Safety

tezspire Had an adverse event profile similar to placebo1, 10

The safety profile of TEZSPIRE versus placebo was also demonstrated by:5,7

No increase risk of infection

No increase in blood eosinophils

No increase in anti-drug antibodies

The safety profile for TEZSPIRE was consistent across five randomised, placebo-controlled trials (N=1875)1,5,9,17,18

  • In DESTINATION, a long-term,placebo-controlled, safety study, TEZSPIRE was well tolerated for up to 2 years, with lower incidences of overall AEs and SAEs compared with placebo and consistent with PATHWAY, NAVIGATOR and CASCADE trials5,7,9

*In a pooled analysis of PATHWAY and NAVIGATOR, AAER was 0.84 for TEZSPIRE (n=379) vs 1.62 for placebo (n=382)
in patients with baseline blood eosinophils <300 cells/μL. All patients received SOC (MD or HD ICS + additional controller).22,24,25
†48% exacerbation reduction vs placebo was consistent across both the bEOS <150 cells/µL and bEOS <300 cells/µL subgroups.

Mechanism of action

In this mechanistic study (CASCADE), airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) to mannitol was an exploratory outcome.9
The clinical significance of this outcome and its impact on asthma have not been established.
*In the NAVIGATOR trial,5,6 patients treated with TEZSPIRE 210 mg every 4 weeks (Q4W) + SOC had least-squares (LS) mean reduction from baseline compared to placebo + SOC at week 52 in blood eosinophil counts (n=458 and n=451; -170 vs -40 cells/µL, respectively), fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) level (n=440 and n=426; -17.3 vs -3.5 ppb, respectively), and serum total IgE (n=482 and n=471; -164.4 vs +43.6 IU/mL, respectively). Results are descriptive only. In the CASCADE trial,9 the primary endpoint was the change from baseline to the end of treatment in the number of airway submucosal cells per mm2 in bronchoscopic biopsy samples. The reduction in airway submucosal eosinophils was 89% in patients treated with TEZSPIRE 210 mg Q4W + SOC (n=48) and 25% in patients treated with placebo + SOC (n=51); end of treatment to baseline geometric LS mean ratio was 0.11 vs 0.75, respectively.
‡ In CASCADE,9 AHR to mannitol was reduced in patients treated with TEZSPIRE 210 mg Q4W + SOC and placebo + SOC. There was a numerically greater reduction in AHR to mannitol in patients who received TEZSPIRE compared with those who received placebo, both in terms of absolute PD15 and in doubling doses. The clinical significance of this outcome and its impact on asthma have not been established.
