Filter by:The aim of this study is to determine and compare serum cytokine levels of six different severe asthma inflammatory phenotypes differentiated by their atopy, peripheral eosinophilia and/or chronic rhinosinusitis and/or nasal polyposis status.
In severe prednisone-dependent eosinophilic asthma, Benralizumab would suppress airway eosinophilia that is not suppressed by either Mepolizumab or Reslizumab and this would be associated with greater asthma control
This is a proof of concept study designed to assess the effects of a single intravenous dose of etokimab compared to placebo in adult participants with severe eosinophilic asthma. This study will also assess the safety and tolerability of etokimab in adult participants with severe eosinophilic asthma.
The primary objective of the study is to measure the effect of mepolizumab on declines in oral corticosteroid therapy (prednisolone or prednisone) in patients with severe eosinophilic asthma. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways that affects 5 to 10% of adults and children. Despite current treatments that are often effective, 10% of patients are not controlled by inhaled therapies. These severe asthma require regular use of systemic corticosteroids in 30 to 40% of cases. In this context, the use of glucocorticoids is associated with many more or less serious adverse effects, but still affecting the patient's quality of life. Several treatments have already been proven to save systemic steroids (theophylline, anti-leukotrienes, golimumab ...). On the other hand, none is currently recommended because of a risk / benefit ratio that is too high. Mepolizumab is a human monoclonal antibody that binds to and inactivates interleukin 5. It has recently been shown to be effective in reducing the daily dose of oral corticosteroids and in reducing exacerbations in these patients with severe eosinophilic asthma. It also reduces the number of eosinophils in the blood and sputum and improves the quality of life. Patients will receive a subcutaneous injection of 100mg mepolizumab every 4 weeks for one year, for a total of 12 injections. In France, this treatment was subject to a Temporary Authorization for Nominative Use in severe eosinophilic asthma and is reserved for hospital use. The injections will be done in HDJ Pneumology CHU Grenoble Alpes and patients will be followed monthly during injections and one month after the end of injections.
This is a multicenter, open-label (OL) extension study to obtain additional long-term safety data for subcutaneous (sc) administration of reslizumab treatment administered at a fixed dose of 110 mg in patients 12 years of age and older with severe eosinophilic asthma who completed the treatment period of a placebo-controlled Phase 3 trial of sc reslizumab. The study consists of a screening/baseline visit followed by a 36-week OL treatment period and a 15-week follow-up period.

Mepolizumab is an anti-interleukin-5 ( IL-5) monoclonal antibody that neutralizes IL-5 and reduces eosinophil counts in both sputum and blood. Omalizumab an anti-immunoglobulin E (IgE) monoclonal antibody (mAb) is effective in the treatment of moderate to severe allergic asthma. The aim of this study is to investigate whether subjects not optimally controlled on their current omalizumab treatment, who are eligible for therapy with mepolizumab can be effectively and safely switched to treatment with mepolizumab to improve asthma control. The study will provide data on the efficacy, safety, immunogenicity, and tolerability of mepolizumab when switched directly from omalizumab without any wash-out. The learnings from this study may help guide physicians when substituting one biologic with another for the treatment of patients with severe eosinophilic asthma. The study will be a multi-centre, open-label single arm trial. Patients with severe eosinophilic asthma who are receiving omalizumab, but are not optimally controlled will be eligible to participate. Subjects will remain on their current maintenance therapy including omalizumab throughout the run-in period for a minimum of one week and up to 4 weeks. At Visit 2 (week 0) subjects will discontinue their omalizumab treatment and be switched to mepolizumab 100 mg subcutaneous (SC) every 4 weeks for 28 weeks. The treatment period is 32 weeks, including an Exit Visit/Early Withdrawal Visit, 4 weeks following the subject's last dose of mepolizumab.
The purpose of the MEMORY trial is to compare the effects of mepolizumab with Placebo on airway physiology in patients with eosinophilic asthma
The aim is to study the effect of OC000459 on eosinophilic airway inflammation and asthma control in subjects with severe, refractory eosinophilic asthma.
The steroid sparing effect of anti interleukin (IL-5) monoclonal antibody has been proven, but the effectiveness of subcutaneous (SC) compared to intravenous (IV) administration of these drugs to suppress airway eosinophilia is still under debate. As part of a previous study, 100mg of mepolizumab were administered subcutaneously to a group of subjects with prednisone-dependent eosinophilic asthma. Despite this intervention, 50% of the subjects (15 patients participated in this study) had persistently elevated sputum eosinophil counts. The same 15 patients will be invited to participate in the current study, and if they provide their informed consent, will receive 2 monthly doses of placebo, followed by 4 monthly doses of IV reslizumab. The primary outcomes are blood and sputum eosinophils, and the secondary outcomes include sputum and blood Innate lymphoid cell-2 (ILC2) cells, cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4+) cells, cluster of differentiation-8 (CD8+) cells, cluster of differentiation-34 (CD34+), Eosinophil-Basophil cluster cells (Eo/B progenitor cells), forced expired volume in 1 second (FEV1), asthma control questionnaire (ACQ) and number of eosinophilic exacerbations. Measurements of the outcomes will be done before placebo, after placebo and after IV reslizumab. This study design will determine whether IV reslizumab is effective in suppressing airway eosinophilia in prednisone-dependent patients.
