Mepolizumab Treatment in Patients with Severe Eosinophilic Asthma

TL;DR: Mepolizumab administered either intravenously or subcutaneously significantly reduced asthma exacerbations and was associated with improvements in markers of asthma control and the safety profile of mepolIZumab was similar to that of placebo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oral Glucocorticoid-Sparing Effect of Mepolizumab in Eosinophilic Asthma

TL;DR: In this paper, a randomized, double-blind trial involving 135 patients with severe eosinophilic asthma, compared the glucocorticoid-sparing effect of mepolizumab (at a dose of 100 mg) with that of placebo administered subcutaneously every 4 weeks for 20 weeks.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Salmeterol Multicenter Asthma Research Trial: A Comparison of Usual Pharmacotherapy for Asthma or Usual Pharmacotherapy Plus Salmeterol

TL;DR: Subgroup analyses suggest the risk may be greater in African Americans compared with Caucasian subjects and whether this risk is due to factors including but not limited to a physiologic treatment effect, genetic factors, or patient behaviors leading to poor outcomes remains unknown.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficacy of Salmeterol Xinafoate in the Treatment of COPD

TL;DR: These collective data support the use of salmeterol as first-line bronchodilator therapy for the long-term treatment of airflow obstruction in patients with COPD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Severe eosinophilic asthma treated with mepolizumab stratified by baseline eosinophil thresholds: a secondary analysis of the DREAM and MENSA studies.

TL;DR: An analysis of data from two randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies of at least 32 weeks duration has shown a close relationship between baseline blood eosinophil count and clinical efficacy of mepolizumab in patients with severe eOSinophilic asthma and a history of exacerbations.
