New study to see if tezepelumab tames severe asthma in daily life

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: be eligible for enrolment into this study if all of the following criteria are met: 1. Male or female participants aged 12 years or older at the time of signing the ICF or assent. 2. Prescribed and initiated treatment with tezepelumab according to SmPC and local market reimbursement criteria. A period between treatment initiation and enrolment should be no more than 4 weeks. 3. Diagnosis of asthma established for at least 52 weeks prior to tezepelumab initiation and symptoms confirmed by the Investigator not to be due to alternative diagnoses. 4. Received at least one prescription of medium or high doses of ICS during the 52 weeks prior to tezepelumab initiation, with medium or high doses of ICS defined according to the GINA 2022 (see below Note #1). 5. Use of additional asthma maintenance controller medication(s) in addition to ICS (e.g., LABA, leukotriene receptor inhibitors, theophylline, LAMA, and cromones) for at least 52 weeks prior to tezepelumab initiation. The additional maintenance controller medication may be contained in a combination product (e.g., ICS/LABA). 6. Documented history of at least 2 severe asthma exacerbations during the 52 weeks prior to tezepelumab initiation. For participants receiving prior biologic drugs for ≥ 8 months, at least 1 severe exacerbation must have occurred on prior biologic treatment. Participants are excluded if, in the opinion of the Investigator, prior biologic treatment had provided significant clinical benefit in the past 52 weeks, despite the participant experiencing ≥ 2 severe exacerbations during 52 weeks prior to tezepelumab initiation. 7. Individuals with ACQ-5 score ≥ 1.5 (indicating inadequate asthma symptom control) at enrolment or up to 12 weeks before enrolment. 8. Currently receive care from specialist physicians (e.g., pulmonologists and/or allergists) at the Investigator's or sub-Investigator's site. 9. Provision of signed and dated written informed consent, including assent (informed consent for participants under 18 years old). 10. Participants are able to read, understand and complete the questionnaires required by the protocol. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Any contraindication to tezepelumab as per the approved product SmPC in Russia or in the opinion of the Investigator. 2. Administration of concurrent biologic drug for asthma since the index date, except for stable allergen immunotherapy (defined as a stable dose and regimen at the time of enrolment). Enrolment of patients who were switched from other biologic(s) to tezepelumab is allowed, and an acceptable timeframe since the last prior asthma biologic drug is ≥ 30 days. The number of participants with prior biologic treatment (switching to tezepelumab) should be targeted at 20% or less. 3. Participation in an observational study that might, in the Investigator's opinion, influence the assessment for the current study, or participation in an interventional clinical trial in the last 3 months. 4. Pregnancy or lactation period.
