Additionally, the incremental contribution of type 2 inflammation, a common, treatable process, is undetermined. We aimed to quantify the prognostic value of baseline characteristics and type 2 inflammatory biomarkers, specifically blood eosinophil count and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), to predict asthma attacks.<h3>Methods</h3>In this systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs), Oxford Asthma Attack Risk Scale 2 (ORACLE2), we searched MEDLINE from Jan 1, 1993, to April 1, 2021, for trials investigating fixed treatment regimen effects on asthma attack rates for at least 6 months with baseline blood eosinophil count and FeNO. Eligible participants were aged 12 years or older with asthma (any severity) who had been randomly assigned to the control group of an RCT. Relevant trials were manually retrieved and reviewed by two independent reviewers (SC and IDP). Disagreements were discussed with five reviewers. Individual patient data (IPD) for meta-analysis were requested from study authors. We investigated the rate of severe asthma attacks (≥3 days of systemic corticosteroids) for at least 6 months and prognostic effects of baseline blood eosinophil count and FeNO in control group participants. Rate ratios (RRs) with 95% CIs were derived for annualised asthma attack rates from negative binomial models adjusted for key variables, including blood eosinophil count and FeNO, and interactions between these type 2 inflammatory biomarkers were explored. Certainty of evidence was assessed using GRADE. The heterogeneity of the included studies and potential for ecological bias were quantified by the concordance statistic (C-statistic). This study was registered with PROSPERO, CRD42021245337.<h3>Findings</h3>We identified 976 potentially eligible studies. After automated screening, we manually reviewed 219 full-text articles. Of these, 19 publications comprising 23 RCTs were eligible. 6513 participants (4140 [64%] female; 2370 [36%] male; three missing) spanning 22 RCTs were included for data analysis. 5972 (92%) of 6513 patients had moderate-to-severe asthma. 4615 asthma attacks occurred during 5482 person-years of follow-up (annualised rate 0·84 per person-year). Higher blood eosinophil count or FeNO was linked to higher asthma attack risk (per 10-fold increase, RR 1·48 [95% CI 1·30–1·68] for blood eosinophil count and 1·44 [1·26–1·65] for FeNO; high-certainty evidence). Other prognostic factors were attack history (yes <em>vs</em> no, RR 1·94 [1·61–2·32]); disease severity (severe <em>vs</em> moderate, RR 1·57 [1·22–2·03]); FEV<sub>1</sub> percentage predicted (FEV<sub>1</sub>%; per 10% decrease, RR 1·11 [1·08–1·15]); and 5-item Asthma Control Questionnaire score (ACQ-5; per 0·5 increase, RR 1·10 [1·07–1·13]).

HSK31858 is a novel reversible inhibitor of DPP-1.

Participants were aged 18 years or older with a physician diagnosis of bronchiectasis, according to chest high-resolution CT showing bronchial dilatation and compatible respiratory symptoms, and at least two exacerbations within 12 months before screening. Participants were randomly assigned (1:1:1) via a central interactive web-response system to receive 20 mg HSK31858, 40 mg HSK31858, or placebo, orally, once daily for 24 weeks.
