    Abstract Purpose of review: The present review aims to systematically assess published data to elucidate benralizumab efficacy on nasal outcomes in comorbid patients.
    Recent findings: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a heterogeneous inflammatory disease of the nasal cavity often associated with severe asthma (SA), contributing to a global disease burden in asthmatics. The two pathologies share common underlying mechanisms (e.g., type-2 inflammation), which sustain symptoms and poor comorbid patient quality of life. Therefore, it is of primary importance to identify the correct therapeutic option in order to achieve the optimal management of patients affected by both pathologies. Benralizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody directed at the α subunit of the interleukin-5 receptor (IL-5Rα) approved for the treatment of severe eosinophilic asthma. Increasing body of literature provides data on its efficacy also on CRSwNP in the comorbid SA patient. Based on the data described in this review, when benralizumab is administered to comorbid patients, it does not only control severe asthma but also improves CRSwNP clinical outcomes, although we need further studies to add stronger evidence and to improve the correct pheno-endotyping of the comorbid patient.

    Abstract The early administration of anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies (mAb) could decrease the risk of severe disease and the need of inpatients care. Herein, our clinical experience with Bamlanivimab/Etesevimab for the treatment of early SARS-CoV-2 infection through an outpatient service was described. Patients with confirmed COVID-19 were selected by General Practitioners (GPs) if eligible to mAb administration, according to manufacturer and AIFA (Agenzia-Italiana-del-Farmaco) criteria. If suitability was confirmed by the Multidisciplinary Team, the patient was evaluated within the next 48-72 hours. Then, all patients underwent a medical evaluation, followed by mAb infusion or hospitalization if the medical condition had worsened. Overall, from March 29th to June 4th, 2021, 106 patients with confirmed COVID-19 were identified by GPs; 26 were considered not eligible and then excluded, while 9 refused treatment. Among the 71 remaining, 6 were not treated because of worsening of symptoms soon after selection. Finally, 65 received mAb therapy. All treated patients survived. However, 2/65 developed adverse events (allergic reaction and atrial fibrillation, respectively) and 6/65 needed hospitalization. By performing univariate logistic regression analysis, diabetes was the only risk factor for hospitalization after mAb administration [aOR = 9.34, 95%CI = 1.31-66.49,

    Abstract Background: Dupilumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the IL4/IL13 signaling pathway, already used for atopic dermatitis and chronic rhinitis with nasal polyps, recently approved for severe type-2 asthma. Its efficacy has been demonstrated in randomized control trials. The aim of our study is to evaluate possible early clinical improvement and type 2 biomarkers modifications in severe asthmatic patients treated with dupilumab in a real-life setting.
    Methods: We included 12 patients with severe, uncontrolled asthma and dupilumab was chosen if there was at least one evidence of blood eosinophils> 150 cells/ml and/or FeNO>25 ppb during last year. Recent blood eosinophil count report, assessment through ACT, FeNO test and spirometry were performed at baseline and after 3 months of treatment. We calculated also the number of patients achieving a minimal, yet clinically relevant difference in FEV
    Results: After three months of treatment with dupilumab, ACT had a significant improvement (mean ACT pre 13.25±4.65
    Conclusions: In RCTs performed during clinical development program dupilumab showed an early efficacy in increasing FEV

    Abstract Bone plays an important role in regulating mineral balance in response to physiologic needs. In addition, bone is subject to a continuous remodeling process to maintain healthy bone mass and growth. Metabolic bone diseases are a heterogeneous group of diseases caused by abnormalities of bone mass, mineral structure homeostasis, bone turnover, or bone growth. In pediatrics, several significant advances have been made in recent years in the diagnosis of metabolic bone diseases (e.g., osteogenesis imperfecta, hyperparathyroidism, rickets, renal osteodystrophy, pediatric osteoporosis, and osteopetrosis). Imaging is fundamental in the diagnosis of these pathologies.

