There is a paucity of evidence regarding its efficacy and safety in pediatrics. Pediatric\u2010specific data are limited, and most evidence comes from recent phase 3 trials and post hoc analyses.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To summarize the current evidence of the efficacy, safety, and biomarker effects of dupilumab in children with moderate\u2010to\u2010severe asthma, while identifying key gaps in the pediatric evidence base.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study is a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines, and aims to assess the efficacy, safety, and biomarker response of dupilumab in pediatric patients with moderate to severe asthma. We evaluated the studies using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool 2.0.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Six studies from 2021 to 2024 met the inclusion criteria: three of them are phase 3 randomized controlled trials and the other three post hoc analyses, mostly including children aged 6\u201311 years with type 2 inflammation, defined by elevated blood eosinophils and\/or FeNO. Both allergic and nonallergic asthma phenotypes were represented across studies, with post hoc analyses indicating consistent benefit in each group. Dupilumab decreased the rate of severe exacerbations annually by 59.3% in children with type 2 inflammation. The study populations are mainly children between 6 and 11 years of age with moderate\u2010to\u2010severe asthma, characterized by eosinophilic or allergic phenotypes (type 2 asthma), including those with elevated blood eosinophils and\/or FeNO levels. Dupilumab reduced the annual rate of severe exacerbation by ~59%, with greater reductions in children with FeNO \u226550 ppb (69%) or eosinophils \u2265300 cells\/\u00b5L (65%). The lung function showed improvement by 0.15\u20130.30\u2009L in pre\u2010bronchodilator FEV\u2081, accompanied by gains in asthma control and quality of life. Biomarker reductions (FeNO, eosinophils, IgE, TARC) were consistent across phenotypes. Adverse event rates were like placebo; eosinophilia and injection site reactions were more common but usually mild.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This systematic review provides an early synthesis of emerging pediatric phase 3 evidence on dupilumab. While results suggest substantial benefits in reducing exacerbations, improving lung function, and modulating type 2 biomarkers, the evidence remains limited to short\u2010term studies in a narrow age range. Longer\u2010term follow\u2010up, broader age representation, and real\u2010world data are needed to define the long\u2010term role of dupilumab in pediatric asthma.<\/jats:p>\n
