Abstract
Introduction: Coexisting type 2 inflammatory diseases such as allergic rhinitis (AR), atopic dermatitis (AD), chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and/or nasal polyposis (NP), eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), and urticaria are common in asthma. RAPID (NCT04287621), a global prospective registry, aimed to characterize patients with asthma initiating dupilumab in a real-world clinical setting. This analysis investigated the prevalence of coexisting type 2 inflammatory diseases in these patients.
Methods: Patients aged ≥ 12 years initiating dupilumab for asthma (primary indication) according to country-specific prescribing information were enrolled in RAPID. Patients had regular assessments at 1 month and thereafter every 3 months for up to 3 years, per standard of care across study sites.
Results: At the time of analysis, 205 patients were enrolled. Mean age of patients (stratified by type 2 coexisting disease) ranged from 42.3 to 57.3 years and mean body mass index from 29.9 to 31.8 kg/m2. Most patients were female (67.3% to 77.4%), and mean time since asthma diagnosis was 17.3 to 24.0 years, with mean duration of coexisting diseases ranging from 9.8 to 17.0 years. A total of 189 (92%) patients had ≥ 1 ongoing type 2 coexisting disease (AR, 80%; CRS and/or NP, 45% [CRS with NP, 47%; CRS without NP, 41%; NP, 12%]; AD, 27%; urticaria, 15%; and EoE, 3%).
Conclusion: This analysis from the RAPID registry shows that type 2 coexisting diseases are highly prevalent in patients with asthma initiating dupilumab in a clinical practice setting and highlights the importance of properly assessing patients to improve patient care.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Therapy is an international, peer reviewed, rapid-publication (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance) journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of therapeutics and interventions (including devices) across all therapeutic areas. Studies relating to diagnostics and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Advances in Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research.
