Real-World Response to Dupilumab as Add-on Therapy in Adults and Adolescents with Type 2 Severe Asthma: A Spanish Cohort Study

Background: Dupilumab has demonstrated efficacy in type 2 severe asthma in clinical trials. Real-world data, particularly from Spain and including patients with prior biologic failure, remains limited. This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of dupilumab in a Spanish cohort with type 2 severe asthma over 12 months. Methods: ), Asthma Control Test (ACT), quality of life (Mini-AQLQ), systemic corticosteroid use, and biomarkers (total IgE, eosinophil count, FeNO), were collected at baseline, 6, and 12 months. The EXACTO scale was used to assess response in non-oral corticosteroid (OCS)-dependent patients at 12 months. Subgroup analyses included chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and OCS-dependent patients at baseline. Results: =0.166). No new safety signals were identified. Conclusion: This Spanish real-world study confirms sustained effectiveness and acceptable safety of dupilumab in type 2 severe asthma, including patients with prior biologic failure and comorbid CRSwNP, supporting its use in routine clinical practice.

Abstract

Background: Dupilumab has demonstrated efficacy in type 2 severe asthma in clinical trials. Real-world data, particularly from Spain and including patients with prior biologic failure, remains limited. This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of dupilumab in a Spanish cohort with type 2 severe asthma over 12 months. Methods: ), Asthma Control Test (ACT), quality of life (Mini-AQLQ), systemic corticosteroid use, and biomarkers (total IgE, eosinophil count, FeNO), were collected at baseline, 6, and 12 months. The EXACTO scale was used to assess response in non-oral corticosteroid (OCS)-dependent patients at 12 months. Subgroup analyses included chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and OCS-dependent patients at baseline. Results: =0.166). No new safety signals were identified. Conclusion: This Spanish real-world study confirms sustained effectiveness and acceptable safety of dupilumab in type 2 severe asthma, including patients with prior biologic failure and comorbid CRSwNP, supporting its use in routine clinical practice.
