Novel mechanisms of action contributing to benralizumab's potent anti-eosinophilic activity

Rania Dagher et al.

Summary: Benralizumab, a humanised monoclonal antibody, shows potent anti-eosinophilic activity through induction of eosinophil apoptosis and phagocytosis by macrophages. The mechanism involves NK cells, macrophage-derived TNF, and activation of Caspase-3/7 and cytochrome c. The afucosylation of benralizumab enhances its potency for these mechanisms.

Rituximab and mepolizumab combination therapy for glucocorticoid-resistant myocarditis related to eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis

Kana Higashitani et al.

Summary: Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), a type of ANCA-associated vasculitides, is characterized by eosinophil-rich inflammation and vasculitis, often associated with asthma and eosinophilia. This case report highlights successful treatment of EGPA-associated myocarditis with a combination of rituximab and mepolizumab after refractory response to glucocorticoid therapy.

Benralizumab in eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis complicated by Staphylococcus aureus sepsis

Antonios G. A. Kolios et al.

Summary: Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA) is a small-vessels vasculitis associated with ANCA, characterized by hypereosinophilia and eosinophilic asthma. In cases of life-threatening organ involvement, particularly cardiac and central nervous system (CNS), immediate immunosuppression is required. Antibiotic therapy combined with Benralizumab can be a potential therapeutic option for active EGPA with eosinophil-mediated pathologies in severely ill patients.

Benralizumab as a Steroid-Sparing Treatment Option in Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis

Vamsi P. Guntur et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that benralizumab was well tolerated in patients with EGPA, facilitating reduction in oral corticosteroid dose and decreasing exacerbations. Larger controlled trials are needed to further evaluate the potential role of benralizumab in treating EGPA.

Carlos Martinez-Rivera et al.

Summary: This case report demonstrates rapid improvement in symptoms and lung function in a patient with severe eosinophilic asthma associated with EGPA using benralizumab. The findings suggest the potential advantage of benralizumab in the treatment of patients with EGPA and severe eosinophilic asthma refractory to conventional treatment.

Francesco Menzella et al.

Summary: EGPA is a rare multi-organ inflammatory condition characterized by necrotizing eosinophilic granulomatous inflammation. Effective treatment options include oral glucocorticoids, but frequent relapses and side effects are common. There is currently no consensus on dosing and treatment schedules for managing EGPA.

Successful early introduction of mepolizumab for peripheral neuropathy with a peripheral circulatory disorder in a patient with myeloperoxidase anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-negative eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis

Masahiro Nishihara et al.

Summary: In this case, a 26-year-old female patient with EGPA developed peripheral neuropathy. While initial treatment with methylprednisolone and intravenous immunoglobulin led to temporary improvement, symptoms recurred. The introduction of mepolizumab early in the treatment course resulted in significant improvement, suggesting its potential efficacy in progressive peripheral neuropathy associated with eosinophilia.
