The safety of dupilumab was evaluated in four randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies and one dose-ranging study in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. In these 5 trials, 1,689 subjects were treated with subcutaneous injections of dupilumab, with or without concomitant topical corticosteroids (TCS). A total of 305 patients were treated with dupilumab for at least 1 year.

​

Listed in Table 2 are adverse reactions observed in atopic dermatitis clinical trials and/or postmarketing setting presented by system organ class and frequency, using the following categories: very common (≥ 1/10); common (≥ 1/100 to < 1/10); uncommon (≥ 1/1,000 to < 1/100); rare (≥ 1/10,000 to < 1/1,000); very rare (< 1/10,000). Within each frequency grouping, undesirable effects are presented in order of decreasing seriousness
