šFor the first time in 50 years there is a new treatment that helps improve the management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease attacks! @UWAresearch@Resp_Health@SanjayRespuwa.au/awq4bm
Such an important study. In people with acute asthma and COPD with eosinophilia regimes containing benralizumab were superior to prednisone alone in reference treatment failure at 90 days
A new era in the treatment of acute exacerbations of #asthma and #COPD - The ABRA Trial. Clarus Leung and I highlight ABRA's importance as well as its limitations.

šØšØBig news for people with severe #asthma in Australia today. The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) has changed the eligibility criteria for asthma biologics today (October 1). (1/3)
No more minimum cumulative oral corticosteroids dose. It was always so silly when patients had to take more oral steroids to get a medicine designed to reduce oral steroids harm.
