Abstract
Bronchial asthma and chronic polypous rhinosinusitis are diseases associated with a T2-inflammatory immune response. These nosologies can be combined, creating the preconditions for a more severe course of multimorbidity, requiring the use of genetic engineering biological therapy. Dupilumab is a monoclonal antibody that can specifically bind to the alpha subunit of the interleukin-4 receptor and block the action of interleukins 4 and 13, which play a key role in the development of T2 inflammation. Numerous studies have demonstrated the high effectiveness of this medicament. The use of dupilumab in some cases may be accompanied by an increase in eosinophils in the blood. This article presents scientific base and our own experience in treating patients with dupilumab-associated eosinophilia, in addition we describe an algorithm for examining this group of patients for the purpose of timely diagnosis of diseases such as eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, eosinophilic pneumonia, etc. It should be noted that in the most cases eosinophilia during targeted therapy with dupilumab is temporary and does not cause clinical manifestations.

[PMID: 38380106 PMCID: PMC10877182 DOI: 10.1016/j.waojou.2024.100879] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2023] [Revised: 01/06/2024] [Accepted: 01/27/2024] [Indexed: 02/22/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common comorbid condition of asthma that affects the long-term outcome of asthmatic patients. CRS is a heterogeneous disease requiring multiple biomarkers to explain its pathogenesis. This study aimed to develop potential biomarkers for predicting CRS in adult asthmatic patients in a real-world clinical setting. Methods This study enrolled 108 adult asthmatic patients who had maintained anti-asthmatic medications, including medium-to-high doses of inhaled corticosteroid plus long-acting β2-agonists, and compared clinical characteristics between patients with CRS (CRS group) and those without CRS (non-CRS group). CRS was diagnosed based on the results of paranasal sinus X-ray and/or osteomeatal-unit CT as well as clinical symptoms. Type-2 parameters, including blood eosinophil count, serum levels of periostin/dipeptidyl peptidase 10 (DPP10) and clinical parameters, such as FEV1% and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), were analyzed. All biomarkers were evaluated by logistic regression and classification/regression tree (CRT) analyses. Results The CRS group had higher blood eosinophil counts/FeNO levels and prevalence of aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) than the non-CRS group (n = 57, 52.8% vs. n = 75, 47.2%; P < 0.05), but no differences in sex/smoking status or asthma control status were noted. The CRS group had higher serum periostin/DPP10 levels than the non-CRS group. Moreover, logistic regression demonstrated that serum periostin/DPP10 and the AERD phenotype were significant factors for predicting CRS in asthmatic patients (adjusted odds ratio, 2.14/1.94/12.39). A diagnostic algorithm and the optimal cutoff values determined by CRT analysis were able to predict CRS with 86.27% sensitivity (a 0.17 negative likelihood ratio). Conclusion Serum periostin, DPP10 and the phenotype of AERD are valuable biomarkers for predicting CRS in adult asthmatic patients in clinical practice.

