Severe Asthma Highlights From AAAAI 2021

Key studies on severe asthma from the 2021 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) meeting include data on newer biologic treatments.

 

Dr Mario Castro, of the University of Kansas School of Medicine in Kansas City, discusses results from the pivotal NAVIGATOR trial. This 1-year study demonstrated that tezepelumab, a monoclonal antibody inhibitor of the activity of thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), can provide clinically meaningful exacerbation reductions inpatients with severe asthma.

 

Dr Castro also discusses the phase 3 PONENTE study of benralizumab, a biologic therapy that targets the IL-5 pathway to reduce eosinophilic inflammation. He reviews data showing that benralizumab can significantly reduce the use of oral corticosteroids in patients with asthma, and considers the PONENTE trial results in light of data from the prior ZONDA phase 3 clinical trial.
