General information about the trial
|
|||
Main objective of the trial |
To assess the effect of benralizumab on airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR), after 3 months of treatment, measured by mannitol challenge as the provocative dose causing a 10% fall in forced expratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) (PD10 Mannitol), from post-run-in baseline in severe eosinophilic asthma.
|
||
Protection of trial subjects |
The provocative dose of mannitol required to drop a subject's FEV1 by 10% (PD10) was chosen as this was a cohort of severe asthma patients and therefore we opted for a safer cut point than other studies that have traditionally used PD15. We monitored patients 1 on 1 for the entirety of the mannitol challenges to minimise distress.
|
||
Background therapy |
Subjects were maintained on their usual inhaler and oral therapy for asthma control to ensure safety. This meant that benralizumab was used as an additional medication on top of their usual standard of care. | ||
Evidence for comparator |
There was no comparison in this trial as large Phase III trials have shown good efficacy for benralizumab in the treatment of severe eosinophilic asthma. Our study was a single arm open label trial as we felt it was unethical to give patients placebo when there is established evidence that benralizumab improves clinical outcomes. | ||

Recruitment
|
|||||||
Recruitment details |
21 severe eosinophilic asthma patients were recruited between 16/12/20 and 15/12/21 from Dundee, Scotland, UK. | ||||||
Pre-assignment
|
|||||||
Screening details |
Key inclusion criteria included patients aged 18 - 75 with severe GINA defined asthma taking a medium to high dose of ICS/LABA. Patients also had to have uncontrolled asthma (ACQ≥1.5), mannitol PD10 ≤635mg at visit 1 and eosinophilic asthma. There was a 4 week run-in period between screen and visit 1. In total 34 patients were screened. | ||||||

Notes [1] - The number of subjects starting the period is not consistent with the number completing the preceding period. It is expected the number of subjects starting the subsequent period will be the same as the number completing the preceding period. Justification: Our study was a single arm open label study. However the system does not allow submission of the form unless there are two arms so we have created one with zero values to facilitate form submission. |
