Biologics for oral corticosteroid-dependent asthma

Abstract

Background: Oral corticosteroid (OCS) dependent asthma is one of the severe asthma phenotypes that requires personalized treatment. Objective: To review the role of biologic treatments in OCS-dependent asthma. Methods: A nonsystematic review was performed of emerging multiple novel biologics for potential treatment of OCS-dependent asthma. Results: The serious adverse effects of OCS can be seen as a result of their regular long-term administration. Anti‐interleukin (IL) 5 (mepolizumab), anti‐IL-5R (benralizumab), and anti‐IL-4Rα (dupilumab) are the therapies of choice for OCS-dependent severe asthma. Results of studies showed the efficacy of mepolizumab, benralizumab, and dupilumab, especially in patients with the OCS-dependent severe eosinophilic asthma phenotype and with nasal polyps. Dupilumab may be the therapy of choice of monoclonal antibodies in cases of moderate-severe atopic dermatitis accompanied by OCS-dependent severe asthma. For reslizumab and omalizumab, placebo controlled double-blind studies conducted with OCS-dependent patient populations are needed. Conclusion: Biologics are effective in the “OCS-dependent asthma” phenotype as add-on therapy. It seems that chronic OCS use in OCS-dependent asthma will be replaced by biologic agents that specifically target type 2 inflammation, along with a much better safety profile. However, real-life studies that compare these biologics in OCS-dependent severe asthma are urgently needed.
