In this double-blind, placebo-controlled study, we randomly assigned 31 patients with mild allergic asthma to receive three monthly doses of AMG 157 (700 mg) or placebo intravenously. Treatment with AMG 157 reduced allergen- induced bronchoconstriction and indexes of airway inflammation before and after allergen challenge. Gauvreau G NEJM 2014
Tezepelumab in Adults with Uncontrolled Asthma Among patients treated with long- acting beta-agonists and medium- to-high doses of inhaled glucocorticoids, those who received tezepelumab had lower rates of clinically significant asthma exacerbations than those who received placebo, independent of baseline blood eosinophil counts Corren J NEJM 2017

IL-33 induces selective remodeling of chromatin at the Il5 Locus in memory Th2 Cells IL-33 selectively licensed memory Th2 cells to induce allergic airway inflammation via production of IL-5 and the p38 MAP kinase pathway was a central downstream target of IL-33-ST2 in memory Th2 cells.

In inner-city African American children, 12 cytokines were significant predictors of Difficult-to-Control asthma (n = 235). CXCL-1, IL-5, IL-8, and IL-17A were positively associated with Difficult-to-Control asthma, while IL-4 and IL-13 were positively associated with Easy-to-Control asthma. Mixed responses characterized by TH2 (IL-5) and TH17-associated cytokines were associated with Difficult-to-Control asthma. Collectively, these data may contribute to risk stratification of Difficult-to-Control asthma in the African American population Brown KR PLoS One 2017
576 patients with recurrent asthma exacerbations and evidence of 135 patients with severe eosinophilic asthma, treated with mepolizumab administered eosinophilic inflammation despite high doses of inhaled glucocorticoids Patients subcutaneously every 4 weeks for 20 weeks. Despite receiving a reduced glucocorticoid dose, were assigned to receive mepolizumab, either a 75-mg intravenous dose or a 100- patients in the mepolizumab group, had a mg subcutaneous dose, or placebo every relative reduction of 32% in the annualized rate of exacerbations. 4 weeks for 32 weeks Bel EH NEJM 2014 Ortega HG NEJM 2014
Mepolizumab for Eosinophilic COPD Mepolizumab at a dose of 100 mg was associated with a lower annual rate of moderate or severe exacerbations than placebo among patients with COPD and an eosinophilic phenotype. This finding suggests that eosinophilic airway inflammation contributes to COPD exacerbations. Pavord ID NEJM 2017

Brodalumab blocks both IL-17A and IL-25 Brodalumab binds human interleukin-17RA and blocks the biologic activity of interleukins 17A, 17F, 17A/F heterodimer, 17C and 17E (interleukin-25) Nirula A Rheumatology 2017
Brodalumab has been tested in patients with severe asthma, although patients with neutrophilia were unfortunately not selected for this study Conclusions : Inhibition of IL-17 receptor A did not produce a treatment effect in subjects with asthma. Primary endpoint was change in Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) score from baseline to week 12. Secondary endpoints included FEV1, symptom scores, and symptom-free days. The results of the high-reversibility subgroup (post-bronchodilator FEV 1 improvement ≥ 20%; n = 112) was an ACQ change with nominal significance noted; analysis are of uncertain significance, requiring further study of brodalumab in this asthma subpopulation. Busse W et al. Am J Resp Crit Care Med 2013
Concluding remarks Biologicals targeting both innate and adaptive immunity are effective in type 2 • inflammation in bronchial asthma if patients are selected on the basis of their asthma phenotype. Despite stratification, in non-type 2 asthma and in COPD the results of targeted therapy have proved disappointing. Bel E Chest 2017
