DUPIXENT TARGETS A SOURCE OF UNDERLYING INFLAMMATION
How It Works
INDICATION
DUPIXENT is a prescription medicine used to treat people aged 6 years and older with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (eczema) that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin (topical), or who cannot use topical therapies. DUPIXENT can be used with or without topical corticosteroids. It is not known if DUPIXENT is safe and effective in children with atopic dermatitis under 6 years of age.
Important Safety Information
Do not use if you are allergic to dupilumab or to any of the ingredients in DUPIXENT®.
Please see Important Safety Information throughout video and accompanying full Prescribing Information, including Patient Information.
Atopic dermatitis, the most common form of eczema, can be caused in part by constant inflammation in your body, which can lead to dry, flaky, itchy skin and rash on the surface of your skin. Moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis can be difficult to manage.
Patients with atopic dermatitis can have some skin with rash and some skin without rash. But even skin without rash may have ongoing, underlying inflammation. This is because the immune system is overactive.
The overactive immune response in atopic dermatitis involves 2 main parts: a weak skin barrier and underlying internal inflammation. With atopic dermatitis, outside substances such as bacteria, viruses, and allergens may enter the weak outer layer of skin more easily than in healthy skin.
As these outside substances enter the body, a signal is sent to the immune system, causing some immune cells in the second layer of skin to overreact.
Even when these outside substances are no longer present, this overreaction continues.
Cytokines, small proteins that affect communication between cells, are part of the inflammatory signal that can cause the symptoms that patients with atopic dermatitis experience.
DUPIXENT is a prescription medicine used to treat people aged 6 years and older with moderate-to- severe atopic dermatitis (eczema) that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin (topical), or who cannot use topical therapies. DUPIXENT can be used with or without topical corticosteroids. It is not known if DUPIXENT is safe and effective in children with atopic dermatitis under 6 years of age.
DUPIXENT works under the skin. When DUPIXENT attaches to certain immune cells, it inhibits an inflammatory signal from these specific cells that contributes to causing atopic dermatitis.
DUPIXENT may help reduce the rash you see and feel on your skin, and targets an underlying source of inflammation that could be a root cause of your atopic dermatitis.
In two, 16-week clinical studies with DUPIXENT:
DUPIXENT can cause serious side effects, including allergic reactions (hypersensitivity) and eye problems.
The most common side effects in patients with atopic dermatitis include injection site reactions, eye and eyelid inflammation, including redness, swelling, and itching, and cold sores in your mouth or on your lips.

The relationship between how DUPIXENT works in your body and its clinical effects is unknown.
So ask your doctor if DUPIXENT could help heal your skin from within.

Before starting DUPIXENT, you should talk to your doctor about all the medical conditions you have and medications you are taking.
You and your doctor should also discuss the potential benefits and risks of treatment with DUPIXENT including the most common side effects such as injection site reactions and some serious side effects such as allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, and eye problems.
There is no cure for atopic dermatitis. DUPIXENT can help reduce the signs and symptoms of eczema. Patients’ individual results with DUPIXENT may vary.
DR. LIO:
When people have tried a number of different topical therapies and they're just not doing well, that's really where DUPIXENT falls. It's for those patients who've really tried in earnest but are still suffering.
DEBBIE:
I learned that DUPIXENT was not a topical or an oral medication. This drug works with my body to help reduce underlying inflammation and potentially clear my skin.
That was probably the most exciting thing that I found out about DUPIXENT, because I always knew that I needed something that was going to work from the inside out.
DR. LIO:
When I introduce DUPIXENT as a treatment for patients, I first explain that it is not an immunosuppressant, because I think many patients are afraid that a systemic medicine would suppress the entire immune system.
I really emphasize that this is a treatment that's going to cool down the inflammation both in the skin and in the rest of the body to help get them some relief.
DEBBIE:
I explored everything, talked to my doctors a lot about it, and asked every question I could, and decided that it was the right thing for me.

