What this trial studies

This prospective, real-world, single-arm study aims to assess the effectiveness of mepolizumab (NUCALA) in achieving clinical remission in adults with severe asthma characterized by an eosinophilic phenotype. Participants will be treated with mepolizumab and monitored for asthma exacerbations and lung function improvements. The study will take place across multiple global sites, focusing on patients who have not used mepolizumab in the past six months and meet specific lung function criteria.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults with a confirmed diagnosis of severe asthma and an eosinophilic phenotype who have been prescribed NUCALA.

Not a fit: Patients currently on maintenance oral corticosteroids or other biologic treatments may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved management and remission of severe asthma for patients, reducing the need for oral corticosteroids.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown positive outcomes with mepolizumab in similar patient populations, indicating a promising approach.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

* Participant has a confirmed asthma diagnosis and has been prescribed NUCALA by their physician for the treatment of asthma, as per local label. NUCALA can be initiated up to 7 days prior to study enrollment.

* Participants with greater than or equal to (≥)60 percentage (%) predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and less than or equal to (≤)4 exacerbations per year, as confirmed by the physician.
* Other local prescription criteria of NUCALA not described above at NUCALA initiation (e.g., local reimbursement criteria).
* Written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

* Investigator concerns about participant's willingness to adhere to biologic treatment for any reason (e.g., cost, behavior, difficulty with access to healthcare)
* Participants currently on maintenance OCS or intramuscular corticosteroids.
* Participants using omalizumab, reslizumab, dupilumab, tezepelumab, or benralizumab within the 6 months prior to enrollment
* Participants participating in an interventional study with a treatment intervention
