Conditions
Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the risk of serious adverse cardiovascular events in adolescent and adult patients with severe asthma taking tezepelumab compared to a population receiving standard of care treatment for severe asthma.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria1
- patients with a diagnosis of asthma receiving tezepelumab or high-intensity SOC treatment for severe asthma at any point during the study inclusion period.
Exclusion Criteria5
- \<12 months of data availability prior to index date,
- age \<12 years at index date,
- history of congenital heart disease or heart transplant outcome-specific exclusion criterion applied for each objective will include the presence of non-fatal myocardial infarction or stroke and the specific outcome of interest in the 180 days prior to index date
- for comparative analysis, an additional exclusion criterion will be considered, i.e. exposure to non-tezepelumab biologics on index date or within the 5-half-life clearance period of the biologic
- matching criteria (including, among other variables, the type and duration of SOC exposure in the 12 months before index date and propensity score \[PS\] matching) will be applied to ensure exposed and unexposed patients' comparability
Interventions
The exposure of primary interest is tezepelumab for severe asthma. Exposure will be assessed based on prescriptions or administrations depending on the data source. A comparable cohort of unexposed patients treated with high-intensity SOC will be identified based on the presence of a trigger exposure (i.e., augmentation or change of the non-biologic high-intensity treatment that does not represent treatment de-escalation) to mirror tezepelumab start in the exposed cohort. Due to the limited knowledge of the cardiovascular profile of biologics, SOC for comparative analyses will only include non-biologic high-intensity treatment.
