- Participant must be at least 18 (or the legal age of consent in the jurisdiction in which the study is taking place) years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.
- Patients with a physician diagnosis of asthma (according to Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) 2021) for ≥12 months
- Treatment with medium to high dose inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) in combination with a second controller (eg, long-acting beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonists (LABA), leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRA) with a stable dose ≥1 month prior to Visit 1. Patients requiring a third controller for their asthma will be considered eligible for this study, and it should also be on stable dose ≥1 month prior to Visit 1. Patients requiring an additional controller as a fourth controller (Montelukast) for another type 2 comorbid condition such as allergic rhinitis will be considered eligible for this study, and should be on a stable dose for ≥1 month prior to Visit 1.
- Pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume (FEV1) ≤ 80% of predicted normal for adults at Visits 1 and 2, prior to randomization
- Asthma Control Questionnaire 5-question version (ACQ-5) score ≥1.5 at Visits 1 and 2, prior to randomization.
- Variable airflow obstruction as documented by one or more of the following (at least 1 needs to be met):
Show all 11Show fewer
- Positive reversibility test: ≥12% and 200 mL improvement in FEV1 after SABA administration prior to randomization, or documented in the 24 months prior to Visit 1. OR, ii) Positive bronchial challenge test: fall in FEV1 of ≥20% with standard doses of methacholine, or ≥15% with standardized hyperventilation, hypertonic saline or mannitol challenge prior to randomization or documented in the 24 months prior to Visit 1 OR, iii) Average daily diurnal Peak flow variability of >10% over a 2-week period, documented in the past 24 months prior to Screening Visit 1. OR, iv) Airflow variability in clinic FEV1 >12% and 200 mL between visits outside of respiratory infections, documented in the past 24 months prior to Screening Visit 1. OR v) FEV1 increases by more than 12% and 200mL from baseline after 4 weeks of anti-inflammatory treatment.
- Reversibility test: Three attempts may be made during the Screening Period until the Baseline visit to meet the qualifying criteria for reversibility. This is only required if reversibility or other evidence of expiratory airflow limitation eligibility criteria was not performed within 24 months prior to Visit 1.
- FeNO ≥35 ppb at Visit 2, prior to randomization.
- History of ≥1 severe exacerbation(s) in the previous year before Visit1 defined as a deterioration of asthma requiring:
- Use of systemic corticosteroids for ≥3 days; or ii) Hospitalization or emergency room visit because of asthma, requiring systemic corticosteroids.
Who cannot join
- Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply:
- History or clinical evidence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) including Asthma-COPD Overlap Syndrome (ACOS) or any other significant lung disease (eg, emphysema, lung fibrosis, sarcoidosis, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, bronchiectasis, Churg-Strauss Syndrome).
- Severe asthma exacerbation requiring treatment with systemic corticosteroid (SCS) in the past month before visit 1 or during the screening period.
- Current acute bronchospasm or status asthmaticus.
- Diagnosed pulmonary (other than asthma) or systemic disease associated with elevated peripheral eosinophil counts.
- Severe concomitant illness(es) that, in the Investigator's judgment, would adversely affect the participant's participation in the study. Examples include, but are not limited to, participants with short life expectancy, uncontrolled diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, severe renal conditions (eg, participants on dialysis), or other severe endocrinological, gastrointestinal, metabolic, pulmonary, psychiatric, or lymphatic diseases. The specific justification for participants excluded under this criterion will be noted in the study documents (chart notes, case report forms [CRFs], etc).

