Summary

This study looks for proteins in blood, saliva, and sputum that can show organ damage and predict how well patients with EGPA (a rare inflammatory disease) or severe asthma respond to the drug mepolizumab. Researchers will analyze samples from 90 participants before and after starting treatment. The goal is to find simpler, less invasive ways to monitor disease and tailor therapy.
