Regeneron Pharmaceuticals announces that the FDA has accepted for Priority Review its sBLA for Dupixent (dupilumab) to treat eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in patients aged 12 and older. If approved, Dupixent will be the first FDA-approved treatment for EoE in the U.S. Currently, there are around 160,000 patients in the U.S. with EoE, with about 48,000 not responding to existing therapies. The FDA's decision is expected by August 3, 2022. The sBLA is backed by Phase 3 trial data showing Dupixent's efficacy in easing EoE symptoms.

Regeneron and Sanofi announced positive results from the Phase 3 PRIME2 trial for Dupixent (dupilumab), showing significant effectiveness in treating prurigo nodularis. At 12 weeks, 37% of patients on Dupixent experienced meaningful itch reduction, compared to 22% on placebo. By 24 weeks, this increased to 58% vs 20%. Dupixent also improved skin clarity in 45% of patients. Regulatory filings for Dupixent's approval in prurigo nodularis are planned for 2022. Safety results were consistent with its existing profile, although some adverse events were reported.

On February 28, 2022, Intellia Therapeutics and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals announced promising interim results from a Phase 1 clinical trial of NTLA-2001 for treating transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR). The study demonstrated a mean serum TTR reduction of 93% at the highest dose (1.0 mg/kg) by day 28, with durable reductions lasting between two to twelve months. The treatment was generally well tolerated, with mild adverse effects reported. The companies plan to advance the therapy into a dose-expansion cohort in Q1 2022, marking a significant step in CRISPR-based genomic medicine.

Regeneron and Sanofi announced positive Phase 3 trial results for Dupixent (dupilumab) 300 mg weekly in treating eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), a chronic inflammatory disease. The trial showed a 64% reduction in disease symptoms after 24 weeks compared to placebo, with 59% of Dupixent patients achieving histological remission. The safety profile was consistent with previous studies. Regulatory filings are expected in 2022.

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals and Sanofi announced positive Phase 3 trial results for Dupixent (dupilumab) in treating chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) in biologic-naïve patients. The trial showed that Dupixent significantly reduced itch and urticaria activity scores at 24 weeks compared to standard antihistamine treatment. Key findings included a 63% reduction in itch severity and a 65% reduction in urticaria activity. The safety profile of Dupixent remained consistent, with adverse events rates comparable to placebo. Dupixent's potential for treating CSU is still under clinical evaluation.

Regeneron and Sanofi announced the termination of a Phase 3 trial for Dupixent in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) due to failure to achieve statistical significance despite observed improvements in key endpoints. The trial was halted based on an interim analysis indicating futility. However, a previous Phase 3 trial showed positive results in biologic-naïve patients, indicating Dupixent significantly reduced itch and hives. Both companies remain committed to developing Dupixent for CSU and are evaluating next steps following this setback.
