Résumé

Severe asthma is associated with airway inflammation and airway obstruction. In the phase 3 NAVIGATOR study, tezepelumab treatment significantly improved pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV NAVIGATOR was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Patients (12-80 years old) receiving medium- or high-dose inhaled corticosteroids and at least one additional controller medication, with or without oral corticosteroids, were randomized 1:1 to tezepelumab 210 mg or placebo subcutaneously every 4 weeks for 52 weeks. Changes from baseline to week 52 in pre-bronchodilator FEV Tezepelumab treatment improved all evaluated lung function parameters over 52 weeks compared with placebo [least-squares mean difference (95% confidence interval): pre-bronchodilator FEV These findings further support the benefits of tezepelumab treatment in improving airflow limitation in patients with severe, uncontrolled asthma. NAVIGATOR (NCT03347279).
