In ihrem 2019 aktualisierten Bericht schreibt die Global Initiative for Asthma, die möglichen Vorteile der Allergen-Immuntherapie (AIT) gegenüber medikamentösen und Karenzmaßnahmen müssten gegen das Nebenwirkungsrisiko sowie den Aufwand und die Kosten dieser langfristigen Form der Asthmatherapie abgewogen werden. Mit dem Ziel, diesbezüglich bei einigen Aspekten des möglichen Einsatzes der AIT als Teil des therapeutischen Arsenals bei allergischem Asthma mehr Klarheit zu schaffen, hat ein allergologisches Expertengremium aus der Mitgliedschaft der spanischen Fachgesellschaft für Allergologie und klinische Immunologie (SEAIC), genauer gesagt aus deren Arbeitsgruppen für Immuntherapie und Asthma, eine Aufstellung häufiger Fragen für die klinische Praxis zusammengetragen. Dieses Dokument soll den aktuellen Stand wichtiger Aspekte der Anwendung der AIT bei Asthma darstellen, Ärztinnen und Ärzten als klinische Entscheidungshilfe dienen und zu besseren Behandlungsergebnissen für die Patienten beitragen.

Background: Anxiety and depression are common psychological disturbances among asthmatic patients. The aim of the present study is the assessment of anxiety and depression in asthmatic patients and their correlation with symptoms control level and number of exacerbations per year. Methods: One hundred patients with asthma diagnosis, according to the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA), aged > 18 years old, having a stable disease, were included. Emotional status was evaluated using the Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS). Patients were followed up for a year to assess the number and severity of exacerbations. Results: Most of our patients were female (58%), middle-aged (mean = 54 ± 13), and married (81%), with low frequency of smoking habits (smokers, ex-smokers and non-smokers were 26%, 30% and 37%, respectively) and low levels of both anxiety and depression [median (interquartile range (IQR)) = 4(2) and median (IQR) = 4(2), respectively]. At the low and moderate level of the depression subscale, female patients experienced asthma exacerbations more frequently compared to male patients (adjusted Incidence Rate Ratio (aIRR) = 4.30; 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 1.94–9.53 and aIRR = 1.82; 95% CI: 1.07–3.13, respectively). Conclusions. Clinicians should evaluate asthma patients for depression, as gender differentially influences outcomes among those with low and moderate levels of depression, with female asthmatics presenting more frequent exacerbations.

The Relationship

The aim of this study was evaluation whether there is an association between BMI, leptin and its soluble receptor, the expression of FoxP3 in CD4+ pTreg in women with severe asthma. Materials and methods. The study included thirty women with asthma: 17 patients with severe and 13 with mild-moderate disease. The control group comprised of 25 healthy women. Asthma was diagnosed in accordance with the Global Initiative For Asthma guidelines (GINA 2014). The phenotype of CD4+CD25highCD127lowFoxp3+CD152+ cells was evaluated by multicolor flow cytometry. The concentration of leptin and its soluble receptor were determined using an immunoenzymatic method (ELISA). Results. It has been shown significantly increased leptin concentration in the group of women with severe asthma compared with mild-moderate asthma and control group (p <0.05). The concentration of the leptin receptor significantly increased (p <0.05) in women with severe asthma compared with control group. There were no differences in percentage of CD4+FoxP3+ and CD4+CD25highCD127low- FoxP3+CD152+ subsets after leptin stimulation in all tested groups. Conclusions. Our results don’t confirm the direct effect of leptin on the CD4+ pTreg cells and the expression of FoxP3 in these cells, in tested groups.

