About this trial
An open-label study will evaluate effects of Benralizumab in the treatment of severe asthma in patients with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
None
Disqualifiers
Clinical important pulmonary disease other than asthma with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ie. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, sarcoid, and pulmonary fibrosis) History of anaphylaxis to any biologic therapy Known history of allergy or hypersensitivity reaction to benralizumab or any of its components Current smokers or former smokers with a smoking history of > 10 pack years. A former smoker is defined as a patient who quit smoking at least 6 months prior to Visit 1.
Trial population
Female and Male patients aged 18-75 years inclusively at the time of Visit 1 with a physician diagnosis of Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis has met the ISHAM Working Group Diagnostic Criteria for ABPA Severe chronic asthma (for at least 12 months) requiring treatment with high dose ICS plus asthma controller prior to Visit 1 History of at least 2 asthma exacerbations while on ICS plus another asthma controller (see inclusion criterion 2 for examples) that required treatment with systemic corticosteroids (IM, IV, or oral) in the 12 months prior to Visit 1. For patients receiving oral corticosteroids as a maintenance therapy, an exacerbation is defined as a temporary increase of their maintenance dose for a minimum of 3 days. Weight \> 40kg

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Number of steroid requiring exacerbations
Number of asthma exacerbations requiring the initiation of (or temporary increase in) systemic corticosteroids in severe asthma complicated by ABPA
Secondary outcomes
Patient-Reported Quality of Life as assessed by Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire
The change from baseline score in Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire. The Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) total score ranges from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate a worse outcome (greater health impairment/poorer quality of life)
Asthma Control as assessed by Asthma Control Questionnaire 6
The change from baseline score in Asthma Control Questionnaire 6. ACQ-6 scores range from 0 to 6, where higher scores represent poorer asthma control. A score ≤0.75 indicates well-controlled asthma, while a score ≥1.5 indicates uncontrolled asthma.
Lung Function (FEV1)
The FEV1 change from baseline to End of Treatment
