Conditions:
Severe Prednisone Dependent Eosinophilic Asthma
Eligibility:
All Genders
18+ years
Phase:
PHASE3
Brief Summary
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...
Detailed Description
Benralizumab thus targets 'eosinophil biology', by inhibiting the interleukin (IL-5) receptor signalling, and inducing apoptosis in cells with an IL-5receptor. Hence, for patients who remain 'uncontro...
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Informed consent Prior to the beginning of the study, patients must be willing and fully capable to provide written informed consent.
- Diagnosed prednisone-dependent eosinophilic asthma
- Previous treatment with 100 mg mepolizumab administered subcutaneously Q4W or reslizumab 3 mg/kg IV Q4W for at least 6 months
- Sputum eosinophils \>3%
- ACQ ≥1.5
- Age \>18
- Male or eligible female subjects:
- To be eligible for entry into the study, females of childbearing potential (premenopausal women who are not permanently sterilized by means of hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or bilateral salpingectomy) must commit to consistent and correct use of a highly effective method of birth control (true sexual abstinence, a vasectomized sexual partner, Implanon, female tubal occlusion, Intrauterine device (IUD), Depo provera injections, oral contraceptive pills or Nuvaring) for the duration of the trial and for 3 months after the last study drug administration.

Exclusion
- Currently receiving another monoclonal antibody
- Intolerance, hypersensitivity, insensitivity or neutralizing antibody to Mepolizumab and/or Reslizumab
- Malignancy within the last 5 years
- Any co-morbidity that the investigator believes is a contraindication. This includes but is not limited to any respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, hematological, neurological, immunological, musculoskeletal, renal, infectious, neoplastic or inflammatory condition that may place the safety of the subject at risk during the duration of the study, influence the results of the study or their interpretation, or prevent the patient from completing the entire duration of the study.
