Heterogeneity of severe asthma: A major barrier to improved outcomes Severe asthma is now accepted to comprise different patients phenotypes and endotypes, with distinct pathogenic mechanisms A broad spectrum approach to therapy is problematic due to potential lack of efficacy and adverse effects Highly selected therapy

Type 2 Hi asthma Early-onset allergic (TH 2 ) asthma Ray et al. Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 2015; 308: L130-L140 Early childhood Associated with other atopic diseases Family history Mild to severe (progression?) Severity related to the number of IgE sensitivities Genes associated are epithelial genes rather than allergy genes Higher numbers of TH2 genes products associated with severity Biomarkers: FeNO, eosinophils, periostin, IgE?
Type 2 Hi asthma Late-onset persistent eosinophilic asthma Ray et al. Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 2015; 308: L130-L140 Late onset Severe from the onset No clinical allergy No family history Association with AERD Refractoriness to CS Biomarkers: IL-5; IL-13;FeNO; periostin, eosinophils (>2% IS, >220/µL blood)

Treatment Step 5: asthma phenotypes and monoclonal antibodies (GINA 2016) In patients with more severe asthma, some phenotypeguided treatments are available (p 14): Add-on omalizumab (anti-ige) treatment : for patients with (moderate* or) severe allergic asthma that is uncontrolled on Step 4 treatment (Evidence A) (p 47). Add-on mepolizumab (anti-interleukin-5 treatment) : for patients with severe eosinophilic asthma that is uncontrolled on Step 4 treatment (Evidence B) (p 47). * moderate : US label only, adapted from www.ginasthma.com