Izhodišče: Skoraj 50 % bolnikov z astmo ima v klinični praksi kljub zdravljenju po merilih GINA (Global Initiative for Asthma) neurejeno bolezen. Najpogostejši vzroki neurejene astme so: nepravilna uporaba vdihovalnika, slabo sodelovanje bolnika, nepravilna diagnoza astme, pridružene bolezni (rinosinuzitis, GERB (gastroezofagealna refluksna bolezen), debelost, depresija, obstruktivna nočna apneja) in tudi stalna izpostavljenost specifičnim sprožilcem astme (alergeni, zdravila in kajenje).Metode: Med 323 bolniki z neurejeno astmo v 14 zunajbolnišničnih pnevmoloških ambulantah je med decembrom 2017 in aprilom 2018 potekala opazovalna raziskava. Raziskovalci so v svojih ambulantah vnašali podatke o najpogostejših vzrokih za neurejeno astmo in hudih poslabšanjih v zadnjem letu v elektronski sistem za zbiranje podatkov.Rezultati: Najpogostejši dejavniki, povezani z neurejeno astmo, so bile pridružene bolezni v 70 % (debelost 33 %, rinosinusitis 28 %, GERB 22 %), specifični sprožilci v 56 % (izpostavljenost alergenom 39 %, zdravila 35 %, kajenje 10 %) in slabo sodelovanje bolnikov v 53 %. Trideset odstotkov bolnikov je imelo vsaj eno hudo poslabšanje v zadnjem letu. Logistična regresijska analiza je pokazala, da sta nerazumevanje vloge zdravil (95 % IZ: [1,4; 4,8]; p = 0019) in odsotnost individualiziranega načrta samozdravljenja (95 %IZ:[1,3; 4,3]; p = 0,042) najpomembnejša vzroka za huda poslabšanja. Težko astmo po merilih GINA je imelo 23 % bolnikov, vključenih v raziskavo.Zaključek: Najpogostejši dejavniki, ki so povezani z neurejeno astmo pri vzorčni populaciji odraslih bolnikov z neurejeno astmo v zunajbolnišničnih pnevmoloških ambulantah po Sloveniji, so pridružene bolezni, specifični sprožilci in slaba adherenca bolnikov. Ti bolniki imajo še vedno huda poslabšanja. V prihodnosti bo potrebno bolnike z astmo še bolje izobraziti in jih vse oskrbeti z individualiziranim načrtom samozdravljenja astme.

Aim: A systematic literature review and network meta-analysis assessed the efficacy and safety of reslizumab 3.0 mg/kg and mepolizumab 100 mg. Materials & methods: Eligible studies evaluated reslizumab and mepolizumab in patients with inadequately-controlled severe eosinophilic asthma. Using a Bayesian network meta-analysis, 95% credible intervals and posterior probabilities were reported. Results: Of 19 indirect efficacy comparisons performed in base-case (Global Initiative for Asthma 4/5 patients with ≥2 exacerbations in the previous year) and overall populations, significant differences favoring reslizumab were observed for severe exacerbations, FEV1 at 4 weeks and eosinophil counts at 4, 16 and 24 weeks, with no other significant differences including risk of adverse events. Conclusion: Indirect comparison of reslizumab and mepolizumab largely showed no significant differences in efficacy or safety.

New biologics are being continually developed for paediatric asthma, but it is unclear whether there are sufficient numbers of children in Europe with severe asthma and poor control to recruit to trials needed for registration. To address these questions, the European Respiratory Society funded the Severe Paediatric Asthma Collaborative in Europe (SPACE), a severe asthma registry. We report the first analysis of the SPACE registry, which includes data from 10 paediatric respiratory centres across Europe.Data from 80 children with a clinical diagnosis of severe asthma who were receiving both high-dose inhaled corticosteroid and long-acting β2-agonist were entered into the registry between January 2019 and January 2020. Suboptimal control was defined by either asthma control test, or Global Initiative for Asthma criteria, or ≥2 severe exacerbations in the previous 12 months, or a combination.Overall, 62 out of 80 (77%) children had suboptimal asthma control, of whom 29 were not prescribed a biologic. However, in 24 there was an option for starting a licensed biologic. 33 children with suboptimal control were prescribed a biologic (omalizumab (n=24), or mepolizumab (n=7), or dupilumab (n=2)), and for 29 there was an option to switch to a different biologic.We conclude that the SPACE registry provides data that will support the planning of studies of asthma biologics. Not all children on biologics achieve good asthma control, and there is need for new trial designs addressing biologic switching.