Escucha el testimonio de pacientes que
eligieron DUPIXENT.
ANA: Cuando mi hijo Max era niño, tenía eczema grave no controlado.
Habíamos probado diferentes tratamientos tópicos recetados sin mucho éxito.
CHRISTY: Mi hija Jolie tuvo muchas dificultades cuando era una niña pequeña con su eczema grave no controlado.
Simplemente no conseguía tener el alivio que buscaba con terapias de uso tópico con receta.
ANA: Cuando nuestro médico mencionó DUPIXENT como una opción de tratamiento, Max y yo nos entusiasmamos.
¡Al fin una opción de tratamiento que funciona desde adentro!
Nuestro médico nos explicó que DUPIXENT no es un immunosupresor. Es un medicamento biólogico que actúa dirigiéndose a una fuente clave da la inflamación dentro de tu piel para ayudar a prevenir brotes en la superficie.
CHRISTY: Enterarnos de que existía DUPIXENT fue un cambio real para nosotras.
Teníamos la esperanza de que Jolie pudiera tener una piel más libre de eczema y menos picazón.
ANA: Aprendimos que DUPIXENT es una inyección que se administra debajo de la piel.
Yo no me siento exactamente cómoda con las agujas, así que al principio estaba indecisa. Pero Max parecía no tener problemas con eso y estaba ansioso por empezar.
CHRISTY: Cuando descubrimos que DUPIXENT era un medicamento inyectable, no estábamos seguros de cómo se sentiría Jolie a respecto, especialmente porque era tan pequeña.
ANA: Quería hablarlo con mis padres y mi hermana.
Tenía que ser una decisión familiar. Somos una familia muy unida y el eczema grave de Max había tenido un impacto en la vida de todos.
CHRISTY: El inicio del tratamiento con DUPIXENT fue una decisión importante.
Mi marido y yo hablamos sobre ello. También consultamos a nuestros padres porque siempre se involucraron mucho en la atención de la niña.
Y, al final, queríamos que Jolie se sintiera bien con eso.
LUCATORA:
Antes de comenzar con DUPIXENT, debes hablar con tu médico acerca de todas las afecciones médicas que tienes y los medicamentos que estás tomando.
Tú y tu médico deberán conversar también sobre los posibles beneficios y riesgos del tratamiento, incluyendo los efectos secundarios más comunes como las reacciones en el lugar de la inyección, y algunos efectos secundarios graves incluyendo reacciones alérgicas que a veces pueden ser severas, problemas oculares y dolores en las articulaciones.
Ahora el eczema grave de Max está bajo control.
Se siente cómodo aplicándose las inyecciones él mismo.
Y toda nuestra familia, especialmente Mimi, está encantada de ver la mejoría de su piel.
CHRISTY: Jolie se sintió mejor cuando supo que podía recibir las inyecciones del médico asistente en la consulta con su dermatólogo.
Hemos podido incluir sus inyecciones en nuestra rutina y su tratamiento con DUPIXENT va bien.
A ver, sonrían todos…

DUPIXENT® (dupilumab)—a medicine with special storage requirements—is what’s known as a specialty medicine.
That means it may be delivered to you by a specialty pharmacy instead of your local pharmacy.
That also means you can expect the process for getting your prescription filled to be different from other medicines you may pick up from your local pharmacy.
It will go something like this:
First, your doctor writes a prescription for DUPIXENT. Be sure to ask your doctor about enrolling in DUPIXENT MyWay®, which can provide additional support for you. You or your doctor can download the enrollment form on DUPIXENT.com or call 1-844-DUPIXENT, option 1 to enroll.
Next, your prescription may have to be authorized by insurance. This is called prior authorization and is common for specialty medicines.
Your insurance company will work with your doctor to get any additional medical information they need.
It might feel like this part takes a while, but hang in there.
If you have enrolled in DUPIXENT MyWay, you will receive a welcome call from a Nurse Educator while your insurance benefits are being confirmed. Once DUPIXENT is approved by your insurer, a specialty pharmacy works with you to schedule the shipments of DUPIXENT to your home or other preferred location, so be sure to answer their calls to prevent delays.
They will not ship your medicine without first confirming delivery details with you.
And while everyone’s working through the details, look to DUPIXENT MyWay for additional support.
You can connect with DUPIXENT MyWay Nurse Educators by phone to receive supplemental injection training, help scheduling deliveries and prescription refills, or help navigating financial support options, such as copay assistance.
As a reminder, with all of these folks helping to get you off to good start with DUPIXENT, you may receive phone calls from your doctor’s office, specialty pharmacy, and a DUPIXENT MyWay Nurse Educator.
Remember to quickly respond to these calls to avoid delays in receiving DUPIXENT. So, now you know what to expect from prescription to delivery.
For more information on how to properly store DUPIXENT after delivery, please review the DUPIXENT Instructions for Use at DUPIXENT.com.

