Little is known on the persistence of asthma biologic use in clinical practice.
To evaluate the persistence of asthma biologic use and time to clinical response in clinical practice.
A cohort of people with asthma who used at least 1 asthma biologic was constructed using data from 2003 to 2019 in the OptumLabs Data Warehouse. Treatment persistence was defined by the length of time that a person continuously used an asthma biologic, allowing for a lapse in use up to 4 months before confirming that a person stopped. Clinical response to treatment (defined as a decline in asthma exacerbations of at least 50% compared with the 6 months before starting an asthma biologic) was described over time and in relation to biologic persistence.
There were 9575 people who had at least 1 episode of asthma biologic use. There were 5319 people (64%, 95% confidence interval, 63%-65%) who completed 6 months or more on an asthma biologic and 3284 (45%, 95% confidence interval, 44%-46%) who completed 12 months or more. Of people with 1 or more asthma exacerbation 6 months before index biologic use, 63%, 76%, 80%, and 81% realized a 50% or more reduction in postindex asthma exacerbations in the first 6 months, 6 to 12 months, 12 to 18 months, and 18 to 24 months, respectively.
Between 48% and 64% of people remained on an asthma biologic for 6 months or more after first use. Most people who achieved a reduction in asthma exacerbations did so in the first 6 months of treatment.
关于哮喘生物制剂在临床实践中的持续使用情况知之甚少。
评估哮喘生物制剂在临床实践中的持续使用情况和临床反应时间。
使用 2003 年至 2019 年 OptumLabs 数据仓库中的数据构建了一个使用至少 1 种哮喘生物制剂的哮喘患者队列。治疗持续性定义为一个人连续使用哮喘生物制剂的时间长度,允许在确认一个人停止使用之前有长达 4 个月的停药期。描述了随着时间的推移和与生物制剂持续使用相关的治疗临床反应(定义为与开始使用哮喘生物制剂前 6 个月相比,哮喘恶化至少下降 50%)。
共有 9575 人至少有 1 次哮喘生物制剂使用。有 5319 人(64%,95%置信区间,63%-65%)完成了 6 个月或更长时间的哮喘生物制剂治疗,3284 人(45%,95%置信区间,44%-46%)完成了 12 个月或更长时间的治疗。在索引生物制剂使用前 6 个月有 1 次或多次哮喘加重的患者中,分别有 63%、76%、80%和 81%在使用索引生物制剂后的前 6 个月、6 至 12 个月、12 至 18 个月和 18 至 24 个月内实现了哮喘恶化减少 50%或更多。
首次使用后,有 48%至 64%的人继续使用哮喘生物制剂 6 个月或更长时间。大多数实现哮喘恶化减少的患者是在治疗的前 6 个月内实现的。
