Study design details

Study design

Observational longitudinal study

Main study objective

• To describe the frequencies of late failure and the type and extent of domain failure attributed to remission failures
• To identify pre- and post-treatment characteristics associated with late failures
• To describe persistence of late failures and the potential role of switching biologic agent in regaining remission after late failure

Setting

The study population will be extracted from the International Severe Asthma Registry database (data collected between 2017 and 2025). Eligibility criteria include having initiated biologic therapy, being adult at initiation, and having follow-up data for at least 2 years after initiation.

Comparators

Patient demographic and clinical characteristics measured pre-initiation of biologic treatment and after 12 months of follow-up.

Outcomes

The outcome of interest will be late failure, considered the first failure to meet three-domain remission definition (No exacerbations, no long-term oral corticosteroid use, partly or well-controlled asthma) recorded at a follow up occurring at least 24 months following biologic initiation.
