摘要
Background: Asthma exacerbation frequencies vary throughout the year owing to seasonal triggers. Tezepelu-mab is a human monoclonal antibody that targets thymic stromal lymphopoietin. In the phase 3 NAVIGATOR study (NCT03347279), tezepelumab significantly reduced the annualized asthma exacerbation rate (AAER) vs placebo in patients with severe, uncontrolled asthma. Objective: To evaluate the effect of tezepelumab on asthma exacerbations across all seasons in NAVIGATOR patients (post hoc). Methods: NAVIGATOR was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Patients (12-80 years old) were randomized 1:1 to tezepelumab 210 mg or placebo subcutaneously every 4 weeks for 52 weeks. AAER over 52 weeks was assessed by season. Data from patients in the Southern Hemisphere were transformed to align with Northern Hemisphere seasons. Results: Tezepelumab reduced the AAER vs placebo by 63% (95% confidence interval [CI], 52-72) in winter, 46% (95% CI, 26-61) in spring, 62% (95% CI, 48-73) in summer, and 54% (95% CI, 41-64) in fall. In matched climates, during the spring allergy season (March 1 to June 15) and ragweed allergy season (September), tezepelumab reduced the AAER vs placebo in patients with seasonal allergy by 59% (95% CI, 29-77) and 70% (95% CI, 33-87), respectively. In patients with perennial allergy and in those with seasonal allergy, tezepelumab reduced the AAER vs placebo across all seasons. Conclusion: Tezepelumab reduced exacerbations across all seasons vs placebo in patients with severe, uncon-trolled asthma, including patients with seasonal and perennial allergies. These data further support the efficacy of tezepelumab in a broad population of patients with severe, uncontrolled asthma.
