Objectives

Narrative objectives1

This study may clarify the following research questions by examining the effectiveness of mepolizumab in the real-world setting in severe asthma patients with various backgrounds, such as a smoking history of 10 pack-year or more and no airways reversibility, and it is expected to bridge the gap between the clinical trials reported to date and the actual treatment in clinical practice.
1) To what extent does mepolizumab reduce the frequency of asthma exacerbations and use of systemic steroids for patients with severe asthma in the real-world setting?
2) Are mepolizumab efficacious in severe asthma patients with a smoking history of 10 pack-years or more?
3) Can we predict the effectiveness of mepolizumab for asthma exacerbations by patient background factors including comorbidities and biomarkers?
4) Does mepolizumab improve sinonasal computed tomography (CT)findings presenting with eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis(ECRS) in severe asthma patients?

Assessment

Primary outcomes

1) Frequency of clinically significant asthma exacerbations from the first day of mepolizumab to Week 12-52
2) Changes in the use of systemic steroids from the date of the first dose of mepolizumab to a maximum of 52 weeks later

Key secondary outcomes

1) Time course of ACQ, ACT, AHQ, FEV1, eosinophil counts, basophil counts, neutrophil counts, lymphocyte counts, FeNO, biomarkers, sinonasal CT/MRI scores, and nasal manifestations from the starting day of mepolizumab treatment to up to 52 weeks.
2) ~ 6) Associations between baseline and clinically significant asthma exacerbations, ACQ, ACT, AHQ, FEV1, and sinonasal CT/MRI scores during mepolizumab treatment:
2) History of smoking >=10 pack-year/<
3) Airway reversible positive/negative
4) Comorbidities
5) Biomarkers
6) Patient background factors (items in Tables 3, 4, and 5)
7) Relationship between change in ACQ, ACT, FEV1, frequency of exacerbations, biomarkers (eosinophil count, ECP), or time points and subsequent improvement in each clinically significant asthma exacerbation, ACQ, ACT, or FEV1 after 4 and 12 weeks of mepolizumab treatment.
8) Post-discontinuation treatment patterns in patients who discontinued mepolizumab.
9) Correlation between sinonasal CT findings and improvement in asthma exacerbations.
10) Effectiveness of mepolizumab on eosinophilic otitis media.

Key inclusion criteria

1) Age 20 or older
2) Diagnosed as severe asthma at the first dose of mepolizumab
3) Have results of measurement of peripheral blood eosinophil count at the first dose of mepolizumab
4) The number of with asthma exacerbations* from 12 weeks prior to the first mepolizumab dose to the time of the first mepolizumab dose is known
5) Previous mepolizumab treatment for >12 weeks
6) It is possible to obtain written informed consent for participation in this study.

*; The definition of asthma exacerbation is as follows.
a. Systemic steroids, including oral and IV products, administered for 3 days or more in association with asthma exacerbation
(Day of onset; Day of first administration of systemic steroids including oral and IV formulations associated with asthma exacerbation)
b. In patients who regularly use oral corticosteroids, at least twice the usual dose for at least 3 days
(Day of onset; day when oral steroids at least twice the daily dose were started for at least 3 days with asthma exacerbation)
c. Asthma exacerbation requiring visit to the emergency department or hospitalization
(Day of onset; date of emergency department visit or hospitalization associated with asthma exacerbation)

Key exclusion criteria

1) There is a significant lack of information recorded in the medical record.
2) Some or all mepolizumab treatments were performed outside the study site
3) Other than the above, the principal investigator subinvestigator judged the participation in the study to be inappropriate.
