TCS) medication-free days [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 16 ]
- Part B: Mean weekly dose of low potency TCS [ Time Frame: Up to week 16 ]
- Part B: Mean of caregiver missed workdays [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 16 ]
