Severe Asthma: Understanding

Severe Asthma: Overview

Asthma is a chronic condition of the lungs that involves inflammation and hyperactivity of the airways. With many symptoms and presentations, asthma can be triggered by breathing allergens from the environment such as pollen, dust, animal dander, mold, or other irritants. Severe asthma is defined as someone diagnosed with asthma requiring medium or high-dose inhaled corticosteroids combined with other longer-acting medications. Asthma is also considered severe when it is uncontrolled despite proper use of these medications. Individuals who suffer from severe uncontrolled asthma experience symptoms throughout most days and every night. These patients often require the frequent use of inhaled medications or even daily oral steroids to provide rescue from their asthma symptoms. Severe asthma may impact daily activities, resulting in missing work or school, and can directly affect a patient’s quality of life. Severe asthma presents with persistent and debilitating symptoms, including recurrent and severe episodes of wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing, often worsening at night or in the early morning hours. Patients may experience frequent exacerbations despite optimal management, leading to significant limitations in daily activities and a higher risk of hospitalizations. Additionally, severe asthma can manifest as symptoms that are poorly controlled with standard medications.

Severe asthma is characterized by persistent airflow obstruction, chronic airway inflammation, and airway remodeling. The pathophysiology involves increased activation and infiltration of inflammatory cells like eosinophils and mast cells in the airways. This leads to airway hyper responsiveness, mucus hypersecretion, and structural changes like airway smooth muscle hypertrophy and sub epithelial fibrosis. These changes can worsen over time and result in irreversible airflow limitation if not properly managed with appropriate medications like inhaled corticosteroids and bronchodilators.

Patients with severe asthma often demonstrate significant reduction of their lung function when tested by spirometry or a pulmonary function test (PFT). The best option when choosing a physician to manage severe asthma is to contact an allergy / immunology specialist. An allergist / immunologist has the relevant knowledge, training, and skills necessary to properly diagnose and manage asthma. If severe asthma is suspected, differential diagnoses that may mimic asthma should first be ruled out. This requires a detailed clinical history. Computed tomography (CT) of the chest may also be useful, as it can rule out many differential diagnoses (including malformations, dysplasias, tumors, bronchiolitis, bronchiectasis, pulmonary embolism, alveolitis, and various interstitial lung diseases). Allergy testing (skin prick test and/or measurement of allergen-specific IgE antibodies) are part of standard assessment.

Severe Asthma Emerging Drugs

GSK3511294: GlaxoSmithKline

GSK 3511294, also known as depemokimab, is a long acting, interleukin-5 (IL-5) receptor antagonistic monoclonal antibody, being developed by GlaxoSmithKline, for the treatment of asthma. GSK3511294 is a humanized anti-interleukin (IL)-5 monoclonal antibody (mAb) engineered for extended half-life and improved IL-5 affinity versus other anti-IL-5 mAbs. Currently the drug is in Phase III stage of Clinical trial evaluation for the treatment of severe asthma.

BSI-045B: Biosion

BSI-045B is a high-affinity, humanized monoclonal antibody, targeting thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), a cytokine that is implicated in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis, asthma and other eosinophilic and Th2 immune-related diseases. Biosion's collaboration partner - CTTQ, a China-based pharmaceutical company with rights to BSI-045B (TQC2731) for China development and commercialization, is currently conducting a Phase II clinical trial of BSI-045B in China for the treatment of severe uncontrolled asthma.

Mepolizumab: Bio-Thera Solutions

Mepolizumab is an interleukin-5 (IL-5) antagonist monoclonal antibody administered subcutaneously via syringe or autoinjector. It is currently indicated for several conditions: as an add-on maintenance treatment for adult and pediatric patients aged six years and older with severe asthma characterized by an eosinophilic phenotype; as an add-on maintenance treatment for adult patients aged 18 years and older with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps; for the treatment of adult patients with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis; and for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older with hypereosinophilic syndrome of at least six months' duration without an identifiable non-hematologic secondary cause. Currently the drug is in Phase I stage of its clinical trial for the treatment of severe asthma.
