Abstract
Background: Real-world responses to biologics were assessed by cigarette smoking exposure.
Methods: Clinical and functional data from 3,689 severe asthmatics in the ERS SHARP (Severe Heterogeneous Asthma Research-Patient Centred) registry were analyzed using the OMOP Common Data Model at baseline and after 1-year of treatment with biologics.
Results: Among 2,282 never smokers, 505 ex-smokers (<10 pack-years [py]), 766 (≥10 py), and 136 current smokers, respectively, symptom control (ACT≥20/ACQ≤1.5) improved (+220%, +215%, +200%), frequent exacerbations (>2/year) decreased (-67%, -65%, -61%), AQLQ improved (+18%, +23%, +118%), and FEV1 pre-BD (%pred) increased (+10%, +9%, +6%) with no significant differences vs. never smokers, except for AQLQ for which current smokers experienced greatest improvement (Table 1). Survey of physicians showed that 25% oppose prescription of biologics to current smokers and >50% were dissatisfied with current treatment guidelines.
Conclusion: Former/current smokers respond as well as never smokers to biologics, with AQLQ improving most in current smokers. Management disparities identified across Europe need for inclusive, evidence-based guidelines.