Int Immunopharmacol 2024; 128:111540. [PMID: 38237227 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2024.111540] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2023] [Revised: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 02/08/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between metabolic syndrome (MS) and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) remains unclear. This study aimed to examine the effects of MS on histopathological features and postoperative recurrence in patients with CRSwNP. METHODS We recruited 529 patients with CRSwNP who underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery. They were divided into MS and non-MS groups and followed up for 2 years to evaluate postoperative recurrence. Clinical characteristics, histopathological features, the immunoactivity of signature cytokines, and the risk of postoperative recurrence were compared between the two groups. RESULTS In total, 490 patients with CRSwNP were included in the study, 145 of whom experienced postoperative recurrence. The recurrence rate, tissue eosinophil count and percentage, and expression levels of IL-5 and IL-17A were significantly higher in the MS group compared to the non-MS group. Furthermore, within the MS group, patients who experienced recurrence exhibited higher tissue eosinophil counts and IL-5 and IL-17A levels than those in the non-MS group. Notably, the eosinophil count and IL-5 and IL-17A levels were higher in tissues collected during revision surgery than in those collected during primary surgery, particularly in patients with MS. Binary logistic regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival curves consistently indicated that MS independently increased the risk of postoperative recurrence in patients with CRSwNP. Furthermore, the risk increased with the number of MS components presented. CONCLUSION MS promoted tissue eosinophil infiltration, and IL-5 and IL-17A expression, and increased the risk of postoperative recurrence in patients with CRSwNP. MS was identified as an independent risk factor for postoperative recurrence, and the risk increased with an increase in the number of MS components.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of the present review was to highlight the interactions between rhinitis, rhinosinusitis and asthma in children and to discuss the most relevant scientific progresses in the pathophysiology and treatment of these combined conditions. RECENT FINDINGS Advances in understanding the mechanisms underlying the relationship between upper and lower airways have provided valuable insights into the role of eosinophils in the pathophysiology of inflammatory events and have further delineated the concept of united airway disease. Studies addressed to evaluate the burden of sinonasal system on asthma outcomes showed a parallel severity of upper and lower airway diseases. Histopathology of sinonasal tissue in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis is different in adults and children. Targeted administration of biological agents represents an effective treatment in patients with severe uncontrolled asthma, but specific trials are awaited in children with chronic sinonasal disease. SUMMARY Allergic rhinitis and rhinosinusitis are important comorbidities in patients with asthma. Improved knowledge of pathogenic mechanisms of inflammation and remodelling in the sinonasal system and the lung has led to new therapeutic approaches in patients with united airway disease and opened interesting perspectives for personalized drug therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Scientific evidence on patients with multimorbid type 2 asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) from a united airways disease (UAD) perspective remains scarce, despite the frequent coexistence of these entities. We aimed to generate expert consensus-based recommendations for the management of UAD patients. METHODS Using a two-round Delphi method, Spanish expert allergists, pulmonologists and otolaryngologists expressed their agreement on 32 statements (52 items) on a 9-point Likert scale, classified as appropriate (median 7-9), uncertain (4-6) or inappropriate (1-3). Consensus was considered when at least two-thirds of the panel scored within the range containing the median. RESULTS A panel of 30 experts reached consensus on the appropriateness of 43 out of the 52 (82.7%) items. The usefulness of certain biomarkers (tissue and peripheral blood eosinophil count, serum total IgE, and fraction of exhaled nitric oxide [FeNO]) in the identification and follow-up of type 2 inflammation, and assessment of the response to biologics, were agreed. Some of these biomarkers were also associated with disease severity and/or recurrence after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). Consensus was achieved on treatment strategies related to the prescription of anti-IL-4/IL-13 or anti-IgE agents, concomitant treatment with systemic corticosteroids, and combining or switching to biologics with a different mechanism of action, considering a number of UAD clinical scenarios. CONCLUSION We provide expert-based recommendations to assist in clinical decision-making for the management of patients with multimorbid type 2 asthma and CRSwNP. Specific clinical trials and real-world studies focusing on the single-entity UAD are required to address controversial items.