About this study
The objective of this study is to assess the metabolic effect of systemic inhibition of IL-4 signaling on insulin sensitivity in patients with atopic dermatitis by comparing in vivo evaluations of insulin sensitivity in subjects on dupilumab vs. subjects matched for similar adiposity, with atopic dermatitis, but without dupilumab therapy.
