Asthma drug benralizumab put to the test in everyday life
NCT ID NCT05603845
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how well benralizumab (Fasenra) works for people with severe eosinophilic asthma in real-world clinics across the Gulf, Latin America, and India. Researchers tracked 291 patients to see if their asthma control improved over time using a standard questionnaire. The goal was to provide practical evidence on how the drug performs outside of strict clinical trials.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- benralizumab (Fasenra)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that benralizumab helps patients with severe eosinophilic asthma achieve better day-to-day control of their symptoms.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be influenced by other factors. It does not test a new treatment, only how an existing one works in routine care.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study will recruit 410 adult patients with confirmed severe eosinophilic asthma who meet all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria in 9 countries as described above. Approximately 6-8 hospitals per country will participate in the study which have previous experience with biologic treatment, can initiate treatment with benralizumab, and have a good oversight on the severe asthma population.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male or female patients aged 18 years or older with a physician's confirmed diagnosis of severe eosinophilic, uncontrolled asthma. 2. Severe uncontrolled eosinophilic asthma requiring high-dose\* inhaled corticosteroid plus long-acting β adrenoceptor agonist as maintenance treatment. 3. Patients who have been prescribed but not yet initiated treatment with benralizumab (Fasenra®) according to local approved prescribing information prior to signed informed consent. 4. Provision of the signed written informed consent form (ICF) indicating that they understand the purpose of the study and procedures required for participation. 5. Patients must be able and willing to read and comprehend written instructions and complete the paper PRO questionnaires required by the protocol. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Clinically important pulmonary diseases other than asthma including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (as the main diagnosis), bronchiectasis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, alpha-1-antitrypsin-deficiency, and malignancy of any kind (NB: the following conditions are permitted: nasal polyposis, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, non-idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis). 2. Currently enrolled in an interventional clinical study except patients being in parallel documented in a national asthma registry 3. An acute or chronic condition that, in the investigator's opinion, would limit the patients' ability to complete questionnaires or participate in this study or impact the interpretations of results. 4. Concurrent biologics for asthma are not allowed. Acceptable wash-out periods for other asthma biologics: ≥30 days from the last dose of the previous biologic. 5. Women who are currently pregnant, breastfeeding, or lactating
