Background: Up to two thirds of patients with severe uncontrolled asthma (SUA) who received biological therapy do not have a complete response.
Research Question: Can bronchial biopsy (BB) play a role in the identification of patients with SUA who has a better response to biological therapy?
Study Design: AND METHODS: Prospective multicentre study. Consecutive SUA patients candidate to biological therapy underwent bronchoscopy and BB prior to biological therapy and clinical response was evaluated 6 months later.

Response to biologics in severe uncontrolled asthma (SUA) can be classified as super-responders, good responders, non-responders, and those achieving clinical remission. The aim of this study is to evaluate the long-term response to mepolizumab in patients with severe eosinophilic asthma and assesses the rate of asthma clinical remission over four years in a real-life setting. This is a single-center, observational, retrospective study was conducted at La Paz University Hospital (Madrid, Spain) from 2017 to 2022.
