    Participant Flow

    Recruitment Details The study was conducted at 90 active centers in 17 countries. A total of 631 participants were screened between 21 April 2017 and 22 July 2019, of which 408 participants were enrolled and randomized to receive dupilumab or placebo. A total of 223 participants failed screening mainly due to failure to meet inclusion criteria.
    Pre-assignment Detail Randomization was stratified by inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) dose level (medium or high), blood eosinophils count (less than [<] 300 cells per microliter and greater than or equal to [>=] 300 cells per microliter), and region (Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Western countries). Treatment assignment was done by Interactive Voice/Web Response System (2:1 ratio) to receive dupilumab or placebo.
    Arm/Group Title Placebo Dupilumab
    Arm/Group Description Placebo (for Dupilumab), subcutaneous (SC) injection every 2 weeks (q2w) for 52 weeks in combination with stable-dose background therapy of medium-dose ICS with a second controller medication (i.e., long-acting β2 agonist [LABA], long acting muscarinic antagonist [LAMA], leukotriene receptor antagonist [LTRA] or methylxanthines) or high-dose ICS alone or high-dose ICS with second controller medication. Albuterol/salbutamol or levalbuterol/levosalbutamol was given as reliever medication. Participants were followed up for 12 weeks after last dose (i.e. up to Week 64). Dupilumab 200 milligrams (mg) (in 1.14 milliliters [mL] for >30 kilograms (kg) bodyweight [BW]) or 100 mg (in 0.67 mL for <=30 kg BW), SC injection q2w for 52 weeks in combination with stable-dose background therapy of medium-dose ICS with a second controller medication (i.e., LABA, LAMA, LTRA or methylxanthines) or high-dose ICS alone or high-dose ICS with second controller medication. Albuterol/salbutamol or levalbuterol/levosalbutamol was given as reliever medication. Participants were followed up for 12 weeks after last dose (i.e. up to Week 64).

    Comments Risk ratio and p-value was derived using negative binomial model with total number of events onset from randomization up to Week 52 visit or last contact date (whichever comes earlier) as response variable, with treatment group, age, baseline weight group, region, baseline eosinophil level, baseline FeNO level, baseline ICS dose level and number of severe exacerbation events within 1 year prior to study as covariates and log-transformed standardized observation duration as an offset variable.
    Type of Statistical Test Superiority
    Comments To control the type-I error rate for the analysis of outcome measure, a hierarchical testing procedure was applied at a 2-sided 5% significant level. Testing was then performed sequentially in the order endpoints were reported. Hierarchical testing sequence continued only if the previous endpoint was statistically significant.

    Description FEV1 was the volume of air (in liters) exhaled from the lungs in the first second of a forced expiration as measured by spirometer. LS means and SE were derived from MMRM model with change from baseline in pre-bronchodilator % predicted FEV1 values up to Week 52 as the response variable, and treatment, baseline weight group, region, ethnicity, baseline eosinophil level, baseline FeNO level, baseline ICS dose level, visit, treatment by-visit interaction, baseline % predicted FEV1 value and baseline-by-visit interaction as covariates.

    Title Change From Baseline in Forced Expiratory Flow 25-75% at Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 52: Baseline Blood Eosinophils >=300 Cells Per Microliter Population
    Description FEF is the amount of air (in liters) which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs in the first second of a forced exhalation. FEF 25-75% was defined as the mean FEF between 25% and 75% of the FVC, where FVC was defined as the volume of air (in liters) that can be forcibly blown out after full inspiration in the upright position. LS means and SE were derived from MMRM model with change from baseline in FE F25-75% values up to Week 52 as the response variable, and treatment, age, baseline weight group, region, sex, ethnicity, baseline height, baseline eosinophil level, baseline FeNO level, baseline ICS dose level, visit, treatment by-visit interaction, baseline FEF 25-75% value and baseline-by-visit interaction as covariates.

    Description ACQ-5-IA has 5 questions, reflecting top-scoring 5 asthma symptoms: frequency of nocturnal awakenings, severity of asthma symptoms in the mornings, limitation of daily activities, shortness of breath due to asthma and wheeze. Participants were asked to recall how their asthma had been during the previous week and to respond to each of the five symptom questions on a 7-point scale ranging from 0 (no impairment) to 6 (maximum impairment). ACQ-5-IA total score was mean of the scores of all 5 questions and, therefore, ranged from 0 (totally controlled) to 6 (severely uncontrolled), higher scores indicated lower asthma control. LS means and SE were derived from MMRM model with change from baseline in ACQ-5-IA values up to Week 52 as the response variable, and treatment, age, baseline weight group, region, baseline eosinophil level, baseline FeNO level, baseline ICS dose level, visit, treatment by-visit interaction, baseline ACQ-5-IA value and baseline-by-visit interaction as covariates.

    Title Change From Baseline in Asthma Control Questionnaire-Interviewer Administered, 5-question Version at Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, and 52: Baseline Blood Eosinophils >=300 Cells Per Microliter Population
    Description ACQ-5-IA has 5 questions, reflecting top-scoring 5 asthma symptoms: frequency of nocturnal awakenings, severity of asthma symptoms in the mornings, limitation of daily activities, shortness of breath due to asthma and wheeze. Participants were asked to recall how their asthma had been during the previous week and to respond to each of the five symptom questions on a 7-point scale ranging from 0 (no impairment) to 6 (maximum impairment). ACQ-5-IA total score was mean of the scores of all 5 questions and, therefore, ranged from 0 (totally controlled) to 6 (severely uncontrolled), higher scores indicated lower asthma control. LS means and SE were derived from MMRM model with change from baseline in ACQ-5-IA values up to Week 52 as the response variable, and treatment, age, baseline weight group, region, baseline eosinophil level, baseline FeNO level, baseline ICS dose level, visit, treatment by-visit interaction, baseline ACQ-5-IA value and baseline-by-visit interaction as covariates.

    Description PAQLQ(S)-IA, a disease-specific, interviewer-administered QoL questionnaire designed to measure functional impairments that are most important to children >=7 years with asthma. The PAQLQ(S)-IA comprises of 23 items in 3 domains: symptoms (10 items), activity limitation (5 items) and emotional function (8 items). Each item was scored on a 7-point likert scale (1=maximal impairment to 7=no impairment). 23 items of questionnaire were averaged to produce 1 overall quality of life score ranging from 1 (severely impaired) to 7 (not impaired at all), higher scores indicated better quality of life. LS means and SE were derived from MMRM model with change from baseline in PAQLQ(S)-IA global score values up to Week 52 as the response variable, and treatment, age, baseline weight group, region, baseline eosinophil level, baseline FeNO level, baseline ICS dose level, visit, treatment by-visit interaction, baseline PAQLQ(S)-IA global score value and baseline-by-visit interaction as covariates.
