In Adult Patients of Severe Asthma With Eosinophilic Phenotype in India Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Postmarketing, Phase 4, Multicentre, Prospective, Single-arm Study to Assess the Safety of Fasenra® (Benralizumab) in Adult Patients of Severe Asthma With Eosinophilic Phenotype in India.
Benralizumab is a humanised, afucosylated, monoclonal antibody that binds specifically to the human interlukin-5 (IL-5) receptor alpha subunit (IL-5Rα) of target cells such as eosinophils and basophils (Takatsu et al, 1994; Toba et al, 1999; Pelaia et al, 2020). Benralizumab was generally well tolerated by patients in clinical trials, with no apparent safety concerns. This study shall be conducted at 10 centers across India. The primary outcome measures will be - Percentage of AEs a, SAEs, and TEAEs - Nature, incidence, and severity of AEs including unexpected adverse drug reactions - Percentage of patients with AEs that lead to study treatment discontinuations.
Fasenra (benralizumab) has been recently approved in India with the condition to conduct a Phase 4 postmarketing study in the Indian population, as previous studies did not include patients from India. This prospective postmarketing safety study is planned to meet the regulatory mandate and assess the safety of benralizumab treatment in adult patients of severe asthma with eosinophilic phenotype over a period of 24 weeks. This interventional study will provide insights into the potential risks of eosinophil-lowering therapies when used in routine clinical care in India. The study will also evaluate the effectiveness of benralizumab in reducing asthma exacerbations. This is a prospective, single-arm, multicentre, interventional, Phase 4 study investigating the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of Fasenra (benralizumab) in adult patients of severe asthma with eosinophilic phenotype over a period of 24 weeks. ;
