Background: Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is characterized by blood and tissue hypereosinophilia causing organ damage and/or dysfunction. Mepolizumab, an anti-IL-5 antibody, has recently been approved in this indication. In lymphoid variant (L-)HES, eosinophil expansion is driven by IL-5-producing clonal CD3CD4 T cells.

Objective: It remains unclear whether baseline FENO levels can predict response to anti-IL5/5R biologic treatment in patients with severe asthma.
Methods: We recruited 104 patients with severe eosinophilic asthma treated with anti-IL5/anti-IL5R for at least one year who had measured FeNO values before the beginning of anti-eosinophilic treatment. Population was divided into subjects with FeNO < 25 and ≥25 ppb.

Anti-interleukin-5 (IL-5), anti-IL-5 receptor and anti-interleukin-4 (IL-4) have emerged as potential treatments for severe eosinophilic asthma, yet their role in treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is unclear. A literature review was conducted up to May 31, 2024. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the clinical efficacy and adverse effects of biological treatment (anti-IL-5/ anti-IL-5 receptor /anti-IL-4) in COPD patients were included in this meta-analysis.

Background: Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a disease resulting from an overactive type 2 response to . Initial studies suggest that asthma biologics can effectively treat ABPA, but it is unclear which biologic class is superior.
Objective: We sought to compare the effectiveness of asthma biologics in the treatment of ABPA.

Objective: Advancing the understanding of the pathophysiology of eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE) and other eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGIDs) has spurred research into targeted biological therapies, while the conclusive therapeutic efficacy of biologics remains uncertain. In this review, we conducted a meta-analysis of all RCTS of biologics in the treatment of EoE to evaluate their efficacy and safety and discussed their treatment of non-EoE EGIDs.
Methods: We searched the PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases.
