AstraZeneca and Amtrane's tezepelumab have won the "breakthrough" status

AstraZeneca and Amgen's tezepelumab have gained ground-breaking therapeutic status in the United States because of their potential to treat severe asthma without an acidophil ideotype.
therapy is being developed for patients receiving inhaled corticosteroids/long-acting beta2 recipients, whether they have or do not have oral corticosteroids and other asthma control agents.
the breakthrough name is based on data from the Phase IIb PATHWAY trial, which the company says shows "a significant reduction in acute asthma attacks per year compared to placebos in a broad group of severe asthma patients, regardless of the patient's ideomorphism, including type 2 (T2) biomarker status."
, which is driven by inflammation of T2, including eosinophil ideotypes, account for about two-thirds of malignant asthma cases and is typically characterized by elevated levels of T2 inflammatory biomarkers. However, about one-third of patients did not experience an increase in T2 inflammation and needed new treatment options.
current biotherapy only targets T2-driven inflammation, but tezepelumab works differently because it blocks thymus-based lymphocyte progenitor (TSLP), an upstream regulator of multiple inflammatory path pathps.
Tezepelumab is exciting because it has the potential to treat a wide range of people with severe asthma, including those that are not eligible for currently approved biotherapy," said Sean Bohen, Executive Vice President of Global Pharmaceutical Development and Chief Medical Officer of Arizona.
