Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In severe prednisone-dependent eosinophilic asthma, Benralizumab would suppress airway eosinophilia that is not suppressed by either Mepolizumab or Reslizumab and this would be associated with greater asthma control

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Benralizumab thus targets 'eosinophil biology', by inhibiting the interleukin (IL-5) receptor signalling, and inducing apoptosis in cells with an IL-5receptor. Hence, for patients who remain 'uncontrolled' on anti-IL-5 therapy (with detectable eosinophil activity and IL5-Rα+ cells in the airways), the investigators believe would benefit from a strategy that not only reduces eosinophil proliferation/recruitment/maturation, but also depletes cells capable of inducing downstream IL-5 signalling.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Informed consent Prior to the beginning of the study, patients must be willing and fully capable to provide written informed consent.
2. Diagnosed prednisone-dependent eosinophilic asthma
3. Previous treatment with 100 mg mepolizumab administered subcutaneously Q4W or reslizumab 3 mg/kg IV Q4W for at least 6 months
4. Sputum eosinophils \>3%
5. ACQ ≥1.5
6. Age \>18
7. Male or eligible female subjects:

To be eligible for entry into the study, females of childbearing potential (premenopausal women who are not permanently sterilized by means of hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or bilateral salpingectomy) must commit to consistent and correct use of a highly effective method of birth control (true sexual abstinence, a vasectomized sexual partner, Implanon, female tubal occlusion, Intrauterine device (IUD), Depo provera injections, oral contraceptive pills or Nuvaring) for the duration of the trial and for 3 months after the last study drug administration. A serum pregnancy test is required of all females at the initial Baseline Visit (Visit 1). In addition, a urine pregnancy test will be performed for all females prior to enrollment, during each scheduled study visit prior to the injection of investigational product, and during the Follow-up Visit.
8. Male subjects who are sexually active must agree to use a double barrier method of contraception (condom with spermicide) from the first dose of study drug and for 3 months after the last dose of study drug.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Currently receiving another monoclonal antibody
2. Intolerance, hypersensitivity, insensitivity or neutralizing antibody to Mepolizumab and/or Reslizumab
3. Malignancy within the last 5 years
4. Any co-morbidity that the investigator believes is a contraindication. This includes but is not limited to any respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, hematological, neurological, immunological, musculoskeletal, renal, infectious, neoplastic or inflammatory condition that may place the safety of the subject at risk during the duration of the study, influence the results of the study or their interpretation, or prevent the patient from completing the entire duration of the study.
5. Current pregnancy or lactation
6. Current smoker or ex-smoker with a smoking history greater than 20 pack years.
