Tezepelumab (Tezspire®) : new biological treatment of severe asthma

Here we present pharmacological and clinical properties of a new biological targeting TSLP (Thymic Stromal LymphoPoietin). Tezspire® is the name of this targeted treatment which contains 210 mg tezepelumab administered subcutaneously once a month. As compared to placebo, tezepelumab reduced exacerbations whatever the baseline blood eosinophil counts, exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) level and atopic status. The response was higher in patients exhibiting the highest levels of blood eosinophils and FeNO. Tezepelumab also improved pre- bronchodilatation forced expiratory volume in one second, symptomatic control of asthma and quality of life. Tezepelumab proved a broad anti-inflammatory effect by blocking IL-4, IL-13 and IL-5 pathways, inducing a significant reduction in serum total IgE levels, FeNO, blood and sub-mucosal eosinophils, without affecting neutrophil level. Tezepelumab also reduced bronchial hyperresponsiveness and mucus plugs.
