Observational Retrospective Study on Clinical Outcomes of Patients Receiving Benralizumab in Spain.

Completed
Conditions
Severe Asthma
Registration Number
NCT04648839
Lead Sponsor
AstraZeneca
Brief Summary

Primary Objectives:

1. To describe the demographic and baseline characteristics in patients with severe eosinophilic asthma in Spain who received at least one dose of Benralizumab, after its marketing authorization

2. To describe background treatment patterns of severe eosinophilic asthma patients at baseline and after the index date (benralizumab initiation)

This is a descriptive, observational, multi-centre, longitudinal, retrospective cohort study in adults patients (≥18 years) with severe asthma (maintenance treatment with high dose inhaled corticosteroids combined with long-acting agonist β2) and eosinophilic phenotype, who, at the discretion of the physician, received benralizumab accordingly to the clinical practice, in the period after the marketing authorization of benralizumab in Spain, on January 1st 2019.
