Real-World Effectiveness of Mepolizumab in Severe Asthma: Results from the Multi-country, Self-controlled Nucala Effectiveness Study (NEST)
Introduction
The Nucala Effectiveness Study (NEST) assessed the effectiveness of mepolizumab in patients with severe asthma (SA) in countries previously underrepresented in real-world studies.
Methods
A multi-country, bi-directional, self-controlled, observational cohort study conducted in Colombia, Chile, India, Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, and Qatar. Historical and/or prospective data from patients with SA were assessed 12 months pre- and post-mepolizumab initiation. Primary endpoint: incident rate ratio (IRR) of clinically significant exacerbations (CSEs). Key secondary endpoints: healthcare resource utilisation (HCRU), oral corticosteroid (OCS) use, lung function and symptom control (Asthma Control Test [ACT] scores).
Results
Overall, 525 patients with SA burden pre-initiation (geometric mean blood eosinophil count [BEC] 490.7 cells/µl; 31.4% prior biologic use; 37.3% obese) received at least one dose of mepolizumab 100 mg subcutaneously. Post-initiation, a significant reduction in CSEs was observed (76% [p < 0.001]; IRR [95% confidence interval] 0.24 [0.19–0.30]); 72.0% of patients had no CSEs. Mepolizumab treatment led to a reduction in OCS use (52.8% pre-initiation vs. 16.6% post-initiation) and a mean (standard deviation [SD]) change in OCS dose of − 18.1 (20.7) mg post-initiation; 36.1% of patients became OCS-free. Fewer patients were hospitalised post-initiation (22.5% pre-initiation vs. 6.9% post-initiation). Improvements in mean (SD) forced expiratory volume in 1 s (62.8 [20.2]% pre-initiation vs. 73.0 [22.7]% post-initiation) and ACT scores (15.0% pre-initiation vs. 64.5% of patients post-initiation with well-controlled asthma) were observed. Proportion of patients with BEC ≥ 500 cells/µl decreased from 84.4% pre-initiation to 18.1% post-initiation.
Conclusion
Mepolizumab was effective in reducing the burden of SA by significantly reducing CSEs, reducing OCS use and HCRU, and improving lung function and asthma control, which could translate to improvements in health-related quality of life in patients with SA and high OCS dependency in the countries studied.

期刊介绍：
Advances in Therapy is an international, peer reviewed, rapid-publication (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance) journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of therapeutics and interventions (including devices) across all therapeutic areas. Studies relating to diagnostics and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Advances in Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research.
