Effects of Reslizumab on Asthma Outcomes in a Subgroup of Eosinophilic Asthma Patients with Self-Reported Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps.
2019
Background An estimated 7% of patients with asthma have chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), and more than 80% have at least some radiographic evidence of sinonasal inflammation. Aspirin sensitivity is strongly associated with elevated blood eosinophil levels and increased asthma severity. Intravenous (IV) reslizumab has been shown to improve asthma control in patients with nasal polyps. Objective These post hoc analyses of pooled data from 2 BREATH phase 3 clinical trials, studies 1 and 2 (NCT01287039 and NCT01285323), examined asthma-related outcomes in patients with comorbid, self-reported CRSwNP with and without aspirin sensitivity. Methods Patients aged 12-75 years with e…
Reslizumab as add-on therapy in patients with refractory asthma
2020
### Key messages #### What is the key question? #### What is the bottom line? #### Why read on? Asthma is a common disease, affecting an estimated 334 million people worldwide, with considerable impact on quality of life and high associated costs.1–3 Asthma severity is assessed retrospectively from the level of treatment required to control symptoms and exacerbations. Approximately 5%–10% of patients with asthma are believed to suffer from severe disease.4 Patients with severe asthma typically require ongoing maintenance therapy with high-dose inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)/long-acting beta-agonist (LABA).2 Furthermore, systemic corticosteroids (SCS) are often required for potentially life-th…
Clinically meaningful FEV1 response with reslizumab achieved early and sustained over 52 weeks
2017
Background: Reslizumab (RES) is a humanized anti-interleukin-5 monoclonal antibody that significantly reduces the risk of asthma exacerbations and improves asthma control, lung function, and quality of life in patients with uncontrolled eosinophilic asthma. The mean difference in FEV 1 in RES treated patients vs placebo (PBO) at 16 and 52 weeks has been shown to be statistically and clinically significant (Castro et al., Lancet Respir Med. 2015; 3:355–366), but individual responders have not been assessed. Aims/Objectives: To assess the proportion of RES-treated patients who achieved a ≥0.1L increase in FEV 1 from baseline and the duration of treatment before response occurs. Methods: This …
Reslizumab for uncontrolled eosinophilic asthma in patients who experienced a single exacerbation in the previous year: sub-analysis of two phase 3 t…
2017
Background: Reslizumab (RES), a humanized anti-interleukin-5 monoclonal antibody, has been demonstrated to significantly reduce the risk of clinical asthma exacerbation (CAE), and improve lung function, asthma symptoms and quality of life (QOL) in patients (pts) with inadequately controlled eosinophilic asthma (ICEA) and ≥1 CAE in the prior 12 mos despite standard of care therapy (Castro et al., Lancet Respir Med 2015; 3:355-366). Aims/Objectives: To assess the efficacy of RES in a subgroup of pts with ICEA who experienced only 1 CAE in the 12 mos prior to trial enrolment. Methods: This was a post-hoc analysis of the two duplicate 52-wk, placebo (PBO)-controlled phase 3 trials of RES (3 mg/…
Predicting Responders to Reslizumab after 16 Weeks of Treatment Using an Algorithm Derived from Clinical Studies of Patients with Severe Eosinophilic…
2018
Reslizumab is a humanized anti-IL-5 monoclonal antibody used as add-on maintenance treatment for patients with uncontrolled eosinophilic asthma.To predict response and nonresponse to intravenous reslizumab at 52 weeks with an algorithm we developed based on clinical indicators from pivotal clinical trials.Patients aged 18 years and older who met Global Initiative for Asthma 4 or 5 criteria and received intravenous reslizumab (n = 321) in two trials ( www.clinicaltrials.gov identifiers, NCT01287039 and NCT01285323) were selected as the data source. A mathematical model was constructed that was based on change from baseline to 16 weeks in Asthma Control Questionnaire and Asthma Quality of Lif…
