Brief Summary:
The primary objectives of the study by study part are:
Part A:
To determine the treatment effect of dupilumab compared with placebo in adult and adolescent patients with EoE after 24 weeks of treatment as assessed by histological and clinical measures and to inform/confirm the final sample size determination for Part B.
Part B:
To demonstrate the efficacy of dupilumab treatment compared with placebo in adult and adolescent patients with EoE after 24 weeks of treatment as assessed by histological and clinical measures.
Part C:
To assess the safety and efficacy of dupilumab treatment in adult and adolescent patients with EoE after up to 52 weeks of treatment as assessed by histological and clinical measures.
The secondary objectives of the study are:
- To evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of dupilumab treatment for up to 52 weeks in adult and adolescent patients with EoE
- To explore the relationship between dupilumab concentration and responses in adult and adolescent patients with EoE, using descriptive analyses
- To evaluate the effects of dupilumab on transcriptomic signatures associated with EoE and type 2 inflammation
- To demonstrate the efficacy of dupilumab treatment compared to placebo after 24 weeks and 52 weeks of treatment in adult and adolescent patients with EoE who have previously received swallowed topical corticosteroids

Primary Outcome Measures :
- Proportion of patients achieving peak esophageal intraepithelial eosinophil count of ≤6 eosinophils per high-power field (eos/hpf) [ Time Frame: At week 24 ]
- Absolute change in Dysphagia Symptom Questionnaire (DSQ) score [ Time Frame: At week 24 ]The DSQ is used to measure the frequency and intensity of dysphagia. DSQ scores can range from 0 to 84, with a lower score indicating less-frequent or less-severe dysphagia.
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Proportion of patients achieving peak esophageal intraepithelial eosinophil count of ≤6 eosinophils per high-power field (eos/hpf) [ Time Frame: At week 52 ]
- Absolute change in Dysphagia Symptom Questionnaire (DSQ) score [ Time Frame: At week 52 ]
- Absolute change in EoE endoscopic reference score (EREFS) [ Time Frame: At week 24 ]EoE esophageal characteristics will be analyzed based on the EoE-EREFS, a scoring system for inflammatory and remodeling features of disease using both overall scores and scores for each individual characteristic. Proximal and distal esophageal regions will be scored separately; the score for each region ranges from 0 to 9 and the overall score ranges from 0 to 18.
- Absolute change in EREFS [ Time Frame: At week 52 ]
- Percent change in peak esophageal intraepithelial eosinophil count (eos/hpf) [ Time Frame: At week 24 ]
- Percent change in peak esophageal intraepithelial eosinophil count (eos/hpf) [ Time Frame: At week 52 ]
- Absolute change in EoE Grade Score from the EoE Histology Scoring System (EoEHSS) [ Time Frame: At week 24 ]EoE Grade and Stage Scores evaluate eight features: eosinophil density, basal zone hyperplasia, eosinophil abscesses, eosinophil surface layering, dilated intercellular spaces, surface epithelial alteration, dyskeratotic epithelial cells, and lamina propria fibrosis (absent/present). Severity (grade) and extent (stage) of abnormalities will be scored using a 4-point scale (0 normal; 3 maximum change).
- Absolute change in EoEHSS [ Time Frame: At week 52 ]
- Absolute change in EoE Stage Score from the EoEHSS [ Time Frame: At week 24 ]
- Absolute change in EoE Stage Score from the EoEHSS [ Time Frame: At week 52 ]
- Proportion of patients achieving peak esophageal intraepithelial eosinophil count of ≤15 eos/hpf [ Time Frame: At week 24 ]
- Proportion of patients achieving peak esophageal intraepithelial eosinophil count of ≤15 eos/hpf [ Time Frame: At week 52 ]
- Proportion of patients achieving peak esophageal intraepithelial eosinophil count of ≤1 eos/hpf [ Time Frame: At week 24 ]
- Proportion of patients achieving peak esophageal intraepithelial eosinophil count of ≤1 eos/hpf [ Time Frame: At week 52 ]
- Percent change in DSQ [ Time Frame: At week 24 ]
- Percent change in DSQ [ Time Frame: At week 52 ]
- Normalized Enrichment Scores (NES) for the relative change in the EoE diagnostic panel (EDP) transcriptome signature [ Time Frame: At week 24 ]NES reflects the degree to which the activity level of a set of transcripts is overrepresented at the extremes (top or bottom) of the entire ranked list of transcripts within a sample and is normalized by accounting for the number of transcripts in the set (Barbie, 2009)(Subramanian, 2005). NES scores will be calculated for each transcriptome signature for each sample for statistical analyses.
- NES for the relative change in the EDP transcriptome signature [ Time Frame: At week 52 ]
- NES for the relative change in the type 2 inflammation transcriptome signature [ Time Frame: At week 24 ]
- NES for the relative change in the type 2 inflammation transcriptome signature [ Time Frame: At week 52 ]
- Absolute change in health-related Quality of Life (QOL) as measured by EoE Impact Questionnaire (EoE-IQ) [ Time Frame: At week 24 ]The EoE-IQ is a disease-specific measure of health-related QOL in EoE patients. The EoE-IQ measures EoE impact on emotional, social, work and school, and sleep aspect of a patient.
- Absolute change in health-related QOL as measured by EoE-IQ [ Time Frame: At week 52 ]
- Absolute change in severity and/or frequency of EoE symptoms other than dysphagia [ Time Frame: At week 24 ]
- Absolute change in severity and/or frequency of EoE symptoms other than dysphagia [ Time Frame: At week 52 ]
- Portion of patients with use of rescue medications or procedures during the placebo-controlled treatment period [ Time Frame: At week 24 ]
- Portion of patients with use of rescue medications or procedures during the placebo-controlled treatment period [ Time Frame: At week 52 ]

- Absolute change in esophageal distensibility plateau measured by functional lumen imagining [ Time Frame: At week 52 ]
- Concentration of functional dupilumab in serum [ Time Frame: Up to week 52 ]
- Incidence of treatment-emergent anti-drug antibody (ADA) responses and titer [ Time Frame: Up to week 52 ]
