Italian asthma study tracks new biologic in real life
NCT ID NCT06948396
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This observational study is collecting data from 315 patients in Italy who started treatment with tezepelumab for severe uncontrolled asthma. The goal is to describe their characteristics, medical history, and how their asthma exacerbation rates change over 12 to 24 months. It is not testing a new drug but gathering real-world information to better understand who benefits from this treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Tezepelumab
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could provide real-world evidence on how tezepelumab works in everyday patients, potentially improving treatment guidelines for severe asthma.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may be influenced by patient selection or other factors.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Adult and adolescent patients (age ≥12 years) at the Index Date (i.e., first administration of tezepelumab); 2. Patients with severe uncontrolled asthma (diagnosed according to clinician's judgment as per ERS-ATS or GINA guidelines) requiring a stable treatment of high doses of ICS and a long acting β2 agonist ± additional asthma controller; 3. Patients who received at least one injection of tezepelumab from February 2024 to March 2025 , according to Italian reimbursement indications; 4. Patients who signed the ICF and privacy form. 5. Patients with continuous enrolment in the data source for at least 12-months before the index date. 6. Patients with at least three months of continuous enrolment in the data source after the index date. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with hypersensitivity to the active ingredient or any of the excipients of Tezspire; 2. Patients who received any biologic drug for the treatment of asthma in a clinical trial at any time during the 12-months prior to the index date. 3. Patients who, during the observation period, participated in studies imposing a specific patient's management strategy, which does not correspond to the site's normal clinical practice.
