About this trial
The goal of this observational study is to learn more about the effectiveness of benralizumab (Fasenra, 30 mg every 8 weeks) in maintaining asthma control in people with severe eosinophilic asthma.
Participants will have electronic medication monitors fitted to their usual maintenance inhaler, as well as a study-provided anti-inflammatory rescue inhaler, albuterol-budesonide (AirSupra). These monitors will track when each inhaler is used. Participants will also upload time-stamped photos of their benralizumab administration to their electronic medical records.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Capable of giving signed informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the ICF.
At least 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent at Visit 1.
Documented asthma diagnosis ≥12 months prior to Visit 1. This may be documented by physician-diagnosis or by documented pharmacy records.
Treated with a daily ICS-containing maintenance inhaler for asthma at a stable dose for ≥3 months prior to Visit 1. This inhaler may contain ICS alone, or in combination with a LABA or LABA-LAMA. The prescribed inhaler must be compatible with a study-provided EMM (see Appendix A).
Disqualifiers
Current smoker (including tobacco, vaping, and marijuana). Former smokers must have stopped ≥6 months prior to Visit 1.
Has a known, preexisting, clinically significant cardiac, endocrine, autoimmune, metabolic, neurological, renal, gastrointestinal, hepatic, hematological, or any other system abnormalities that are uncontrolled with standard treatment, which, in the investigator's opinion, would compromise the participant's safety, interfere with the interpretation of the study results or otherwise preclude participation or protocol adherence.
History of use of any biologic therapy for asthma (other than benralizumab) within 5 half-lives or 5 months, whichever is longer, before Visit 1.
Use of systemic corticosteroids for at least 3 consecutive days (or a single depo-injectable dose of corticosteroids)
