Brief Summary

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

This pilot study will use novel technologies to collect information about the patient experience before and early after starting Fasenra (benralizumab) as standard of care for severe uncontrolled asthma in a real-world setting, to determine how the experience changes over time. Any detection of an early, subjective first-dose effect in this pilot study will be further validated in a larger follow-up study.

Detailed Description

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

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: Explore the use of novel technologies to detect early changes in quality of life (QoL) within the first 4 weeks after first dose of Fasenra for the treatment of severe uncontrolled asthma.

ENDPOINTS: Improvement in QoL measures, and physical and mental well-being as assessed by an increase in positive facial expressions, positive keywords, and quality of life biomarkers, with a decrease in asthma symptoms and improvement in FEV1 and PEF within the first 4 weeks after beginning Fasenra.

TARGET POPULATION: Individuals aged 18-75 years with severe asthma uncontrolled (ACQ \>=1.5) on current medications (HD-ICS/LABA with/without other maintenance therapies except biologics). Patients beginning Fasenra asstandard of care as specified by NICE guidelines.

STUDY DURATION: The study duration per patient will be approximately 6 weeks from the enrolment visit to end of recorded data. Subjects will record data for 2 weeks prior to their first injection with Fasenra and then for 4 more weeks post-injection. PROCEDURESPatients will be required to visit the study site 3 times (enrolment and onboarding visit, Fasenra injection visit, last visit), and perform daily tasks at home in between site visits

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria

* Individuals aged 18-75 years with severe asthma uncontrolled (ACQ \>=1.5) on current medications (HD-ICS/LABA with/without other maintenance therapies except biologics).
* Patients beginning Fasenra as standard of care as specified by NICE guidelines. That is, patients having either 4 exacerbations in the previous year and an eosinophil count over 300 cells/ microliter OR 3 exacerbations in the previous year and an eosinophil count over 400 cells/ microliter.
* Provision of informed consent prior to any study specific procedures
* Patients must have a smartphone that is compatible with the device software (iOS and Android).
* Availability of, and willingness to use, without reimbursement of any potential additional costs incurred, their computer and/or iOS/Android device for the collection and transmission of information
* English speaking and reading (ability to understand ICF, patient materials, the study app and to interact with the onboarding agent).

Exclusion Criteria

* Patients taking daily prednisolone (or equivalent)
* Patients currently taking a biologic medication or participating in a clinical study involving a biologic medication for a respiratory illness.
* Comorbid conditions that cause symptoms similar to those experienced with asthma (e.g./ cough, wheeze, breathlessness, or nighttime awakening).
* Patients with comorbidities that also significantly affect patient's quality of life and daily functioning as determined by the treating physician.
* Presence of other chronic pulmonary conditions (e.g./ COPD)
* Patients that in the opinion of the physician are unlikely to complete 6 weeks of the study (example reasons: digital literacy, unwillingness/inability to interact with apps; historically poor adherence to study procedures)
