Program Description

This podcast activity provides an in-depth review of several recent trials in severe asthma management, highlighting the ongoing shift in asthma precision medicine towards identifying the right patients for the right treatments. Clinicians will examine clinical data from the NIMBLE trial (depemokimab), alongside the WAYFINDER trial (tezepelumab), as well ZEPHYR 5 (benralizumab), REMOMEPO (mepolizumab), VESTIGE (dupilumab) and VALLIANT (verekitug). This activity will grant clinicians critical insights to move beyond simple exacerbation reduction and precisely align advanced biologic therapies with the underlying cellular biology driving each patient's symptoms.

Educational Objective

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

Review recent updates in the asthma literature, including recent guideline revisions and evolving clinical trial data for newer biologic therapies.
