Genetically engineered biological therapy (GEBT) of bronchial asthma (BA) is a modern method of treating severe forms of the disease that are uncontrolled by traditional pharmacotherapeutic approaches. Currently, six monoclonal antibody drugs for the treatment of severe bronchial asthma (anti-IgE – omalizumab), interleukin (IL)-5 antagonists (anti-IL-5 – mepolizumab, reslizumab) and its receptor (anti-IL-5Rα – benralizumab), as well as antibodies that selectively bind to the IL-4 and IL-13 receptor (anti-IL-4/13Rα - dupilumab) and tezepelumab, promoting the inhibition of thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) are registered in Russia.
A special group consists of patients with the eosinophilic phenotype of BA, characterized by a severe uncontrolled course and resistance to standard treatment regimens in accordance with the basic step therapy of the disease.
The article presents a clinical case of the effectiveness of GEBT using benralizumab as an example in a patient with severe uncontrolled bronchial asthma (eosinophilic phenotype).
