Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin (TSLP): Evidence in Respiratory Epithelial-driven Diseases Including Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps.

Curr Allergy Asthma Rep

December 2024

Rhinology Unit and Smell Clinic, Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Hospital Clinic, FRCB- IDIBAPS, Universitat de Barcelona, CIBERES. Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.

Purpose Of The Review: Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is increasingly recognized for its pivotal role in the pathogenesis of various epithelial-driven chronic inflammatory diseases. This review navigates the existing evidence on TSLP, with a particular focus on asthma, before delving into the current understanding of its role in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). We explore the role of TSLP in the pathogenesis of asthma and CRSwNP, two conditions often interconnected and collectively referred to as"Global Airway Disease".

Purpose Of Review: We review updated key literature on comparative meta-analyses and real-world effectiveness of asthma biologics, with a focus on predictors of response and clinical remission while highlighting ongoing knowledge gaps. We aim to provide insight into the many factors to consider when choosing a biologic to treat uncontrolled moderate to severe asthma.

Recent Findings: Predictors of response included higher type 2 (T2) biomarkers, shorter duration of asthma, and presence of key T2-related comorbidities.

Article Synopsis
  • Targeted therapies using biologics for atopic diseases, urticaria, and angioedema are advancing quickly, with several new antibodies developed, tested, and approved for clinical use, like omalizumab and dupilumab.
  • There is ongoing research into combining different biologics for enhanced treatment efficacy, expanding their applications to conditions like food allergies and eosinophilic esophagitis.
  • There are emerging concerns about unexpected side effects and hypersensitivity reactions associated with these therapies, raising important questions about their safety and mechanisms, particularly in specific patient groups like children.

Efficacy of tezepelumab in patients with severe asthma and persistent airflow obstruction.

ERJ Open Res

November 2024

Respiratory and Immunology, BioPharmaceuticals Medical, AstraZeneca, Cambridge, UK.

Background: Persistent airflow obstruction (PAO) in patients with asthma can be difficult to treat. Tezepelumab blocks thymic stromal lymphopoietin, an epithelial cytokine implicated in asthma pathogenesis. This analysis evaluated the efficacy of tezepelumab in patients with severe, uncontrolled asthma and PAO.
