Exclusion Criteria:

• Medical conditions
• Previous treatment with dupilumab within 6 months prior to screening.
• Skin conditions other than AD that can confound assessments in the area of TEWL assessments in the opinion of the investigator (ie, skin atrophy, ichthyosis, Netherton syndrome, severe photo damage).
• Cracked, crusted, oozing, or bleeding AD lesions in the designated lesional assessment area leaving insufficient skin that is adequate for TEWL assessments.
• Ocular disorder that in the opinion of the investigator could adversely affect the individual's risk for study participation. Examples include -but are not limited toindividuals with a history of active cases of herpes keratitis; Sjogren's syndrome, keratoconjunctivitis sicca or dry eye syndrome that require daily use of supplemental lubrication; or individuals with ocular conditions that require the use of ocular corticosteroids or cyclosporine.

Examples include, but are not limited to patients with short life expectancy, patients with uncontrolled diabetes (hemoglobin A1c ≥9%), patients with cardiovascular conditions (eg, Class III or IV cardiac failure according to the New York Heart Association classification), severe renal conditions (eg, patients on dialysis), hepato-biliary conditions (eg, Child-Pugh class B or C), neurological conditions (eg, demyelinating diseases), active major autoimmune diseases (eg, lupus, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, etc), other severe endocrinological, gastrointestinal, metabolic, pulmonary, psychiatric (known suicidal intentions),lymphatic diseases, or any illness(es) that resulted in prior or current use of chemotherapy or radiation . The specific justification for patients excluded under this criterion will be noted in study documents (chart notes, electronic case report forms [eCRF], screening logs, etc).
