Abstract

Many patients with asthma, including asthma with an allergic phenotype, also have type 2 (T2) inflammation. Dupilumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody, blocks the shared receptor component for IL-4/13, key and central drivers of T2 inflammation in multiple diseases. In QUEST (NCT02414854), add-on dupilumab 200 or 300mg q2w vs placebo significantly reduced severe exacerbations, improved pre-bronchodilator FEV1, and was well tolerated in patients with uncontrolled, moderate-to-severe asthma, with greater effects in patients with elevated T2 biomarkers at baseline (blood eosinophils ≥150cells/μL or FeNO ≥25ppb).
