For main-study excluded Japan: The mean (standard deviation [SD]) age of the exposed population at Week 0 was 9.9 (1.6) years. Approximately 64.1% of participants were male and 35.9% were female. Most participants (89.3%) were Caucasian/White. For Japan sub-study: The mean (SD) age of the enrolled population was 9.69 (1.11) years. Nine (69.2%) participants were males, and 4 (30.8%) participants were females.

For main-study excluded Japan: - Enrolled and treated: 365 (Placebo-Dupilumab: 125, Dupilumab-Dupilumab: 240) - Completed the study treatment period: 350 (Placebo-Dupilumab: 122, Dupilumab-Dupilumab: 228) - Completed the study period: 346 (Placebo-Dupilumab: 118, Dupilumab-Dupilumab: 228) A total of 365 participants were enrolled in this study (rolled over from the parent study EFC14153) and received open-label study treatment with dupilumab (at either 100 mg once every 2 weeks [q2w], 200 mg q2w, or 300 mg once every 4 weeks [q4w] based on the dosing criteria specified in the protocol). Among the 365 participants, 240 participants previously treated with dupilumab in the parent study (dupilumab-dupilumab category) continued with dupilumab treatment for up to an additional 52 weeks, and 125 participants previously on placebo in the parent study (placebo-dupilumab category) started dupilumab treatment for up to 52 weeks. For Japan sub-study: - Enrolled and exposed: 13 - Completed the study treatment period: 13 - Completed the study period: 8" A total of 13 participants were enrolled in this study and received open-label study treatment with dupilumab (at either 100 mg q2w, 200 mg q2w, or 300 mg q4w based on the dosing criteria specified in the protocol).

For main-study excluded Japan: Refer to "Outcome measures" For Japan sub-study: Overall, all (N=13) participants experienced at least 1 TEAE during the study. Four (30.8%) participants experienced at least 1 treatment emergent serious adverse event (SAE). No participants had a TEAE that led to death.

For main-study excluded Japan: Primary endpoint: Overall, 232 (63.6%) participants (85 [68.0%] in the placebo-dupilumab category and 147 [61.3%] in the dupilumab-dupilumab category) experienced at least 1 TEAE during the study. No participants had a TEAE leading to death. The incidence of treatment emergent SAEs was low, reported in 7 (1.9%) participants overall. Secondary endpoints: All efficacy endpoints in this open-label extension study were secondary endpoints. In the full analysis set of the safety population, participants treated with dupilumab for up to an additional year after the parent study demonstrated a low rate of severe asthma exacerbations with an unadjusted annualized severe exacerbation event rate of 0.118 in all exposed participants. A low rate of severe exacerbations was observed regardless of the treatment arm in the parent study (dupilumab-dupilumab or placebo-dupilumab). In the full analysis set, there was a mean improvement of +10.01% in pre-bronchodilator (BD) percent predicted FEV1 from baseline in the parent study at Week 2, which was sustained for the entire 52-week treatment period in the dupilumab-dupilumab category participants. Rapid onset in lung function improvement was observed for dupilumab treated participants in the parent study and was replicated for the placebo-dupilumab participants in this study. The mean change from baseline in the placebo-dupilumab category was +3.64% at Week 0 and +8.06% at Week 2, and this improvement was sustained over 52 weeks. There was also sustained improvement across other measures of lung function including absolute FEV1, absolute and percent predicted FVC, and percent predicted FEF 25-75%, which continued to improve over the duration of the study. For Japan sub-study: Dupilumab led to sustained improvement in lung function compared to baseline. Overall, there was a mean improvement of +7.08% in pre-BD percent predicted FEV1 from baseline at Week 12. Improvement in pre-BD percent predicted FEV1 was rapid with an onset of an improvement detected as early as Week 2 and then sustained over 52 weeks." There was also sustained improvement across other measures of lung function including absolute FEV1, FVC, and FEF 25-75%, and all of which showed continued improvement over time up to Week 52. The unadjusted annualized rate of severe asthma exacerbation events during the 52-week treatment period was 0.462.

For main-study excluded Japan: A total of 365 participants were enrolled (Placebo-Dupilumab: 125, Dupilumab-Dupilumab: 240). The results from this study support the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of dupilumab in a moderate to severe pediatric asthma population. For Japan sub-study: A total of 13 participants were enrolled. The results from this study support the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of dupilumab in a Japanese pediatric population with uncontrolled moderate to severe asthma.

treatment purpose

For main-study excluded Japan:
- Pediatric patients with asthma who completed the treatment in a dupilumab asthma trial (EFC14153).
- Signed written informed consent/assent.

Patients who are not able to complete their treatment in Study EFC14153 due to the COVID-19 pandemic will be allowed to enroll into Study LTS14424. Patients who enroll in LTS14424 after completing the EFC14153 End-of-study (EOS) visit should have eligibility for LTS14424 reevaluated including background medication check and laboratory assessments (including CBC with differential and basic chemistry) within 1 month prior to LTS14424 Visit 1.

For Japan sub-study:
- Signed written inform consent/assent
- Children 6 to <12 years of age, with a physician diagnosis of persistent asthma for >=12 months prior to screening
- Blood eosinophil count >=150 cells/microL or fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) >=20 parts per billion (ppb) at screening visit (Visit 0).
