Population: Number of Units analyzed per row represents number of auto-injector used at each time point.

Number (%) of AI used to administer benralizumab at home or in the clinic and have been reported as malfunctioning (Product Complaints). The percentage is calculated based on AI dispensed for patients who were treated for the specific time point. This excludes AIs dispensed but never used for the treatment or the device not returned for evaluation.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 0 (baseline) and weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20

Population: Full analysis set - all patients who were administered for at least one dose of Benralizumab.

The effect of benralizumab on asthma control metrics in terms of change from baseline in mean Asthma Control Questionnaire-6 (ACQ-6) score. ACQ-6 score is defined as the average of the first 6 items of the ACQ questionnaire on symptoms, activity limitations, and rescue medication. Baseline is defined as the last non-missing observation prior to the first dose of study treatment. ACQ-6 contains one bronchodilator question and 5 symptom questions. Questions are rated from 0 (totally controlled) to 6 (severely uncontrolled). Mean ACQ-6 score is the average of the responses. Smaller score indicates better controlled asthma.
