Plain-language summary
This is a 2-year, open-label, exploratory study with a 4-week screening period and a 104-week treatment phase designed to investigate dupilumab's long-term effect on skin barrier function as measured by transepidermal water loss (TEWL) before and after skin tape stripping (STS) in approximately 48 pediatric participants (aged ≥6 and \<15 years at study entry) with moderate-to-severe AD. All eligible participants with AD will be treated with Dupixent® for 104 weeks according to locally approved Dupixent® product label (in country/region where the study is conducted). After the 104-week treatment phase and the last assessment at the End of Treatment (EoT), participants will be followed-up for 4 weeks and an End-of-Study (EoS) visit by telephone at 4 weeks after the EoT visit will end the study for each participant. The maximum duration of the study per participant will be 112 weeks (including screening period).
The study population will include approximately 48 pediatric participants with AD for long-term treatment with dupilumab:
* Treatment cohort 1 - newly recruited participants with AD (aged ≥6 to \<12 years at study entry)
* Treatment cohort 2 - any former PELISTAD participants (from the previous 16-week treatment study \[PELISTAD/LPS16764\] who consent to participate in this long-term study; aged ≥6 to \<15 years at entry to this study)

Inclusion Criteria:
Age
* For new participants: ≥6 to \<12 years of age (inclusive), at the time of signing the informed consent.
* For former PELISTAD participants: ≥6 to \<15 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent.
Type of participant and disease characteristics
* With AD diagnosis according to Hanifin and Rajka criteria at least 1 year before screening.
* Applicable to new participants only: Validated Investigator Global Assessment for AD (vIGA AD™) score of ≥3 (for US and Canada participants) or ≥4 (for UK participants) at screening (on the 0 to 4 scale) depending on the approved vIGA-AD™ label indication in the country.
* Applicable to new participants only: Have active lesions on the upper limbs or lower limbs (including trunk, if needed), with severity for lesion erythema or edema/papulation ≥2 at screening on the 0 to 3 scale of the ISS.
* Applicable to all participants: Should have a non-lesional (normal looking) skin area 4 cm from the edge of the lesional area. If unable to identify non-lesional skin 4 cm from the lesional area, it is acceptable to identify normal looking skin as close to the lesion as possible.
* Willing to refrain from applying any topical medications on the target assessment areas (including lesional and non-lesional) throughout the study until EoS unless necessary to alleviate intolerable symptoms.
* Willing and able to comply with all clinic visits and study-related procedures. Weight
* Body weight ≥15 kg at screening.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
