Abstract
Background
Limited understanding exists regarding the progression trajectory of severe eosinophilic asthma (SEA) patients on type 2 biologics therapies.
Objective
We aim to explore distinct longitudinal phenotypes of these patients based on crucial asthma biomarkers.
Methods
We enrolled 101 adult patients with SEA. Of these, 51 were treated with anti-IL5/IL5Rα or anti-IL5/IL5RαR antibody, and 50 with anti-IL-4Rα antibody. Multi-trajectory analysis, an extension of univariate group-based trajectory modeling, was used to categorize patients based on their trajectories of forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), blood eosinophil counts (BEC), and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) levels at baseline, and after 1, 6, and 12 months of treatment. Associations between trajectory-based clusters and clinical parameters were examined.
Results
Among anti-IL5/IL5Rα antibody-treated patients, 2 clusters were identified. The cluster characterized by higher baseline BEC and lower FEV1 showed a better response, with improvements in FEV1 and reductions in BEC over time. Among anti-IL-4Rα antibody-treated, 3 clusters were identified. Clusters with moderate BEC and FeNO at baseline demonstrated better improvements in FEV1 and reductions in FeNO, despite increased BEC during follow-up. Conversely, individuals with extremely low FeNO and high BEC at baseline were more likely to experience poorer progression, demonstrating an increase in FeNO and a reduction in FEV1.
Conclusion
To optimally monitor treatment response in SEA patients on type 2 biologics, integrating longitudinal biomarker features is essential.
期刊介绍:
The official pubication of the World Allergy Organization, the World Allergy Organization Journal (WAOjournal) publishes original mechanistic, translational, and clinical research on the topics of allergy, asthma, anaphylaxis, and clincial immunology, as well as reviews, guidelines, and position papers that contribute to the improvement of patient care. WAOjournal publishes research on the growth of allergy prevalence within the scope of single countries, country comparisons, and practical global issues and regulations, or threats to the allergy specialty. The Journal invites the submissions of all authors interested in publishing on current global problems in allergy, asthma, anaphylaxis, and immunology. Of particular interest are the immunological consequences of climate change and the subsequent systematic transformations in food habits and their consequences for the allergy/immunology discipline.
