BackgroundTezepelumab is a human monoclonal antibody that blocks thymic stromal lymphopoietin, which has shown increased expression in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) compared with healthy individuals. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of tezepelumab in patients with moderate to very severe COPD despite receiving triple inhaled therapy. MethodsCOURSE was a double-blind

Augmenting clinical trials in asthma through digital technology, decentralised designs, and person-centric endpoints: opportunities and challenges Lancet Respir. Med.

Digital technologies (eg, smart inhalers, wearables, and sensors) allow for remote, objective, granular, and non-invasive data collection, making them attractive for research evaluating interventions in airways diseases with variable trajectories, such as asthma. Such technologies offer the opportunity to move towards decentralised clinical trials that are done partly or fully outside the classic clinical

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is common in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies in adults, especially in patients with antisynthetase syndrome and anti-MDA5 antibody-associated dermatomyositis. Pulmonary manifestations can range from subclinical ILD to rapidly progressive respiratory failure. Coexistent myositis, characteristic skin lesions, arthritis, and Raynaud's phenomenon are common. However,

BackgroundExacerbations of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are important events and are associated with critical illness. Eosinophilic inflammation is a treatable trait commonly found during acute exacerbations of asthma and COPD. We hypothesised that for patients with eosinophilic exacerbations, a single injection of benralizumab, a humanised monoclonal antibody against interleukin-5

BackgroundLife-course lung function trajectories leading to airflow obstruction, as measured by impaired FEV1/FVC (forced vital capacity), precede the onset of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We aimed to investigate whether individuals on impaired FEV1/FVC trajectories have an increased burden of respiratory symptoms, including those who do not meet the spirometric criteria for COPD.

BackgroundCurrent asthma guidelines, including those of the European Respiratory Society (ERS) and American Thoracic Society (ATS), suboptimally predict asthma remission, disease severity, and health-care utilisation. We aimed to establish a novel approach to assess asthma severity based on asthma health-care burden data. MethodsWe analysed prospectively collected data from the Severe Asthma Research

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis is an ultra-rare disease mainly affecting women of childbearing age. The MILES trial showed the efficacy of sirolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, in stabilising lung function in patients with lymphangioleiomyomatosis. Drug toxicity and development of resistance are potential limitations of therapy with sirolimus. Nintedanib is a multikinase inhibitor that inhibits PDGFR, which is active

Antibiotics are fundamental in sepsis management; however, the optimal empirical treatment remains debated. Despite anaerobes rarely being the causative pathogen of sepsis, antibiotics targeting them are frequently used, which might lead to unintended consequences. Multiple studies have shown that depletion of commensal anaerobic gut microbes by anti-anaerobic antibiotics influences systemic immunity
