Abstract
Objective. To study the course of severe bronchial asthma and the effectiveness of genetically engineered biological drugs in the Yakut population.
Materials and methods. The study included 18 Yakut patients with severe bronchial asthma being treated in the Clinic of the North-Eastern Federal University. Genetically engineered biological therapy (anti-IL-5 Mepolizumab, anti-IL-5Rα Benralizumab, anti-IL-4Rα Dupiluma, and anti-IgE Omalizumab) was carried out taking into account asthma phenotypes and comorbidities. Observation was carried out in three different periods: at initiation time, after 6, and after 12 months. Spirometric methods, laboratory tests, and ACQ-5 were used. Statistical processing was performed using the Wilcoxon test (SPSS IBM Statistics).
Results. After 12 months of genetically engineered biological therapy, improved asthma control was observed: the ACQ-5 score decreased from 2.73 ± 0.66 to 0.48 ± 0.19 (p < 0.001). The mean blood eosinophil count decreased but stayed above 150 cells/µL. External respiratory function showed positive dynamics: FVC, FEV1, modified Tiffeneau index, and PEF are improved by 23.25, 25.05, 8.93, and 26.7%, respectively.
Conclusion. Genetically engineered biological therapy has demonstrated high effectiveness in improving control of severe bronchial asthma and reducing the need for anti-inflammatory therapy.
