Predictive Signature of Benralizumab Response
Predictive Signature of Benralizumab Response
The objective of the study is to establish the predictive value of early blood gene expression signature of Benralizumab response associated with a significant reduction of the number of exacerbations in treated severe asthmatic patients.
This trial is a French, multicenter and no-randomized trial. Patients enrolled will be clinically followed for 16 months (the treatment period: 12 months and 1 month follow-up; 6 clinical visit on site and in phone call at 13 months)
Inclusion Criteria:
Patients between 18 and 75 years old.
Patients diagnosed with severe asthma (Chung and al, Eur Respir J 2014), i.e.:
Documented historical reversibility of FEV1 ≥12% and FEV1 gain ≥ 200 milliliter
ACQ-7 score ≥ 1,5 at M0.
≥ 3 exacerbations in the 12 months prior to screening visit M-1.
Eosinophil blood count ≥ 0,3 G/L at inclusion visit or in the 12 months prior to the inclusion visit. If eosinophil blood count is ≥ 0,15 G/L and < 0,3 G/L, an eosinophilic phenotype defined by at least 1 of the following criteria will be required:
Patients who provide written informed consent prior to participation in the study
