This is parallel, Phase 4 study which consists of a 24 week (0.5 years) randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, 2-arm treatment period followed by an open label segment of 104 weeks (2 years) for a total of 128 weeks (2.5 years) to evaluate the effect of dupilumab treatment on esophageal function, and remodeling in adults with eosinophilic esophagitis. Duration of study period (per participant) * Screening period: Up to 12 weeks before Week 0 * Randomized double-blind period: 24 weeks * Open label period: 104 weeks * Post Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) intervention follow-up period: up to 12 weeks or until the participants switch to commercialized dupilumab, whatever comes first. There will be ten (10) site visits, and five (5) direct-to-participant IMP delivery visits (except if prohibited by local regulatory authorities or if participant is not willing. In this case, IMP will be dispensed at the study site).
The duration per participant will be up to 152 weeks.

Change from baseline in esophageal distensibility plateau as measured by Functional Lumen Imaging Probe (EndoFLIP)
Distensibility plateau provides an assessment of esophageal function. An increase in distensibility plateau indicates an improvement in esophageal function and a decrease in distensibility plateau indicates a worsening of esophageal function.
Time frame: From baseline to Week 24
Percent change from baseline in esophageal distensibility plateau as measured by Functional Lumen Imaging Probe
Distensibility plateau provides an assessment of esophageal function. An increase in distensibility plateau indicates an improvement in esophageal function and a decrease in distensibility plateau indicates a worsening of esophageal function.
Time frame: From baseline up to Week 24
Absolute change from baseline in esophageal distensibility plateau as measured by Functional Lumen Imaging Probe
Distensibility plateau provides an assessment of esophageal function. An increase in distensibility plateau indicates an improvement in esophageal function and a decrease in distensibility plateau indicates a worsening of esophageal function.
Time frame: From baseline up to Week128
Percent change from baseline in esophageal distensibility plateau as measured by Functional Lumen Imaging Probe
Distensibility plateau provides an assessment of esophageal function. An increase in distensibility plateau indicates an improvement in esophageal function and a decrease in distensibility plateau indicates a worsening of esophageal function.
Time frame: From Baseline up to Week 128
Change from baseline in eosinophilic esophagitis-endoscopic reference score (EoE-EREFS)
EoE-EREFS, a scoring system for inflammatory and remodeling features of disease. The overall total score ranges from 0 to 18 with higher number indicating worse disease.
Time frame: From baseline up to Week 128
Change from baseline in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE-HSS) Grade
Severity (grade) and extent (stage) of esophageal abnormalities are scored using a 4-point scale (0 normal; 3 maximum change). Higher score indicates greater severity and extent of histological abnormalities.
Time frame: From Baseline up to Week 128
Change from baseline in EoE-HSS Stage
Severity (grade) and extent (stage) of esophageal abnormalities are scored using a 4-point scale (0 normal; 3 maximum change). Higher score indicates greater severity and extent of histological abnormalities.
Time frame: From Baseline up to Week 128
Proportion of participants who achieved peak Esophageal Intraepithelial Eosinophil Count of ≤6 eosinophils/high power field (Eos/HPF)
Esophageal intraepithelial eosinophil count obtained by esophageal endoscopy with biopsies (all 3 esophageal regions: proximal, mid, and distal).
Time frame: At Weeks 24, 76 and 128
Proportion of participants who achieved peak Esophageal Intraepithelial Eosinophil Count of ≤15 Eos/HPF
Esophageal intraepithelial eosinophil count obtained by esophageal endoscopy with biopsies (all 3 esophageal regions: proximal, mid, and distal).
Time frame: At Weeks 24, 76 and 128
Change from baseline in normalized enrichment score (NES) for EoE diagnostic panel (EDP) transcriptome signature
NES reflects the degree to which the activity level of a set of disease transcripts is overrepresented at the extremes (top or bottom) of the entire ranked list of transcripts within a sample and is normalized by accounting for the number of transcripts in the set. An NES of 0 indicates no change from baseline, a negative score reflects a reduction in the disease score (more like normal) and a positive score reflects worsening (more active disease).
Time frame: From baseline up to Week 128 (EOT)
Change from baseline in normalized enrichment score (NES) for type 2 inflammation transcriptome signature
NES reflects the degree to which the activity level of a set of disease transcripts is overrepresented at the extremes (top or bottom) of the entire ranked list of transcripts within a sample and is normalized by accounting for the number of transcripts in the set. An NES of 0 indicates no change from baseline, a negative score reflects a reduction in the disease score (more like normal) and a positive score reflects worsening (more active disease).
Time frame: From Baseline up to Week 128 (EOT)
Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), and serious adverse events (SAEs)
Time frame: From the first IMP administration up to end of post treatment follow up period (week139)
Incidence of adverse events of special interest (AESIs)
Time frame: From the first IMP administration up to end of post treatment follow up period (week139)