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In clinical and epidemiological studies, cutoffs of patient-reported outcome measures can be used to classify patients into groups of statistical and clinical relevance. However, visual analog scale (VAS) cutoffs in MASK-air have not been tested. OBJECTIVE To calculate cutoffs for VAS global, nasal, ocular, and asthma symptoms. METHODS In a cross-sectional study design of all MASK-air participants, we compared (1) approaches based on the percentiles (tertiles or quartiles) of VAS distributions and (2) data-driven approaches based on clusters of data from 2 comparators (VAS work and VAS sleep). We then performed sensitivity analyses for individual countries and for VAS levels corresponding to full allergy control. Finally, we tested the different approaches using MASK-air real-world cross-sectional and longitudinal data to assess the most relevant cutoffs. RESULTS We assessed 395,223 days from 23,201 MASK-air users with self-reported allergic rhinitis. The percentile-oriented approach resulted in lower cutoff values than the data-driven approach. We obtained consistent results in the data-driven approach. Following the latter, the proposed cutoff differentiating "controlled" and "partly-controlled" patients was similar to the cutoff value that had been arbitrarily used (20/100). However, a lower cutoff was obtained to differentiate between "partly-controlled" and "uncontrolled" patients (35 vs the arbitrarily-used value of 50/100). CONCLUSIONS Using a data-driven approach, we were able to define cutoff values for MASK-air VASs on allergy and asthma symptoms. This may allow for a better classification of patients with rhinitis and asthma according to different levels of control, supporting improved disease management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and bronchiectasis commonly co-occur, but most prior studies were not designed to evaluate temporality and causality. OBJECTIVES In a sample representing the general population in 37 counties in Pennsylvania, and thus the full spectrum of sinonasal and relevant lung diseases, we aimed to evaluate the temporality and strength of associations of CRS with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. METHODS We completed case-control analyses for each of 3 primary bronchiectasis case finding methods. We used electronic health records to identify CRS and bronchiectasis with diagnoses, procedure orders, and/or specific text in sinus or chest computerized tomography scan radiology reports. The controls never had any indication of bronchiectasis and were frequency-matched to the 3 bronchiectasis groups on the basis of age, sex, and encounter year. There were 5,329 unique persons with bronchiectasis and 33,363 without bronchiectasis in the 3 analyses. Important co-occurring conditions were identified with diagnoses, medication orders, and encounter types. Logistic regression was used to evaluate associations (odds ratios [ORs] and 95% CIs) of CRS with bronchiectasis while adjusting for confounding variables. RESULTS In adjusted analyses, CRS was consistently and strongly associated with all 3 bronchiectasis definitions. The strongest associations for CRS (ORs and 95% CIs) were those that were based on the text of sinus computerized tomography scan reports; the associations were generally stronger for CRS without nasal polyps (eg, OR = 4.46 [95% CI = 2.09-9.51] for diagnosis-based bronchiectasis). On average, CRS was identified more than 6 years before bronchiectasis. CONCLUSION Precedent CRS was strongly and consistently associated with increased risk of bronchiectasis.

Biomedicines 2021; 9:biomedicines9111684. [PMID: 34829913 PMCID: PMC8615363 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines9111684] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2021] [Revised: 11/08/2021] [Accepted: 11/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Asthma is a heterogeneous and complex condition characterized by chronic airway inflammation, which may be clinically stratified into three main phenotypes: type 2 (T2) low, T2-high allergic, and T2-high non-allergic asthma. This real-world study investigated whether phenotyping patients with asthma using non-invasive parameters could be feasible to characterize the T2-low and T2-high asthma phenotypes in clinical practice. This cross-sectional observational study involved asthmatic outpatients (n = 503) referring to the Severe Asthma Centre of the San Luigi Gonzaga University Hospital. Participants were stratified according to the patterns of T2 inflammation and atopic sensitization. Among outpatients, 98 (19.5%) patients had T2-low asthma, 127 (25.2%) T2-high non-allergic, and 278 (55.3%) had T2-high allergic phenotype. In comparison to T2-low, allergic patients were younger (OR 0.945, p < 0.001) and thinner (OR 0.913, p < 0.001), had lower smoke exposure (OR 0.975, p < 0.001) and RV/TLC% (OR 0.950, p < 0.001), higher prevalence of asthma severity grade 5 (OR 2.236, p < 0.05), more frequent rhinitis (OR 3.491, p < 0.001) and chronic rhinosinusitis with (OR 2.650, p < 0.001) or without (OR 1.919, p < 0.05) nasal polyps, but less common arterial hypertension (OR 0.331, p < 0.001). T2-high non-allergic patients had intermediate characteristics. Non-invasive phenotyping of asthmatic patients is possible in clinical practice. Identifying characteristics in the three main asthma phenotypes could pave the way for further investigations on useful biomarkers for precision medicine.

Abstract
Dupilumab is a fully humanized monoclonal antibody, capable of inhibiting intracellular signaling of both interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13. These are two molecules that, together with other proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-5 and eotaxins, play a pivotal role in orchestrating the airway inflammatory response defined as Type 2 (T2) inflammation, driven by Th2 or Type 2 innate lymphoid cells, which is the major feature of the T2 high asthma phenotype. The dual inhibition of IL-4 and IL-13 activities is due to the blockade of type II IL-4 receptor through the binding of dupilumab with the subunit IL-4Rα. This results in the repression of STAT6 and in the suppression of subsequent de novo formation of several molecules involved in the T2 inflammatory signature. Several clinical trials tested the efficacy and safety of dupilumab in large populations of uncontrolled severe asthmatics, revealing significant improvements in lung function, asthma control, and exacerbation rate. Similar results were reported when dupilumab was employed in patients harboring pathogenetic processes related to T2 immune response, such as atopic dermatitis and chronic rhinosinusitis. In this review, we provide an overview of the recent research in the field of respiratory medicine about dupilumab mechanism of action and its effects.

