What Is Dupixent?

Dupixent, also known by its generic name dupilumab, is a biologic drug that hit the market in 2017. Biologic drugs are types of medication made from living organisms. Unlike traditional drugs that work on the whole body, biologics are designed to target specific parts of the immune system. 

Dupixent works by blocking two proteins, IL-4 and IL-13, that are involved in the inflammation that causes the symptoms of: 

  • Moderate-to-severe eczema (atopic dermatitis)
  • Asthma
  • Chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps
  • Eosinophilic esophagitis

While many people experience significant relief from their symptoms, the drug is not without side effects. The manufacturers of Dupixent, Sanofi and Regeneron, did warn patients of effects, such as: 

  • Injection site reactions
  • Eye problems (such as conjunctivitis)
  • Oral herpes

However, what patients and doctors were not warned about was the potential for a serious, life-threatening risk of the development or worsening of T-cell lymphoma.

Why Are People Filing a Dupixent Lawsuit?

When a pharmaceutical company fails to warn the public about a dangerous side effect, it can be held legally responsible for the harm it causes. Studies published in 2024 and 2025 show that people taking Dupixent may face a 300% higher risk of developing cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), a rare but aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Despite this alarming risk, the drug’s manufacturers, Sanofi and Regeneron, did not warn doctors or patients. This failure to disclose a potentially life-threatening side effect has left many families blindsided by a devastating cancer diagnosis.

The lawsuits against Sanofi and Regeneron are based on several serious claims:

  • Sanofi and Regeneron marketed Dupixent without properly warning patients or healthcare providers about the risk of developing cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
  • CTCL often presents with symptoms that resemble eczema, the very condition Dupixent is prescribed to treat. Without proper warnings, patients and doctors were unable to distinguish between typical eczema flares and signs of something much more serious, delaying diagnosis and treatment.
  • Lawsuits claim the manufacturers either knew, or should have known, about the connection between Dupixent and T-cell lymphoma during clinical trials or after the drug entered the market.

When early signs of T-cell lymphoma are mistaken for eczema, precious time is lost. What could have been caught and treated earlier may instead progress into something far more serious. For many patients, the realization comes too late.

Research Behind Dupixent and Cancer Claims

Several well-respected studies published in 2024 and 2025 have found a significantly increased risk of T-cell lymphoma in patients treated with Dupixent, particularly those with eczema and asthma.

Here’s what the research shows:

Study April 2024

This study looked at whether people with eczema who were treated with Dupixent had a higher risk of developing CTCL than those who didn’t take the drug.

  • In the first analysis, Dupixent users were over 4 times more likely to develop CTCL.
  • Even after accounting for factors like sex, race, and other medications, the risk remained more than double.
  • The researchers concluded that Dupixent may significantly raise the risk of this rare cancer in certain patients.

Study August 2024

A second study using TriNetX health data further supported these findings.

  • Patients with eczema who were treated with Dupixent had a 350% higher risk of developing CTCL compared to matched patients who did not take the drug.
  • This study excluded patients with other inflammatory conditions or those using other biologics that might have skewed the results, strengthening the link between Dupixent and CTCL.

Study June 2025

In this more recent study, researchers focused on asthma patients, not eczema, and still found disturbing results.

  • Compared to patients using traditional asthma therapies (ICS/LABA), those treated with Dupixent had a 4.5 times greater risk of developing CTCL.
  • Dupixent was also associated with an overall higher risk of all lymphomas, not just CTCL.
  • In patients who had been on Dupixent for at least 16 weeks, the risk skyrocketed, especially for a broader group of blood cancers known as mature T and NK cell lymphomas, which showed a 14-fold increase in risk.

Dupixent works by changing how your immune system responds. While that can reduce inflammation and help manage chronic conditions, it may also affect how the body detects and controls abnormal or cancerous cells.

In short, some researchers believe Dupixent could allow certain lymphomas, like CTCL, to develop faster, or stay hidden longer, especially in patients already at risk.

While past results don’t guarantee future outcomes, they reflect that having a lawyer on your side can help you feel more confident in taking on a lawsuit and may improve your chances of recovering meaningful compensation. For example, in a nationwide Martindale-Nolo study, over 90% of people who hired a personal injury lawyer received compensation, compared to just 51% of those who handled their claims on their own.

At Freese & Goss, we’re not new to these kinds of battles over defective drugs and medical devices. Our firm helped secure a $33.6 million verdict in a case involving a defective IVC filter and a $3 million verdict in a lawsuit over the failure to warn about birth defect risks linked to the drug Topamax.

What Symptoms Should I Watch for If I or a Loved One Is Using Dupixent?

If skin symptoms are not getting better with Dupixent, or if the rash starts to look different, becomes more widespread, or gets worse over time, that may be a reason for concern. Some patients have reported persistent itching, the appearance of new lumps or patches, swollen lymph nodes, or unexplained weight loss.

These signs can sometimes be confused with eczema flares, which is why it is important to pay close attention to changes. If symptoms are not improving, ask your doctor about further testing. A skin biopsy or specialist referral may help rule out or confirm something more serious, like cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
