In some patients with moderate-to-severe asthma, particularly those noneosinophilic inflammation, the disease remains uncontrolled. This trial evaluated efficacy and safety of tezepelumab (AMG 157/MEDI9929), a human monoclonal antibody specific for epithelial-cell–derived cytokine thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), in whose asthma remained uncontrolled despite treatment long-acting beta-agonists medium-to-high doses inhaled glucocorticoids.

Tezepelumab is a human monoclonal antibody that blocks thymic stromal lymphopoietin, an epithelial-cell–derived cytokine implicated in the pathogenesis of asthma. The efficacy and safety tezepelumab patients with severe, uncontrolled asthma require further assessment.

We discuss several aspects of homonuclear recoupling and longitudinal exchange using rotor-synchronized spin echo sequences in solid state magic-angle spinning (MAS) experiments. These include the accurate measurement weak dipole–dipole couplings between rare spins, behavior dipolar trajectories multiple environments, chemical shift correlation spectroscopy via polarization exchange. To describe accurately, we adopt an approach to simulation these experiments which includes finite pulses...

Abstract Background Patients with severe, uncontrolled asthma have a significant unmet need for new treatments that broader effects on airway inflammation, and provide greater improvements in outcomes than currently approved biologics standard-of-care therapies. Tezepelumab is human monoclonal antibody blocks the activity of epithelial cytokine thymic stromal lymphopoietin. In PATHWAY phase 2b study (NCT02054130), tezepelumab significantly reduced exacerbations by up to 71% adults asthma,...

Abstract Background Tezepelumab is a human monoclonal antibody that blocks activity of thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP). In the phase IIb PATHWAY study (NCT02054130), tezepelumab significantly reduced annualized asthma exacerbation rates (AAERs) versus placebo in adults with severe, uncontrolled asthma. We evaluated effects reducing type 2 (T2) inflammatory biomarker levels population, and relationship between baseline T2 AAER. Methods Adults ( n = 550) were randomized to (70 mg or 210...

Abstract Background Many patients with severe asthma continue to experience symptoms and exacerbations despite standard-of-care treatment. A substantial proportion of these require long-term treatment oral corticosteroids (OCS), often at high doses, which are associated considerable multiorgan adverse effects, including metabolic disorders, osteoporosis adrenal insufficiency. Tezepelumab is a human monoclonal antibody that blocks the activity epithelial cytokine thymic stromal lymphopoietin....
