Abstract

In this review, we outline the pathophysiology of severe asthma and discuss the role of anti-interleukin (IL)-5 inhibitors for the treatment of asthma. Anti-IL-5 treatments have shown efficacy in reducing the rate of severe asthma attacks in eosinophilic asthma. We review the history of the development of these agents, lessons learnt about severe asthma along the way and key clinical trials supporting efficacy of the three anti-IL-5 treatments that are clinically available or undergoing clinical trials in asthma.
