The co-occurrence of active tuberculosis (TB) in patients with moderate to severe asthma presents unique therapeutic challenges, particularly the advent biologics like dupilumab, which targets interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) pathways treatment. Despite general safety biologics, concerns about immunosuppression susceptibility infections TB persist. This case report discusses a male severe, uncontrolled type 2 allergic asthma, who experienced multiple exacerbations despite maximal bronchodilator therapy then concomitantly developed pulmonary TB. demonstrates potential clinical scenario for co-administering dupilumab anti-TB treatment, suggesting beneficial approach similar scenarios contributing literature on this topic.

Background Long-term daily practice data on patient-reported benefits of dupilumab for atopic dermatitis (AD) remains limited. Objective To evaluate outcome measures (PROMs) and the safety in patients with moderate-to-severe AD over a follow-up period up to 5 years. Methods Data were extracted from prospective, multicenter BioDay registry (October 2017 - 2022) treated practice. Results In total 1223 patients, 1108 adults 115 pediatric included. After ≥1 year treatment, mean Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM), Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), Numeric rating scale (NRS)-pruritus ranged between 7.8-8.7, 3.5-4.2, 2.9-3.1 adults, respectively, whilst these PROMs 8.9-10.9, 4.4-6.4, 3.0-3.7 respectively. At follow-up, overall work impairment decreased 40.1% 13.3-16.3% adults. Furthermore, class I obesity itch-dominant generally had less favorable treatment response. Of all 66.8% reported adverse event, conjunctivitis being most common(33.7%). Limitations The percentage missing values selected was 26% 46% patients. Conclusion addition safety, has demonstrated sustained effectiveness across various PROMs, underscoring patients' perspectives.

Severe asthma (SA) is still a demanding challenge in clinical practice. Type 2 inflammation the most common phenotype children and adolescents with SA. As result, anti-inflammatory drugs, mainly corticosteroids (CSs), represent first choice to reduce type inflammation. However, SA patients may require high inhaled oral CS doses achieve maintain control. Some patients, despite highest dosages, can even display uncontrolled asthma. Therefore, biological era constituted breakthrough managing this condition. Dupilumab monoclonal antibody directed against IL-4 receptor α-subunit (IL-4Rα), antagonizing both IL-13, has been approved for pediatric severe This review presents discusses recent published studies on dupilumab There convincing evidence that safe effective option as it exacerbations, use, improve lung function, control, quality of life, also caregivers. thorough diagnostic pathway mandatory, concerning phenotyping.

Background: Over the last few decades, efficacy of biological therapies for COPD has been evaluated by different randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Still, evaluation real-world data and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) have not performed in this field before. In current work, we present a systematic literature review PROMs treatments COPD. Methods: Three large databases (MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect) were utilized review. Clinical studies (RCT, cohorts, case series/reports) assessing patients with treated any therapy included. Results: The resulted twelve eligible (nine three “real-world” series/reports). included was mainly limited to severity burden respiratory symptoms. Most associated improved compared baseline, although placebo. Dupilumab only biologic proven RCT both objective subjective measures. One prior study reported patients’ self-perceived drug effects, none perceived disease status. Only 25 assessed setting all combined. Real-world retrospective form reports or series. Conclusions: There are on experience While missing, biases such as placebo effect must be considered, requiring their incorporation outcomes from prospective trials.

Abstract Type 2 dominant inflammation in nasal mucosa is the key underlying pathophysiological mechanism of allergic rhinitis (AR) and most presentations chronic rhinosinusitis with polyps (CRSwNP). Interleukin‐4 (IL‐4) IL‐13 share common receptor subunits signaling molecules, which lead to various pathological changes different cells, playing roles pathogenesis type inflammation. Numerous clinical trials have shown that biologics targeting molecules IL‐4/IL‐13 pathway, especially IL‐4 alpha, can treat CRSwNP AR high efficacy, are generally well tolerated.

Methods: From January 2021 through December 2022, asthma who were treated 4 months included. Symptom control, type 2 inflammatory biomarkers, lung function collected at baseline follow-up assessment. Super-responders defined as exacerbation-free, off maintenance oral corticosteroids (mOCS), score five-item Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ-5) <0.5. The uni- multivariable logistic regressions used construct predictive models based on features. Results: A total 53 After treatment, median (interquartile range [IQR]) ACQ-5 decreased from 1.8 (1.6-2.4) 0.4 (0.2-0.8) (p < 0.001), (IQR) number exacerbations, 0.0 (0.0-1.0) (0.0-0.0) = 0.005). dose mOCS (prednisone equivalent) 15.0 mg/day (8.8-22.5 mg/day) 2.5 (0.0-10.0 0.008) nine receiving mOCS.