- Patients with active tuberculosis (TB) or non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection, or a history of incompletely treated TB will be excluded from the study unless it is well documented by a specialist that the participant has been adequately treated and can now start treatment with a biologic agent, in the medical judgment of the Investigator and/or infectious disease specialist. Tuberculosis testing will be performed on a country by country basis, according to local guidelines if required by regulatory authorities or ethics boards, or if TB is suspected by the investigator
- Known or suspected immunodeficiency, including history of invasive opportunistic infections (eg, histoplasmosis, listeriosis, coccidioidomycosis, pneumocystosis, and aspergillosis) despite infection resolution, or otherwise recurrent infections of abnormal frequency or prolonged duration suggesting an immune-compromised status, as judged by the Investigator.
- Active malignancy or history of malignancy within 5 years before Visit 1 (screening visit), except completely treated in situ carcinoma of the cervix and completely treated and resolved non metastatic squamous or basal cell carcinoma of the skin.
- Active chronic or acute infection requiring treatment with systemic antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals or receiving only symptomatic treatment (e.g. influenza or COVID-19) within 2 weeks before the screening visit (Visit 1) or during the screening period.
- History of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or positive HIV 1/2 serology at Visit 1 (screening visit).
- Diagnosed with, suspected of, or at high risk of endoparasitic infection, and/or use of antiparasitic drugs within 2 weeks before Visit 1 (screening visit) or during the screening and run-in period
- Current smoker (cigarette or e-cigarette) or cessation of smoking within 6 months prior to Visit 1.
- Previous smoker with a smoking history >10 pack-years.
- History of systemic hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis to dupilumab or any other biologic therapy, including any excipient.
- Any biologic therapy (including experimental treatments and dupilumab) or any other biologic therapy/immunosuppressant/immunomodulators within 4 weeks prior to V1 or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer.
- Treatment with a live (attenuated) vaccine within 4 weeks before Visit 1 (screening visit) or during the screening period.
- The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.

About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled Study Assessing the Long-term Effect of Dupilumab on Prevention of Lung Function Decline in Patients With Uncontrolled Moderate to Severe Asthma
This is an interventional, randomized, parallel group, treatment, Phase 3b/4, double blind, 2-arm study to assess the effect of dupilumab compared to standard of care therapy on preventing or slowing the rate of lung function decline in adult patients with uncontrolled moderate to severe asthma.
The estimated duration is 4±1 weeks of screening and run-in period, followed by a 3-year double blinded treatment period. There will be a post-treatment follow-up (FU) period up to 12 weeks.

Key inclusion criteria (11 listed)
- Participant must be at least 18 (or the legal age of consent in the jurisdiction in which the study is taking place) years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.
- Patients with a physician diagnosis of asthma (according to Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) 2021) for ≥12 months
- Treatment with medium to high dose inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) in combination with a second controller (eg, long-acting beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonists (LABA), leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRA) with a stable dose ≥1 month prior to Visit 1. Patients requiring a third controller for their asthma will be considered eligible for this study, and it should also be on stable dose ≥1 month prior to Visit 1. Patients requiring an additional controller as a fourth controller (Montelukast) for another type 2 comorbid condition such as allergic rhinitis will be considered eligible for this study, and should be on a stable dose for ≥1 month prior to Visit 1.
- Pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume (FEV1) ≤ 80% of predicted normal for adults at Visits 1 and 2, prior to randomization
- Asthma Control Questionnaire 5-question version (ACQ-5) score ≥1.5 at Visits 1 and 2, prior to randomization.
Key exclusion criteria (18 listed)
- History or clinical evidence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) including Asthma-COPD Overlap Syndrome (ACOS) or any other significant lung disease (eg, emphysema, lung fibrosis, sarcoidosis, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, bronchiectasis, Churg-Strauss Syndrome).
- Severe asthma exacerbation requiring treatment with systemic corticosteroid (SCS) in the past month before visit 1 or during the screening period.
- Current acute bronchospasm or status asthmaticus.
- Diagnosed pulmonary (other than asthma) or systemic disease associated with elevated peripheral eosinophil counts.
- Severe concomitant illness(es) that, in the Investigator's judgment, would adversely affect the participant's participation in the study. Examples include, but are not limited to, participants with short life expectancy, uncontrolled diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, severe renal conditions (eg, participants on dialysis), or other severe endocrinological, gastrointestinal, metabolic, pulmonary, psychiatric, or lymphatic diseases. The specific justification for participants excluded under this criterion will be noted in the study documents (chart notes, case report forms [CRFs], etc).
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening; this overview does not establish that a patient qualifies. Full inclusion and exclusion criteria.

A Phase 4 study testing Dupilumab in people with Asthma, run by Sanofi at 249 sites in 23 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 18 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 249 sites in United States, China, Canada, India, Mexico and 18 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Rate of change from week 8 to week 52 on post-BD FEV1 slope in FeNO population (time frame: Week 8 to Week 52). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05097287, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Apr 2026.
