EAACI: Dupixent demonstrated superiority over Xolair (omalizumab) in chronic rhinosinusitis with
nasal polyps in patients with coexisting asthma in first-ever presented phase 4 head-to-head respiratory study
Paris and Tarrytown, NY, June 15, 2025. Sanofi and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. today presented positive results from the
EVEREST phase 4 study of adults with severe chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and coexisting asthma. In the study, Dupixent (dupilumab) outperformed Xolair (omalizumab) on all primary and secondary efficacy endpoints of CRSwNP, and
in all asthma-related endpoints. The data are from the first-ever presented head-to-head respiratory study with biologic medicines and were shared today in a
late-breaking oral presentation at the 2025 European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) Annual Congress, Glasgow, UK.

Patients suffering from chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps often live with the constant
obstruction of their nasal passages that can lead to burdensome nasal congestion and loss of smell. What s more, a majority of these individuals also have asthma that can substantially impact their quality of life. EVEREST is the first-ever
trial to demonstrate the superiority of Dupixent over Xolair on CRSwNP endpoints in patients with coexisting asthma, along with generally similar safety profiles. Together, these Dupixent outcomes provide important insights that will help guide
patients and physicians through the treatment decision-making process.
In the EVEREST study, 360 adults with severe, uncontrolled CRSwNP
and coexisting asthma were randomized to receive Dupixent 300 mg (n=181) every two weeks or a weight- and immunoglobulin E (IgE) level-based dosing regimen of omalizumab (n=179) every two or four weeks. Both Dupixent and omalizumab were added
to background mometasone furoate nasal spray (MFNS).
Primary and secondary endpoint results in CRSwNP for patients treated with Dupixent compared to
omalizumab at 24 weeks were as follows with differences were seen as early as four weeks:
Asthma endpoint results for patients treated with Dupixent
compared to omalizumab at 24 weeks were as follows, with differences seen as early as four weeks:
The safety results in the EVEREST study were generally consistent with the
known safety profile of Dupixent in its approved respiratory indications, with similar overall rates of adverse events (AEs) observed between Dupixent (64%) and omalizumab (67%). Serious AEs were reported in 2% and 4% of patients treated with
Dupixent and omalizumab, respectively. Additionally, AEs leading to study discontinuation were reported in 3% of Dupixent patients and 1% of omalizumab patients.
About the Dupixent phase 4 study
EVEREST is a randomized,
double-blind phase 4 study comparing the efficacy and safety of Dupixent to omalizumab in adults with severe, uncontrolled CRSwNP and coexisting mild, moderate, or severe asthma. During the 24-week study,
patients received Dupixent 300 mg every two weeks or omalizumab 75 to 600 mg every two or four weeks, which was added to background MFNS. Omalizumab dosing was determined based on body weight and serum total IgE levels as per the approved label. All
endpoints were assessed at 24 weeks.
The primary endpoints assessed change from baseline in nasal polyp score (scale: 0-8) and the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (scale: 0-40). Secondary endpoints included change from baseline in nasal congestion (scale: 0-3), loss of smell (scale: 0-3), total symptom score (scale: 0-9), SNOT-22 (scale: 0-110), peak nasal inspiratory flow, and rhinosinusitis disease severity (visual analogue scale: 0-10 cm). Other endpoints assessed
pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume over one second and the 7-item Asthma Control Questionnaire (scale: 0-6).
Dupixent (dupilumab) is a fully human
monoclonal antibody that inhibits the signaling of the interleukin-4 (IL4) and interleukin-13 (IL13) pathways and is not an immunosuppressant. The Dupixent development
program has shown significant clinical benefit and a decrease in type 2 inflammation in phase 3 studies, establishing that IL4 and IL13 are two of the key and central drivers of the type 2 inflammation that plays a major role in multiple related and
often co-morbid diseases.
1 Statistically significant.
2 Nominally significant as the endpoint was not included in the multiplicity adjustment hierarchy.
Dupixent has received regulatory approvals in more than 60 countries in one or more indications
including certain patients with atopic dermatitis, asthma, CRSwNP, eosinophilic esophagitis, prurigo nodularis, chronic spontaneous urticaria, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in different age populations. More than one million patients are
being treated with Dupixent globally.
Dupilumab development program
Dupilumab is being jointly developed by Sanofi and Regeneron under a global collaboration agreement. To date, dupilumab has been studied across more than
60 clinical studies involving more than 10,000 patients with various chronic diseases driven in part by type 2 inflammation.
currently approved indications, Sanofi and Regeneron are studying dupilumab in a broad range of diseases driven by type 2 inflammation or other allergic processes in phase 3 studies, including chronic pruritus of unknown origin, bullous pemphigoid,
and lichen simplex chronicus. These potential uses of dupilumab are currently under clinical investigation, and the safety and efficacy in these conditions have not been fully evaluated by any regulatory authority.
