Benralizumab versus Mepolizumab for Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a vasculitis characterized by eosinophilic inflammation. Benralizumab, a monoclonal antibody against the interleukin-5α receptor expressed on eosinophils, may be an option for treating ...

Promising Effects of Benralizumab on Chronic Eosinophilic Pneumonia
We herein report a case of refractory chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP) complicated with uncontrolled bronchial asthma, in which remission was successfully induced with single dose of benralizumab, a monoclonal antibody against the alpha-chain of the interleukin-5 receptor.

Real-life effects of benralizumab on airway oscillometry in severe eosinophilic asthma [PDF]
Introduction Eosinophil depletion with benralizumab reduces exacerbations and improves disease control and FEV1 in patients with severe eosinophilic asthma. However, few studies have investigated the effect of biologics on small airways dysfunction (SAD)

Rapid onset of effect of benralizumab in a severe eosinophilic and allergic asthma patient with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis [PDF]
There is limited data on the use of benralizumab in patients with severe asthma, who have allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA). We report the case of a 65‐year‐old woman with combined severe eosinophilic and allergic asthma, who presented with ...

Development of Eosinophilic Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis Despite Anti–Interleukin‐5 Receptor Therapy: The First Case of Bilateral Central Retinal Artery Occlusion During Benralizumab Treatment [PDF]
Here, we describe a rare presentation of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) under benralizumab therapy manifesting as bilateral central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO). The patient, a 61‐year‐old man with chronic eosinophilic rhinosinusitis and severe asthma, experienced sudden bilateral visual loss and transient amaurosis ...

Requalification of patients with severe asthma for biological therapy-Practical 'ReQuaBi' rate decision scheme based on the analytical model. [PDF]
Abstract Background Patients with severe asthma experience decreased quality of life due to fixed airway obstruction, hospitalisations and potential fatalities. However, to date, the requalification of severe asthma patients eligible for biological therapy in daily clinical practice remains unstudied.
