Abstract

Defining super-response to biologic treatment is a major concern in severe asthma. Although many definitions have been proposed, there is still a gap between the clinical perception of the super-response and a standardized classification. The current definition of super-response mainly relies on several clinical features, while many aspects of severe asthma inflammation and lung function are still poorly considered. Furthermore, many criteria of severe asthma super-response overlap with those of the clinical remission, leaving room for possible misclassifications. In this context, identifying the correct trajectory linking these 2 aspects of type 2-high severe asthma could help clinicians to understand which factors can predict a greater response to biologic therapies. In this paper, we review various aspects of super-response assessment, proposing some new criteria for its definition as well as new perspectives on its relationship with severe asthma clinical remission.
