Dupilumab significantly reduced COPD exacerbations and received high satisfaction ratings from patients with severe disease and Th2 inflammation.

Mepolizumab, an IL-5 inhibitor targeting Th2 inflammation characterized by elevate serum eosinophil count, fills a treatment gap for ~70% of adults with uncontrolled COPD.

The model demonstrated 70.63% accuracy for predicting depression, a common comorbidity seen in COPD and one that increases risk for negative outcomes.

The KALOS and LOGOS registration trials in patients with uncontrolled asthma compared the triple fixed dose BGF with dual combination therapy.

New clinical trial findings to be presented at ATS 2025 highlights the effectiveness of dupilumab in treating COPD and asthma.
