Analysis of change at Week 52 was not multiplicity controlled; result is descriptive.

  • Week 24 (SINUS-52): 72% improvement in UPSIT score with DUPIXENT vs 6% worsening with placebo4,c

cWeek 24 in SINUS-52 (key secondary endpoint). LSM difference between DUPIXENT 300 mg Q2W + INCS (n=150) and placebo + INCS (n=153): 10.77 (95% CI: 8.98, 12.56) (9.96 from a baseline score of 13.46 vs -0.81 from a baseline score of 13.78, respectively).4
