Effect of study drug IL-4RR576 polymorphism on response to dupilumab in asthma
Brief description of study
The purpose of this study is to learn if the study drug (Dupixent® Dupilumab) helps to control asthma. We are
particularly interested in understanding if people who have a certain genetic make-up (genotype) will respond better to
this treatment.
Participants will take inhaler (Dulera®mometasone/formoterol) about 2-12 weeks.
Total study duration is about 18 to 22 months. Participants will come to clinic 9 times, plus extra visits if they have an asthma flare up. Participants will also have at least 1 phone visit.
Compensation up to $900
Detailed description of study
The study consists of a one-year treatment period, followed by 6 months of observation. During the 1-year treatment period, we will ask you to come in for a study visit a total of 7 times. We will show you how to self-administer the first injection and you will be asked to give yourself the medication at home every 2 weeks. Half of the participants will receive Dupixent®, the other half will be treated with placebo. We will then follow up by phone and we will ask you to come in twice for a study visit during the observation phase.
During
the study, you would also have blood and breathing tests, give us samples of
your saliva (spit), urine, stool, and mucus, collect a dust sample from your
home, and set up an air pollution monitor in your home. You would be paid for
your time and travel expenses.
