Abstract

We described three severe asthmatics whose asthma symptoms were rapidly improved by benralizumab following favorable response to mepolizumab. Benralizumab-induced eosinophil depletion contributed to clinical improvement of severe asthma after mepolizumab-induced eosinophil reduction; thus, prior favorable responses to mepolizumab may predict benralizumab efficacy.
