INTRODUCTION Asthma Allergic airway inflammation,Th2-weighted process Biomarkers Phenotypic distinctions Development of personalized medicine Predict responses to therapy IgE IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 from Th2-type CD4+ cells IgE class Levels of cytokines are low & cannot be measured IgE, not been predictive of response to anti-IgE therapy
INTRODUCTION Three biomarkers Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) From IL-13 Clinical use by American Thoracic Society (ATS) Peripheral blood eosinophils Distinct phenotype (eosinophilic asthma) Serum periostin From airway epithelial cells in response to IL-13
INTRODUCTION Omalizumab (Xolair) Recombinant humanizedmonoclonal antibody that selectively binds to free IgE Moderate-to-severe persistent allergic asthma (IgE-mediated), inadequately controlled with inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) EXTRA study Potential of 3 biomarkers to predictors Therapeutic benefit of omalizumab
Method HighLow FeNO ≥19.5 ppb<19.5 Peripheral blood eosinophil count ≥260/ul<260/ul Serum periostin levels ≥50ng/ml<50ng/ml 12–75 years of age & history of severe persistent allergic asthma for more than 1 year Randomized to omalizumab or placebo for 48wks (+ high-dose ICS and LABA, with or without controller medications) Cut off
Method Treatment effect 48-week treatment period Exacerbations: Requiring systemic corticosteroids for >3 d or increase of >20 mg in the average daily OCS dose Secondary efficacy endpoints Asthma symptom score Albuterol use Asthma quality of life questionnaire (AQLQ) % predicted FEV1
Results
Evaluation of patterns of treatment effect for varying levels of each biomarker Time to first protocol-defined exacerbation
Results Evaluation of secondary endpoints.
Results Safety Treatment-emergent AEs was similar in the biomarker-low and biomarker-high subgroups
Conclusion Overall population of premenopausal women The difference in exacerbation frequency between omalizumab and placebo was greatest in the three high-biomarker subgroups, probably associated with the greater risk for exacerbations in high subgroups. Additional studies are required to explore the value of these biomarkers in clinical practice.
