Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this study is to test the efficacy of Dupixent in improving post-burn itching symptoms versus the current standard of care.


Description:

Participants will receive six injections of Dupixent or placebo (two 300 mg loading doses and one 300 mg dose every two weeks after that). In addition, they will be asked to complete questionnaires to determine daily itch severity, quality of life, treatment benefit, physical functioning, and pain interference. Individual participants will require 13 weeks to complete all study visits.
