Regeneron Announces FDA priority review of Dupixent® (Dupilumab) for the treatment of COPD with type 2 inflammation

On 23 February 2024, Regeneron and Sanofi announced that the FDA has accepted to priority review their Dupixent®’s supplemental biologics license application (sBLA) for a 6th indication of uncontrolled chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults. The target action date for the FDA decision is 27 June 2024.  Priority review was granted following positive results from two phase 3 trials. Notably, if approved, Dupixent® would be the first new treatment for COPD in over a decade and the only biologic for this disease.
