Research Status and Future Trends of Targeted Biologics for Severe Asthma
Asthma is a common chronic airway inflammatory disease in the world,and severe asthma is difficult to be well controlled,which is a great challenge in clinical treatment.With the deepening of the research on the mechanism and treatment of severe asthma,targeted biotherapy has become a new therapeutic approach for the treatment of severe asthma.Currently approved biologics mainly include anti-IL-5/IL-5R monoclonal antibodies,anti-IgE monoclonal antibodies,anti-IL-4/13 monoclonal antibodies,anti-TSLP monoclonal antibodies,mainly for patients with severe asthma with predominant type 2 inflammation,and have been shown to be a good alternative to corticosteroids,especially in the management of severe asthma,which can improve the quality of life of many patients.In this article,we reviewed the pathogenesis and targeted biological agents for type 2 inflammatory severe asthma,and addressed the importance of further study on asthma pathogenesis and development of new biological agents,so as to provide reference for clinical rational drug use and future research.
