    A retrospective cohort analysis compared outcomes in children ≤6 years on dupilumab plus standard treatment versus standard treatment alone.

  • 3

    Dupilumab therapy was associated with reduced acute exacerbations, oral corticosteroid use, and emergency room visits at 6 and 12 months.

  • 4

    The risk of anaphylaxis was higher in children receiving dupilumab compared to those on standard treatment alone.