Abstract
Purpose Eosinophil count elevations are predictive of adverse outcomes in patients with asthma, yet little is known regarding longitudinal eosinophil patterns and their association with clinical outcomes. The goal of this study was to assess associations between longitudinal persistence of eosinophil elevations and both clinical outcomes and health care resource utilization (HCRU). Methods Data were extracted from 2 databases in the United Kingdom. Patients included were aged ≥13 years, had active asthma, and had ≥3 blood eosinophil count (BEC) recordings. Patients were categorized by BEC as: never high (all BEC ≤300 cells/µL), intermittently high (≥1 BEC >300 cells/µL but <75% of BEC >300 cells/µL), or persistently high (≥75% of BEC >300 cells/µL). Asthma exacerbations, asthma control (risk domain, overall, and full), and HCRU were evaluated for 12 months after the last BEC. Results The study population comprised 148,021 patients. Persistently high, intermittently high, and never high eosinophil patterns were detected in 13.6%, 40.5%, and 45.9% of patients, respectively. Patients with ≥1 elevated BEC were at greater risk for severe asthma exacerbations, regardless of whether the elevation was persistent (rate ratio [RR]: 1.28 [95% CI 1.24–1.33]; P < 0.001) or intermittent (RR: 1.24 [95% CI 1.21–1.27]; P < 0.001), compared with patients with no eosinophil elevations. Full asthma control was achieved by <25% of patients across eosinophil pattern groups, and HCRU did not appreciably differ, although patients with persistently high BEC had the shortest hospital stay duration among the groups. Conclusion These data suggest that elevated blood eosinophils, regardless of persistency, signify increased risk of severe asthma exacerbations.

Dupilumab improves upper and lower airway disease control in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps and asthma. Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol 2021; 126:584-592.e1. [PMID: 33465455 DOI: 10.1016/j.anai.2021.01.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 58] [Impact Index Per Article: 19.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2020] [Revised: 01/05/2021] [Accepted: 01/10/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and type 2 asthma share the same inflammatory pathophysiology and are frequent comorbidities. Dupilumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody, blocks the shared receptor component for interleukin 4 and interleukin 13, which are key and central drivers of type 2 inflammation. OBJECTIVE We report the effect of dupilumab vs placebo on outcome measures of the upper and lower airways and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in the pooled population of patients with CRSwNP and comorbid asthma from the phase 3 SINUS-24 (NCT02912468) and SINUS-52 (NCT02898454) studies. METHODS In these randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials, patients received subcutaneous dupilumab 300 mg (n = 438) or placebo (n = 286) every 2 weeks on a background of mometasone furoate nasal spray. Changes from baseline at week 24 in the upper and lower airway outcome measures are reported. RESULTS Of the 724 patients randomized, 428 (59.1%) had comorbid asthma. In patients with asthma at week 24, dupilumab vs placebo improved the nasal polyp score (-2.04), patient-reported nasal congestion score (-1.04), Lund-Mackay computed tomography scan score (-6.43), peak nasal inspiratory flow (46.15 L/min), and 22-item sinonasal outcome test score (-21.42; all P < .001). The forced expiratory volume in 1 second and 6-item asthma control questionnaire scores were also markedly improved with dupilumab vs placebo. The most common adverse events (nasopharyngitis, headache, injection-site erythema, worsening of nasal polyposis, and asthma) were more frequent with placebo than dupilumab. CONCLUSION Dupilumab improved upper and lower airway outcome measures and HRQoL in patients with severe CRSwNP and comorbid asthma and was well tolerated. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifiers: NCT02912468 (SINUS-24) and NCT02898454 (SINUS-52).
