Severe itch is a common symptom of many genetic skin disorders and leads to a negative impact on patient quality of life. The investigators hypothesize that: a) intervention with dupilumab will improve itch in patients with pruritic genetic inflammatory skin disorders, even those not recognized to be Th2-driven; and b) the administration of dupilumab will be well-tolerated, regardless of underlying genetic skin disorder. The total clinical study duration will be 26 months (104 Weeks). The treatment period will include a 16-week open-label phase and a 20-month long-term extension phase for those who qualify and wish to continue.

RECRUITINGChange in Itch
The Primary Objective of this study is to determine if dupilumab changes itch across a range of pruritic genetic disorders of the skin. At least 50% of patients achieving reduction by at least 2 points in Worst Itch NRS (minimal meaningful reduction in Worst Itch is 1-2 points) We will compare the average Worst Itch NRS during an 8-week observational period (not a static single point) with the average Worst Itch NRS during the dupilumab treatment period at Weeks 9-16 on dupilumab (by which time itch is maximally suppressed by dupilumab in atopic dermatitis trials). This will allow for the possibility of fluctuation in itch (which we also hope to capture in the Part A observation period).
