Family Allergy & Asthma Research Institute Contributes to Groundbreaking Global Study on Severe Asthma Treatment

FAA Research Institute contributes to global study proving mepolizumab's effectiveness in reducing severe asthma exacerbations

LOUISVILLE, KY, UNITED STATES, August 13, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Family Allergy & Asthma (FAA) is proud to announce that Dr. Stephen Pollard, Principal Investigator at the FAA Research Institute, has been published as a co-author in the prestigious Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology. The study, titled “Mepolizumab Real-World Effectiveness in Severe Asthma with an Eosinophilic Phenotype and Overlapping Severe Allergic Asthma,” represents a significant advancement in the understanding and treatment of severe asthma.

This large-scale, real-world study highlights the effectiveness of mepolizumab, a biologic therapy targeting eosinophilic inflammation, in reducing asthma exacerbations in patients with overlapping allergic and eosinophilic phenotypes. The findings provide critical insights for clinicians managing complex asthma cases, where multiple biologic treatment options may be considered.
