Objective: We assessed the efficacy and safety of Dupilumab in patients with moderate-to-severe asthma through a systematic review. Methods: Four databases were searched until May 2022 for studies assessing Dupilumab versus control in patients with moderate-to-severe asthma. The primary outcomes were change in baseline FEV1 and annualized severe asthma exacerbations rate, and secondary outcomes were change in FeNO and Asthma Control Questionnaire 5 score. Safety was evaluated with adverse events, severe adverse events and mortality. Inverse variance and random effect meta-analyses were performed. The strength of evidence was assessed using GRADE. Results: In adults, the use of Dupilumab at doses less than 200mg and greater than 300mg increased FEV1 compared with placebo by 0.14 (MD) (95% CI 0.04 – 0.24; p < 0.01; I2 = 100%) and 0.18 (MD) (CI 95% 0.13 – 0.23; p < 0.01; I2 = 99%) respectively. In children, the use of dupilumab increased FEV1 by 0.13 (MD) (95% CI 0.13-0.14; p < 0.01; I2 = 96%) compared to placebo. No significant differences were found with respect to adverse events, serious adverse events, and mortality between patients receiving Dupilumab versus placebo. Conclusions: The use of Dupilumab is effective and safe in the treatment of moderate to severe asthma. The published evidence is insufficient and of low quality to recommend its use in adults and of moderate quality to recommend its use in children.