Shari: I grew up in a very small town—one stoplight, if you blink you might miss it. Very quaint. The small-town environment lends to the type of work that I do, more one-on-one with our patients.
My name is Shari, and I’m a registered nurse with DUPIXENT MyWay.
I chose to be a nurse because I wanted to help people, and I believe that people should be in service to others.
Being a nurse for DUPIXENT MyWay is very rewarding. I really enjoy the patient interaction. I’m ready to make a difference. I’m ready to help our patients to have the confidence to proceed with their journey.
Our nurses work remotely from our homes. So, we step into our offices, we’re going into a nice relaxing environment.
When our patients call in, they get to speak to a real person, an experienced clinician who can provide them support along their journey.
We provide general product support and education, as well as supplemental injection training, and injection and refill reminder calls.
Every day is different depending on the type of calls that we have. Some of the common questions we get: “How much is it going to cost me?” “When will I get started?” “How do I take my DUPIXENT injections when I’m traveling?”
We have multiple resources available for patients. We have the ability to send out package inserts that include all the important safety information for DUPIXENT. For patients wanting a copay card, they can access that by visiting our product website at DUPIXENT.com.
One of my favorite parts of providing nursing care to our patients is being able to walk them through their journey, hold their hand through the process, just to give them confidence along the way, and we always want them to know that they have our support.
Laurie: I’m Laurie. I’m a registered nurse with DUPIXENT MyWay. I’ve been with DUPIXENT MyWay since the very beginning.
I give supplemental injection training to the patient and the patient’s caregiver.
When I was very young, I knew that I wanted to be a nurse. I wanted to go out and make a difference and help people.
When I get the order for the patient, I get really excited. I travel to see the patients—sometimes for hours. I make sure that I gather all of the things that I may need to help the experienced person, and then the person that’s never even touched a needle.
I think it’s very important for me as a nurse to go and teach these patients. Not only to teach them how to give themselves the medicine, but also to just come and give them encouragement, and show them kindness and patience.
When I go to see the patient, I can’t wait to travel, no matter how far it is. I have a training kit that has a training syringe in it. And that helps us so that we can practice before we do the real thing.
I can’t wait to go and meet them, and see where they are in their life, and be excited for them.
I help them to relax. Sometimes they can just take a deep breath, we’ll go slow, think about their favorite place, think about something that reminds them and makes them happy and calms them down.
I went to this patient’s house and he seemed very standoffish. You could tell that the patient was just not comfortable. He was anxious, he wouldn’t give me eye contact. So, I asked the parents, “Would it be OK if I just come back the next day?”
I think it’s very important to just be patient. Make it into their routine and let them go at their own pace. We have time. They have set aside this time for us to learn. And for me to teach.
Sometimes at the end of the training, I’ll get some questions about, “You know, we did great today, but what else? What if when you leave, I don’t know what to do and it’s time for me to give myself my injection again?” I can refer the patient to the DUPIXENT website for more resources, and there’s also a Nurse Educator phone number.
I like to go out and do this job. It’s just really neat. It’s neat to go in and get to know people.

Let’s take a second to get situated before we begin our breathing exercise.
Find a spot where you can be still and quiet. Get into a comfortable position. This can be seated, standing, or laying down. Pause for just a moment before you begin.
Now, close your eyes and settle your mind.
Focus on your body relaxing as you settle into position. Relax your muscles; start with your toes, work upward to your arms and then your head. Transition your focus to your breath.
Slowly take a deep breath. Let your stomach expand [pause], and now your rib cage, and your chest. Pause for just a moment.
Exhale at the same pace as the inhale. Allow the breath to come steadily out of your nose until your lungs are completely empty.
Pay attention when you breathe in. First your stomach rises, then your rib cage, finally your chest. Notice each of them fall as you breathe out: chest, rib cage, stomach.
Feel your body respond as you continue to breathe.
This can be done for as long as you like. You can repeat this any time you are feeling anxious to help calm yourself.

VO:
DUPIXENT® (dupilumab) is a prescription medicine used to treat people aged 6 years and older with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (eczema) that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin (topical), or who cannot use topical therapies. DUPIXENT can be used with or without topical corticosteroids. It is not known if DUPIXENT is safe and effective in children with atopic dermatitis under 6 years of age.
Important Safety Information
Do not use if you are allergic to dupilumab or to any of the ingredients in DUPIXENT®.
Please see additional Important Safety Information throughout this video and adjacent links for Full Prescribing Information.
Before starting DUPIXENT, you should talk to your doctor about all the medical conditions you have or medications you are taking.
You and your doctor should also discuss the potential benefits and risks of treatment with DUPIXENT including the most common side effects such as injection site reactions and some serious side effects such as allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, and eye problems.
There is no cure for atopic dermatitis. DUPIXENT can help reduce the signs and symptoms of eczema. Patients’ individual results with DUPIXENT may vary.
MAX:
I prefer self-injection just because I feel like it’s more controlled when I do it.
ANA:
Max had his initial dose of 2 injections under the skin at the doctor’s office. She gave him one injection, and she taught him how to self-inject the second. I thought that we would go back there every 2 weeks to have the injection administered, but he picked it up, and he was very comfortable doing it, and he’s been self-injecting at home ever since.
ANA:
I think it’s great that he can self-inject. It’s great that he can do it at home. We have a scheduled time that he does it. But... I can’t even look.
MAX:
She doesn’t handle it very well. She gets really anxious when I’m doing it.
ANA:
I, myself, am not comfortable with needles, and I – you know, maybe it’s because it’s my son – I still get queasy, and I have to look away. I can’t, but he is ok.
