Retrospective, Observational, Portuguese Hospitals to Describe Patient Characteristics, Treatment Patterns and Outcomes

Completed
Conditions
Severe Asthma
Registration Number
NCT07159295
Lead Sponsor
AstraZeneca
Brief Summary

Benralizumab is indicated as an add-on maintenance treatment in adult patients with severe eosinophilic asthma inadequately controlled despite high-dose inhaled corticosteroids plus long-acting β2-agonists. It has been reimbursed in Portugal as an add-on therapy since May 2019. In order of this, there is crucial need in Portugal to provide key real-word evidence on benralizumab therapy.

Detailed Description

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
