Disease Modification in Asthma: Are We on the Right Way? A Multidisciplinary Expert Delphi Consensus (MODIASTHMA Consensus).

Purpose: With the advent of biological therapies, emerging concepts regarding establishing new targets in asthma management, such as disease modification, have entered the debate among the scientific community. The definitions that form the conceptual basis of this goal need to be agreed upon.

Methods: A multidisciplinary expert group was assembled as the steering committee.

Positioning of Tezepelumab in Severe Asthma.

Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases and is estimated to be severe in 3%-10% of affected patients. There is a need for additional biologic treatments that are highly efficacious across the spectrum of severe uncontrolled asthma. Currently available drugs inhibit 1 or 2 specific cytokines or IgE antibodies and thus only partially suppress the complex type 2 (T2) inflammatory cascade.
