Case overview

Federal Dupixent lymphoma lawsuits are consolidated in MDL No. 3180 before Judge Zahid N. Quraishi in the District of New Jersey, centralized June 4, 2026. Plaintiffs allege Sanofi and Regeneron failed to warn that cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) can mimic eczema and that Dupixent may mask cancer symptoms, delaying diagnosis. Twenty-six cases were pending as of July 1, 2026; no court has ruled on the merits and no settlement exists.

Causation Theory

Plaintiffs' causation theory centers on two mechanisms: CTCL's early presentation mimics atopic dermatitis, leading to misdiagnosis and inappropriate Dupixent treatment; and dupilumab may temporarily improve visible skin symptoms of undiagnosed CTCL, masking disease progression. Published case series describe initial improvement followed by lymphoma progression. The FDA identified CTCL as a potential safety signal in its October–December 2024 quarterly review and stated it is evaluating the need for regulatory action. However, a January 2026 large-scale retrospective cohort study in Frontiers in Medicine found no increased lymphoma risk with dupilumab and observed significantly reduced risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Sézary disease compared to other systemic treatments.

Case Management Orders

Litigation status

MDL No. 3180 centralized June 4, 2026 in D.N.J. before Judge Zahid N. Quraishi. The litigation remains in early pretrial posture with coordinated discovery and leadership appointments pending; no bellwether schedule has been set.

MDL Track

MDL 3180

Dupixent (dupilumab) cutaneous T-cell lymphoma

State Court Activity

No significant state court activity reported

Geographic exposure

Dupixent approved March 2017 with nine indications. No lymphoma or malignancy warning on FDA label as of August 2026. FDA evaluating potential safety events for CTCL; published studies report statistical association but authors note causation unestablished. Comprehensive review identified 124 patients with lymphoproliferative disorders post-dupilumab, median 5 months to biopsy, 39.05% advanced stage. No national prescription volume or total exposed population data available in sources.

  • District of New Jersey

    MDL 3180 centralized federal Dupixent CTCL cases before Judge Zahid N. Quraishi on June 4, 2026. JPML transferred 15 cases from 12 federal districts at formation. Approximately 28 cases on file as of mid-August 2026. No merits rulings, no settlement.

  • Georgia

    Case filings heavily concentrated here, per source describing 'heavily concentrated in Georgia' as driver for MDL consolidation. One of originating jurisdictions among 12 federal districts at MDL 3180 formation.

  • Tennessee

    First Dupixent wrongful death lawsuit filed in Middle District of Tennessee (Oct. 2025), predating MDL formation. One-year statute of limitations: Tenn. Code Ann. § 28-3-104. Early litigation incubator for CTCL/PTCL claims.

  • Alabama

    Originating jurisdiction among cases JPML transferred into MDL 3180 at formation. Per source, Alabama filings included in initial 15-case transfer.

  • New York

    Regeneron Pharmaceuticals facility in Rensselaer, NY — active FDA inspection history with documented issues (last FDA action March 22, 2024). U.S. ingredient manufacturing site for dupilumab.

  • Ireland

    Two facilities with Dupixent supply chain: Genzyme Ireland Limited (Waterford, last FDA action Jan. 17, 2025) and Regeneron Ireland DAC (Limerick, last FDA action March 14, 2023). Both have documented FDA inspection issues.

  • Germany

    Sanofi-aventis Deutschland GmbH (Frankfurt am Main) — Dupixent manufacturing facility with documented FDA inspection issues (last action Jan. 16, 2025).

  • France

    Sanofi Winthrop Industrie (Le Trait) — Dupixent manufacturing facility with documented FDA inspection issues (last action April 25, 2023).

    MDL Grows to 28 Pending Cases

    JPML pending-docket report shows MDL No. 3180 has expanded to 28 actions, nearly doubling from original 15 transferred cases. Litigation remains in early pretrial and coordinated discovery stage; no bellwether trials scheduled.

Statute of limitations

No MDL established as of March 2026. Individual cases filed in federal courts including M.D. Tenn. (Richardson, response deadline Jan. 7, 2026 per Magistrate Judge Alistair Newbern). Primary accrual theories: (1) date of CTCL diagnosis; (2) date of discovery of Dupixent-CTCL link. FDA placed Dupixent on potential serious risks list March 2025; label still lacks CTCL warning per November 2025 reports. Discovery rule critical in most jurisdictions given latency period (August 2024 JAAD study showed 4.1x increased risk, median diagnosis >1 year post-initiation). Federal preemption defenses likely; no federal recall. Screen for: minimum 1 month Dupixent use; CTCL, mycosis fungoides, or Sézary syndrome diagnosis; no prior lymphoma/leukemia.

Delaware

2 years from date of injury or diagnosis

Rule: Product liability and personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the date of injury or diagnosis per Morris James LLP guidance

Discovery: Accrual may begin when symptoms first appeared, when diagnosis was made, or when connection to Dupixent was discovered

Exceptions may apply; early consultation advised given multiple potential accrual triggers

Tennessee

1 year from accrual (typical wrongful death)

Rule: Wrongful death claim filed October 2025 in M.D. Tenn. (Richardson v. Regeneron/Sanofi) with response deadline January 7, 2026 per Magistrate Judge Alistair Newbern order

Discovery: Accrual tied to death date or discovery of causation; case management conference held December 8, 2025

Federal court handling early bellwether; no MDL yet established

Illinois

2 years from accrual (typical personal injury)

Rule: Cancer lawsuit filed December 2025 per Sokolove Law update; standard Illinois product liability SOL applies

Discovery: Discovery rule likely available given CTCL latency period (studies show median diagnosis >1 year post-initiation)

Filed as individual action; no consolidation yet

California

2 years from discovery of injury

Rule: Discovery rule standard; accrual when plaintiff knew or should have known of injury and its cause

Discovery: Critical given August 2024 JAAD study publication and March 2025 FDA serious risks list placement as potential notice triggers

No state revival statute applicable; federal preemption defenses expected

New York

3 years from accrual

Rule: CPLR 214(2) product liability; 3 years from date of injury or discovery

Discovery: Discovery rule applies; continuous treatment doctrine may toll if misdiagnosis ongoing

Large plaintiff pool expected given Dupixent prescribing volume; screen for eczema patients with delayed CTCL diagnosis

Texas

2 years from accrual

Rule: Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003; product liability claims subject to 2-year SOL

Discovery: Discovery rule applies; fraudulent concealment possible given lack of CTCL warning on label

No pending revival legislation; federal court filings likely given manufacturer diversity

Florida

4 years from accrual (2 years wrongful death)

Rule: Fla. Stat. § 95.11(3)(a) product liability; 4 years for personal injury, 2 years for wrongful death

Discovery: Discovery rule applies; statute begins when injury discovered or should have been discovered with due diligence

Longer SOL window but early filing strategic given potential MDL formation
