Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The objective of this study is to longitudinally evaluate changes in convenience and psychological burden in patients with bronchial asthma who switch from conventional biologic therapies to a long-acting injectable therapy administered every 26 weeks. In addition, this study aims to assess temporal changes in patient-reported outcomes, including treatment satisfaction, and to examine the impact of extended dosing intervals on patient-centered outcomes.

Basic objectives -Others

As secondary objectives, this study will exploratorily evaluate the impact of switching to a long-acting injectable therapy on clinical outcomes in asthma. Specifically, changes in asthma control (including clinical remission), exacerbation frequency, ACT scores, lung function (FEV1), and peripheral blood eosinophil counts over time will be assessed.

Developmental phase



Assessment

Primary outcomes

Change in treatment satisfaction score from baseline (prior to switching) to 6 months after switching to a long-acting injectable therapy, assessed using a questionnaire.

Key secondary outcomes

Change in convenience score (baseline, 6 months, and 12 months; questionnaire using a 5-point Likert scale)
Change in psychological burden score (baseline, 6 months, and 12 months; questionnaire using a 5-point Likert scale)
Change in treatment satisfaction score (baseline, 6 months, and 12 months; questionnaire using a 5-point Likert scale)
Change in the proportion of patients achieving clinical remission (baseline and 12 months)
Change in the number of asthma exacerbations (comparison between 12 months before and 12 months after switching)
Change in Asthma Control Test (ACT) score (baseline, 6 months, and 12 months)
Change in lung function (FEV1) (baseline, 6 months, and 12 months)
Change in peripheral blood eosinophil count (baseline, 6 months, and 12 months)
