    Abstract Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has a 3-year mortality rate up to 37%, 2-6 times higher than the general population. We present evidence supporting pharmacological therapies to improve patient life expectancy, focusing on inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) combined with long-acting bronchodilators (LABDs). A reduction in 3-year all-cause mortality (ACM) has been shown in patients with severe COPD treated with fluticasone propionate (an ICS) and salmeterol [long-acting beta-agonist (LABA)], compared with placebo. An observational study of elderly patients with severe COPD and multiple comorbidities suggested ICS+LABD reduce ACM compared with LABD monotherapy. Patients with symptomatic COPD at risk of exacerbations saw a mortality benefit with the ICS/long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA)/LABA combinations fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol (FF/UMEC/VI) or budesonide/glycopyrrolate/formoterol (BUD/GLY/FOR)

    Abstract Smoking habit is still fairly common among asthmatics. So far, the impact of smoke on severe asthma burden has not been specifically investigated. We aimed to estimate the frequency of smoking habit among severe asthma patients, their clinical features, and the impact of smoke on asthma outcomes. The Severe Asthma Network in Italy (SANI) registry was analyzed. Demographic, clinical, and functional features of smokers, never and former smokers were compared. Data from 1194 patients were explored. Smokers were younger, with a lower asthma onset age. Atopy, BMI and respiratory/systemic comorbidities were equally distributed. In former smokers pre- and post-FEV1/FVC was significantly lower; no other significant differences were detected. Similar findings were confirmed when stratifying the former smokers by pack-years and length of smoking cessation. Among former smokers, lymphocytes and neutrophils were higher in the <15 years of smoking cessation group. Blood eosinophils were comparable in never and former smokers. When clustering the population by blood eosinophils, no significant differences in pulmonary function and exacerbations were observed. Our data suggest that a personal smoking history has a relatively low impact on disease burden. It remarks the importance of smoking cessation as a main intervention, particularly in severe asthma.

    Abstract The article traces the concept of asthma control within GINA guidelines over the past 25 years. In the first 15 years after 1995, the main objective of asthma management was to obtain the control of all clinical and functional characteristics of asthma. A landmark study (GOAL) showed for the first time that a good control of asthma is a reasonable outcome that can be achieved in a large proportion of asthmatics with a regular appropriate treatment. In the following years, more emphasis was placed on the role of exacerbations as critical manifestations of poor asthma control, whose frequency is associated with excessive FEV1 decline and increased risk of death. Accordingly, the 2014 GINA report makes a clear distinction between the control of the day-by-day symptoms and the reduction in the risk of severe exacerbations, stating that both conditions should be obtained. The 2019 update included a significant change in the management of mild asthma, prioritizing the prevention of exacerbations to that of mild symptoms. This view was repeated in the 2021 update, where the prevention of exacerbations, together with an acceptable symptom control with a minimal use of rescue medication, appeared to be the real main goal of asthma management. While a discrepancy between current symptoms and exacerbations may be present in mild asthma, a significant relationship between these two features is observed in moderate-severe asthma: a persistent poor symptom control is a major risk factor for exacerbations, whereas achieving symptom control through regular treatment is associated with a reduction in exacerbation rate. Thus, the opinion that frequent symptoms are not important in the absence of acute exacerbations should be discouraged, whereas education of patients to a good symptom perception and to improve adherence to regular treatment should be implemented. Furthermore, the persistence of risk factors, such as increased airway inflammation, even in a patient with minor daily symptoms, should be considered for optimizing treatment.

    Abstract International asthma guidelines have recently focused on the concept of <<control>>, which is the main outcome to reach and maintain in the long term management. Asthma control is associated with several positive consequences, both in terms of quality of life and pathophysiological findings. Combination therapy with inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and long-acting-beta2-agonists (LABA) is recommended in a large part of asthmatic subjects (those who are not controlled with low-dose ICS alone).Recently, a new beclomethasone/formoterol combination in an extrafine HFA formulation has been developed. This new technology allows to obtain a very high fine particle fraction which reaches lower airways, while the dose which remain in the upper airways and possibly responsible for systemic side effects is very low. Therefore, this combination allows a different dose ratio between BDP and the other ICS (budesonide, fluticasone), in favour of a lower dose of BDP. Recent studies have demonstrated the equivalence of this new combination with the other ICS/LABA combination, as regards all asthma outcomes. Then, this new BDP/formoterol combination may increase the possibility to manage adequately patients with moderate-to-severe asthma.

    Abstract Introduction: Dupilumab is a human monoclonal antibody that targets both IL-4 and IL-13 signaling. It is currently indicated for the treatment of asthma, moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Eosinophilia has been reported as a potential adverse event in treated patients.
    Areas covered: A selective search on PubMed and Medline up to January 2022 was performed, by focusing on dupilumab-induced hypereosinophilia described in clinical trials, real-life studies, and case reports. The possible mechanisms underlying dupilumab-induced hypereosinophilia and the eosinophil-related morbidity have also been explored.
    Expert opinion: Dealing with dupilumab-induced hypereosinophilia represents a clinical challenge for clinicians managing patients on dupilumab therapy. An algorithm for the practical management of dupilumab-induced hypereosinophilia has been proposed, in order to properly investigate potential eosinophil-related morbidity and avoid unnecessary drug discontinuation.
