MELTEMI and COLUMBA: 5-Year Comparative Safety Analysis of Benralizumab and Mepolizumab

Résumé

Background: Benralizumab and mepolizumab are interleukin (IL)-5Rα/interleukin-5–targeted monoclonal antibodies indicated as add-on treatments for patients with uncontrolled severe eosinophilic asthma (SEA). Objective: To evaluate and compare the safety of benralizumab and mepolizumab among patients with SEA treated in MELTEMI and COLUMBA open-label, long-term extension studies, respectively. Methods: MELTEMI was an extension study of benralizumab every 4 weeks (q4w) or every 8 weeks (q8w) for adults (aged 18–75 y) with SEA. MELTEMI participants transitioned from the BORA extension, preceded by participation in 1 of 3 placebo-controlled studies (SIROCCO, CALIMA, or ZONDA). COLUMBA was an extension study of mepolizumab for patients (aged ≥ 12 y) with SEA who transitioned from the dose-ranging DREAM study. Safety endpoints were presented as drug exposure patient-years (MELTEMI, q4w 784.28, q8w 797.03; COLUMBA 1,201) for nonserious adverse events, serious adverse events, and infections; malignancies were counted numerically. Results: This analysis included 446 MELTEMI patients (benralizumab q4w 220; benralizumab q8w 226) and 347 COLUMBA patients (mepolizumab q4w). Viral upper respiratory tract infection was the most common nonserious adverse event in both studies (MELTEMI q8w 46.5%; q4w 47.3%; COLUMBA, 48.7%). Asthma-related events were the most common serious adverse events in both studies: MELTEMI 8.0% (q8w) and 8.6% (q4w) and COLUMBA 9.5%. Serious infections included pneumonia (MELTEMI q8w, 2 [0.9%]; COLUMBA, 6 [1.7%]); cellulitis (MELTEMI q8w, 1 [0.4%]; COLUMBA, 2 [0.6%]); and respiratory tract infections (COLUMBA, 2 [0.6%]). COLUMBA reported 6 malignancies and MELTEMI reported 4 malignancies in each group. Conclusions: This analysis demonstrated generally similar safety events between mepolizumab and benralizumab in patients with SEA.
