    Abstract Background: Dupilumab is an anti-IL4R monoclonal antibody (mAb) with proven efficacy in severe eosinophilic asthma (SEA). A suboptimal response to anti-IL5/5R mAbs is seen in some patients with ongoing evidence of T2 inflammation.
    Objective: To understand whether targeting IL-13 pathways with dupilumab in these patients may lead to better clinical outcomes.
    Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of the extended clinical effectiveness of dupilumab up to 2 years of treatment in patients with SEA who had not responded adequately to anti-IL5/5R biologics. Ability to achieve clinical remission and change in the remission domains of exacerbation rate (AER), maintenance oral corticosteroid dose (mOCS), lung function (FEV1) and asthma control (ACQ6) were recorded.
    Results: Thirty-seven patients (mean age 41, 70% female) were included in the analysis. The mean (SD) AER fell by almost 90% from 3.16(1.28) at dupilumab initiation to 0.35(0.72) after 1 year. The median (IQR) mOCS dose (n=20) fell from 10(5-25) mg to 0 (0-5) mg at 1 year, with 14/20 (70%) able to stop prednisolone altogether. Clinical remission was achieved in 16/37 (43%). Patients who achieved remission had a higher pre-IL5/5R FeNO level (85ppb [39-198] vs 75ppb [42-96], p=0.03).
    Conclusion: Significant improvements in clinical outcomes are possible following a switch to dupilumab in patients experiencing a suboptimal response to anti-IL5/5R therapies. A higher FeNO in poor responders to anti-IL5/5R who achieve remission with dupilumab is suggestive of an IL-13 driven sub-phenotype of T2-high asthma in which the eosinophil appears unlikely to play a key role in the disease pathogenesis.

    Abstract Background: OSA and nocturnal hypoxemia (NH) are common in patients with fibrotic interstitial lung disease (F-ILD), but their relationship with disease outcomes remains unclear.
    Research question: What is the relationship between NH and OSA and clinical outcomes in patients with F-ILD?
    Study design and methods: This was a prospective observational cohort study of patients with F-ILD and without daytime hypoxemia. Patients underwent home sleep study at baseline and were followed up for at least 1 year or until death. NH was defined as ≥ 10% of sleep with oxygen saturation of < 90%. OSA was defined as an apnea-hypopnea index of ≥ 15 events/h.
    Results: Among 102 participants (male, 74.5%; age, 73.0 ± 8.7 years; FVC, 2.74 ± 0.78 L; 91.1% idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis), 20 patients (19.6%) demonstrated prolonged NH and 32 patients (31.4%) showed OSA. No significant differences were found between those with and without NH or OSA at baseline. Despite this, NH was associated with a more rapid decline in both quality of life as measured by the King's Brief Interstitial Lung Disease questionnaire (change, -11.3 ± 5.3 points in the NH group vs -6.7 ± 6.5 in those without NH; P = .005) and higher all-cause mortality at 1 year (hazard ratio, 8.21; 95% CI, 2.40-28.1; P < .001). No statistically significant difference was seen between the groups in annualized change in measures of pulmonary function testing.
    Interpretation: Prolonged NH, but not OSA, is associated with worsening disease-related quality of life and increased mortality in patients with F-ILD.

    Abstract SARS-CoV-2 infection is a multisystem disease with post-discharge sequelae. We report early follow-up data from one UK hospital of the initial 200 hospital inpatients with slow recovery from the condition. At 4 weeks post-discharge, 321/957 survivors (34%) had persistent symptoms. A structured outpatient clinical assessment protocol was designed, and outcomes from the first 200 patients seen 4-6 weeks post-discharge are presented here. In 80/200 (40%), we identified at follow-up a cardiorespiratory cause of breathlessness, including persistent parenchymal abnormality (64 patients), pulmonary embolism (four patients) and cardiac complications (eight patients). These findings occurred both in patients who had intensive care unit (ICU) admissions and those who had been managed on the ward, although patients requiring ICU admissions were more likely to have a significant cardiorespiratory cause found for their breathlessness, risk ratio 2.8 (95% CI 1.5 to 5.1).

    Abstract Background: Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a multisystemic disease characterized by eosinophilic tissue inflammation. Benralizumab, an anti-IL-5 receptor (anti-IL-5R) monoclonal antibody, induces rapid depletion of eosinophils; its longer-term effect in EGPA is unknown.
    Objective: To assess the real-world effectiveness and clinical remission rates of anti-IL-5R therapy in EGPA.
    Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort analysis of patients with EGPA, who commenced treatment with benralizumab. Clinical remission, assessed at 1 year and 2 years after the initiation of benralizumab, was defined as an absence of active vasculitis (Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score of 0) and an oral corticosteroid (OCS) dose of ≤4 mg/d of prednisolone. "Super-responders" were defined as patients in remission and free of any significant relapses (asthma or extrapulmonary) over the preceding 12 months. The corticosteroid-sparing capacity of benralizumab, patient-reported outcome measures, and characteristics associated with clinical remission and super-responder status were also analyzed.
    Results: A total of 70 patients completed at least 1 year of treatment with benralizumab, of whom 53 completed 2 years. Of 70 patients, 47 (67.1%) met the definition for clinical remission at 1 year, with a similar proportion in remission at 2 years. Excluding asthma-related relapses, 61 of 70 (87.1%) patients were relapse free at 1 year, and of the 53 who completed 2 years, 45 (84.9%) were relapse free. A total of 67.9% of patients no longer needed any OCS for disease control. No significant difference was seen between antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-positive and ANCA-negative subgroups.
    Conclusions: In this real-world setting of patients with EGPA, treatment with benralizumab was well tolerated and resulted in corticosteroid-free clinical remission for the majority of patients.
