NCT04701983 is a Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel Group Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of SAR440340/REGN3500/Itepekimab (Anti-IL-33 mAb) in Patients With Moderate-to-severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. April 2020: Removed from Sanofi pipeline for atopic dermatis. In June 2019, Regeneron and Sanofi announced that the Phase 2 study in asthma met the primary endpoint of improvement in loss of asthma control when comparing REGN3500 monotherapy to placebo. In the trial, the greatest improvement was observed in patients with blood eosinophil levels ≥300 cells/microliter. Patients treated with Dupixent monotherapy did numerically better than REGN3500 across all endpoints. The combination of REGN3500 and Dupixent did not demonstrate increased benefit compared to Dupixent monotherapy in this trial. NCT03736967 Phase 2 study in atopic dermatitis started in Nov 2018. NCT03387852 Phase 2 in moderate-to-severe asthma; Phase 1 study in patients with mild asthma initiated in the first quarter of 2017; also intended for COPD
