Dupixent Skin Cancer Attorneys
Dupixent and Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL)
What is Dupixent?
Dupixent (dupilumab) is a prescription medication that has been widely used since its FDA approval in 2017. Marketed as a breakthrough treatment, it is prescribed for:
- Moderate to severe eczema (atopic dermatitis)
- Asthma not well controlled by inhalers
- Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps
The drug works by blocking certain proteins in the immune system, reducing inflammation that contributes to these chronic conditions. For many patients, Dupixent has provided meaningful relief where other treatments failed.
However, safety concerns have recently surfaced. Reports suggest that some patients who used Dupixent developed a rare and serious skin cancer known as cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL).
Reported Risks & Side Effects
Like most medications, Dupixent carries known side effects such as:
- Eye irritation or conjunctivitis
- Injection site reactions
- Cold sores on the lips or mouth
But what makes the emerging risk of CTCL different is its severity. CTCL is a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that primarily affects the skin. Symptoms may include:
- Persistent red or scaly patches that resemble eczema or psoriasis
- Raised plaques or nodules on the skin
- Itching or discomfort that does not improve with standard treatments
Because CTCL often mimics other skin conditions, it may go undiagnosed until it has progressed. For patients already being treated for eczema with Dupixent, this overlap can delay proper diagnosis.
Ongoing investigations are raising questions about whether the manufacturer adequately warned patients and physicians about this potential risk.
Who May Be Affected
Ward Black Law is currently investigating claims for individuals who:
- Used Dupixent for at least one month
- Were diagnosed with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL)
- Did not have a prior diagnosis of Hodgkin lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, non-follicular lymphoma, or leukemia
If this describes you or a loved one, speaking with a Dupixent attorney can help you understand your options and whether you may be eligible to pursue a claim.
