The First and Only EoE Treatment for Children as Young as 1 Year Old (≥33 lb)
DUPIXENT was studied in 61 pediatric patients ages 1 to 11 years old (weighing at least 33 lb) with EoE in a 2-part study.
Caregivers observed that children experienced fewer days with EoE signs and symptoms as early as 4 months and 1 year.*
*As measured by the Pediatric EoE Sign/Symptom Questionnaire-Caregiver (PESQ-C). The items in the PESQ-C included stomach pain, heartburn, acid reflux, regurgitation, vomiting, difficulty swallowing, food getting stuck, and food refusal.
The most common side effects of DUPIXENT in patients with EoE include:
- Injection site reactions
- Upper respiratory tract infections
- Cold sores in your mouth or on your lips
- Joint pain (arthralgia)

Discussion Guide
Finding New Hope with DUPIXENT
After a lifetime of reactions to various foods, Liv was
diagnosed with EoE at age 13. After trying other EoE
treatments, a specialist suggested trying DUPIXENT. Hear
how Liv is now thinking less about EoE and experiencing
fewer symptoms.
Individual results may vary.
Sara:
My name is Sara. This is my daughter Liv. Liv is a high school teenager, loves sports, hanging with her friends, creating art. She was also diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis.
Liv:
I wasn’t diagnosed with EoE until I was 13, but I think I’ve had it my whole life.
Sara:
Liv has had reactions to different foods, everything from melons, honey, some vegetables, soy products, eggs for sure.
Liv’s reactions were often coughing, choking, throwing up.
Liv:
When my esophagus is inflamed, it feels really itchy and irritated and it just hurts a lot.
Sara:
We tried a lot of different treatments. We just kind of accepted that this was going to be the way life was going to be moving forward.
One day our allergist talked to us about DUPIXENT. DUPIXENT reduces the eosinophils in the esophagus that contribute to inflammation. It was a really big change for us.
Before Liv started DUPIXENT, I told her doctor about all the medical conditions she had and medications she was taking.
Her doctor and I talked about the potential benefits and risks of treatment, including the most common side effects such as injection site reactions…
…and some serious side effects, such as allergic reactions that can sometimes be severe and joint aches and pain.
We started seeing improvements in her symptoms in just a few weeks. The next time Liv had an endoscopy, we saw a reduction in inflammation.
I was very excited for Liv. Of course, this is just our experience, everyone’s experience with DUPIXENT is different.
Liv:
It’s easier for me to swallow. I don’t have to think about EoE as much when I’m eating meals or snacks and I don’t have to constantly be checking in on my throat just to be like: Am I having a reaction? Is this hurting?
Sara:
As a mom, it’s so great to see Liv eat and swallow with less difficulty. And for her to be able to go out and think less about EoE. Just really proud!

Managing EoE at School
Mealtimes can cause challenges for children with EoE, especially at school. Here are a few steps you can take to help teachers and administrators understand your child’s needs.
Communicate with Your Child's Doctor
An EoE specialist can help you understand how to advocate for your child and help you understand what to prioritize while they’re in the classroom.
Seek Accommodations
EoE qualifies as a disability under Section 504, a federal statute designed to prevent discrimination. Creating a 504 plan helps ensure that the school takes steps to help your child stay safe.
Collaborate with Teachers
Meeting with your child’s teacher allows you to explain EoE symptoms, answer questions, and create an open line of communication throughout the school year.
