Observational Study of Canadian Patients (6 Years or Older) Receiving Dupixent® for Moderate to Severe Atopic Dermatitis
Study Overview
This is a prospective, 18-month observational study of adult, adolescent and pediatric Canadian participants with Atopic Dermatitis (AD) commonly known as Eczema, who receive treatment with Dupixent for moderate-to-severe AD (msAD) according to the Canadian-specific prescribing information (in accordance with the Canadian Dupixent Product Monograph). The study will be conducted in approximately 30 centers in Canada to assess participants of all ethnicities and races. At each participating site, all AD participants who receive an initial prescription for Dupixent will be invited to participate in this study, until the Canadian enrollment goal is achieved.
