| Abstract | Background Dupilumab inhibiting the signaling of interleukin(IL)-4 and IL-13 was recommended for the treatment of severe asthma in children ≥ 6 years old according to the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA,2024).This study aimed to analyse the efficacy and safety of dupilumab in paediatric patients with moderate-to-severe asthma and comorbid type 2 inflammatory disease in a real-world population. Methods We evaluated the medical records of paediatric patients with moderate-to-severe asthma and comorbid type 2 inflammatory diseases, such as atopic dermatitis (AD) and allergic rhinitis (AR), receiving dupilumab treatment. Results Twenty-five children (16 boys; mean age, 9.32 ± 2.58 years) were included. All the patients were diagnosed with moderate-to-severe asthma, 92% (23/25) with AR, and 64.0% (16/25) with AD. Among the 25 patients, no severe adverse reactions occurred, the times of severe asthma exacerbation were significantly lower, and the Asthma Control Test (ACT) / Child-Asthma Control Test (C-ACT) scores were significantly higher than those before the 24-week dupilumab treatment (all P = 0.00). The Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure(POEM) and Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale(NRS), Rhinitis Four-point, and Rhinitis Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) scores were significantly lower than those at baseline (all P < 0.05). After receiving 24-week dupilumab treatment, the serum total immunoglobulin E (tIgE) and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) level were reduced by 56.54% and 70.47% respectively at the 24th week (P = 0.00); the lung function parameters including large airways such as percent predicted forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1% pred) and small airways like percent predicted forced expiratory flow at 25–75%, were significantly higher than those before dupilumab (all P < 0.05). Conclusions Dupilumab reduced asthma exacerbations and improved symptom control without severe adverse reactions in paediatric patients with moderate-to-severe asthma and comorbid type 2 inflammatory diseases. It also decreased biomarkers of type 2 inflammation and improved lung function parameters, including both large and small airways. Considering the racial diversity, a large real-world study in China is required to confirm the role of dupilumab in paediatric patients with moderate-to-severe asthma and comorbid type 2 inflammatory diseases. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
