The IL-5 receptor is expressed on the surface of eosinophils and basophils. In an <content styleCode="italics">in vitro</content> setting, the absence of fucose in the Fc domain of benralizumab facilitates binding (45.5 nM) to FcɣRIII receptors on immune effector cells, such as natural killer (NK) cells, leading to apoptosis of eosinophils and basophils through antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC).</paragraph> <paragraph>Inflammation is an important component in the pathogenesis of asthma and EGPA. Multiple cell types (e.g., mast cells, eosinophils, neutrophils, macrophages, lymphocytes) and mediators (e.g., histamine, eicosanoids, leukotrienes, cytokines) are involved in inflammation. Benralizumab, by binding to the IL-5Rα chain, reduces eosinophils through ADCC; however, the mechanism of benralizumab action in asthma and EGPA has not been definitively established.</paragraph> </text> <effectiveTime value="20240917"/> </section> </component> <component> <section ID="ID_aca702ed-5cff-4e82-8f3d-d08b259d2fc2"> <id root="883a7b75-9cc5-4232-8147-b3a750817728"/> <code code="43681-6" codeSystem="2.16.840.1.113883.6.1" displayName="PHARMACODYNAMICS SECTION"/> <title>12.2 Pharmacodynamics </title> <text> <paragraph>In the 52-week Phase 2 dose-ranging trial, asthma patients received 1 of 3 doses of benralizumab [2 mg (n=81), 20 mg (n=81), or 100 mg (n=222)] or placebo (n=222).

Patients were required to have a history of 2 or more asthma exacerbations requiring oral or systemic corticosteroid treatment in the past 12 months, ACQ‑6 score of 1.5 or more at screening, and reduced lung function at baseline [pre-bronchodilator FEV1 below 80% in adults, and below 90% in adolescents] despite regular treatment with high dose ICS (SIROCCO) or with medium or high dose ICS (CALIMA) plus a long-acting beta agonist (LABA) with or without oral corticosteroids (OCS) and additional asthma controller medications. Patients were stratified by geography, age, and blood eosinophils count (≥300 cells/μL or &lt;300 cells/μL).

Baseline median OCS dose was similar across all treatment groups. Patients were required to have blood eosinophil counts greater than or equal to 150 cells/μL and a history of at least one exacerbation in the past 12 months.

The trial enrolled a total of 140 adults aged 18 years and older with EGPA. Patients were required to have asthma, eosinophilia (1,000 cells/uL or &gt;10% of leukocytes) and a history of relapsing or refractory disease treated with background prednisolone/prednisone with or without immunosuppressive therapy. Patients were randomized to receive FASENRA 30 mg administered subcutaneously every 4 weeks or mepolizumab 300 mg administered subcutaneously every 4 weeks in addition to continued background therapy. Starting at Week 4, the oral corticosteroid (OCS) dose was tapered at the discretion of the investigator. The MANDARA trial was a non-inferiority trial and was not designed to assess whether FASENRA was superior to mepolizumab. The pre-specified noninferiority (NI) margin was a treatment difference of ‑25%. The secondary endpoints (accrued duration of remission, relapse, OCS reduction and the asthma control questionnaire-6) were not included in the pre-specified multiple testing procedure for statistical significance.</paragraph> <paragraph>The demographics and baseline characteristics of patients in MANDARA are provided in <content styleCode="bold">Table 6</content>.</paragraph> <table width="100%"> <caption>Table 6.
