Surya Bhatt, MD, MSPH, of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, discussed the challenges of diagnosing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with type 2 inflammation, as well as the promising efficacy of dupilumab in treating this condition.
The FDA moved the target date for their decision on the dupilumab application by 3 months, citing a need for more efficacy data from its pivotal phase 3 trials.
