Evaluation of Dupilumab in Patients With Severe Steroid Dependent Asthma

Summary

Primary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab, compared with placebo, for reducing the use of maintenance oral corticosteroids (OCS) in participants with severe steroid-dependent asthma. Secondary Objectives: * To evaluate the safety and tolerability of dupilumab. * To evaluate the effect of dupilumab in improving participants-reported outcomes. * To evaluate dupilumab systemic exposure and the incidence of treatment-emergent antidrug antibodies.