    Abstract Objective: It is unclear whether Benralizumab effectiveness in severe eosinophilic asthma can be influenced by nasal polyposis (NP) or allergic status associations. We evaluated whether Benralizumab long-term efficacy in asthma outcomes could be different in subjects with atopy (SAEA) compared to the effectiveness in those without allergies (SNAEA) and in individuals with NP compared to those without NP.
    Methods: This observational retrospective study considered 95 consecutive patients divided into allergic (SAEA; n:65[68.4%]; skin prick tests positive [SPT] and/or IgE values ≥100 UI/mL), and non-allergic (SNAEA; n:30[31.6%], SPT negative and normal IgE levels<100 UI/mL). Overall population was also divided into two groups according to NP presence (NP+:39[41%] and NP-:56[59%]). Benralizumab treatment mean was19.7±7.2 months (range 12-35).
    Results: No differences in Benralizumab effectiveness were found in asthma outcomes in patients with/without NP. SNOT-22 improvement was higher in NP+ (-22±24) compared to NP- groups (6.33±15.5;p=0.055). FEV1 (16.33±19.22%), ACT(7.45±3.95) increases and frequency of SABA use (3.37±4.99) reduction were higher in SAEA compared to what obtained in non-allergic subjects (FEV1:8.15±15.6%,p=0.043; ACT:4.89±3.57,p=0.005; SABA use:-1.16±1.84;p=0.015). 93.8% of SAEA patients whereas only 72.2% of SNAEA individuals reduced OC doses at least half after Benralizumab (p=0.035). These results were partially confirmed by linear regression models showing associations between allergic status and FEV1, ACT and SABA use changes (β=8.37;p=0.048, β=2.056;p=0.033 and β=-2.184;p=0.042 respectively).
    Conclusion: Benralizumab effectiveness in asthma appears to be independent of NP presence. The allergic eosinophilic disease, compared to just eosinophilic asthma, may be a more severe phenotype. Benralizumab may have greater efficacy in SAEA on some outcomes.

    Abstract Background. Severe asthma and bronchiectasis are heterogeneous diseases that frequently coexist. The location of bronchiectasis is generally determined by specific underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. The aim of this study was to determine whether in a population suffering from both severe asthma and bronchiectasis there was a correlation between eosinophilic inflammation and localization of bronchiectasis. Methods. We enrolled 41 patients with coexisting bronchiectasis from eight different severe asthma center outpatient clinics and collected the following data: baseline characteristics, Asthma Control Test, Asthma Control Questionnaire, IgE level, blood count, high-resolution computed tomography and bronchiectasis-related parameters, skin prick test, FeNO50 and flow-volume spirometry. The study was retrospectively registered. Results. The presence of eosinophils > 1000 cells/μL was related to distribution of lower pulmonary bronchiectasis (9.1% upper lobes vs. 53.3% lower lobes, p = 0.014). Indeed, the presence of eosinophilic counts > 1000 increased the probability of lower localization of bronchiectasis compared to upper lobes (ODD 0.088 (0.010−0.772), p = 0.028). Conclusions. An increase in blood eosinophils > 1000 cells/μL seems to be associated with lower preferential localization of bronchiectasis with sparing of the upper lung lobes. This could represent a new potential radiological phenotype that could have a dedicated therapeutic strategy in the future.

    Abstract Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) syndrome, the most frequent sleep-disordered breathing, is a comorbidity of asthma, whose prevalence covers about 49.5% of asthmatic adult patients. A 61-year-old female patient, affected by severe allergic asthma and obesity, started treatment with omalizumab and underwent polysomnography showing a severe OSA pattern (apnoea/hypopnoea index (AHI): 72.7). After six months, she showed functional improvement and good asthma symptoms control and underwent a new polygraphy for the persistence of the night symptoms which showed an ameliorated, despite still severe, OSA pattern (AHI: 31.9). The patient obtained complete polygraphic normalization after adequate positive airway pressure (PAP) titration. While bronchodilator efficacy in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)/OSA overlap syndrome has been proven in raising nocturnal oxygen saturation, there is no such evidence about biological therapy in patients affected by severe asthma and OSA. This is the first documented case report that demonstrates a possible role of omalizumab in improving the OSA pattern in a patient affected by severe asthma and OSA.
