Study in Portuguese hospitals to describe patient characteristics, treatment patterns and outcomes - Betreat

Benralizumab is indicated as an add-on maintenance treatment in adult patients with severe eosinophilic asthma inadequately controlled despite high-dose inhaled corticosteroids plus long-acting β2-agonists. It has been reimbursed in Portugal as an add-on therapy since May 2019. In order of this, there is crucial need in Portugal to provide key real-word evidence on benralizumab therapy.

This is a real-world retrospective, multicentric, observational study, utilizing secondary data collection from medical records of adults patients (≥18 years) with severe asthma (maintenance treatment with high dose inhaled corticosteroids combined with long-acting agonist β2) and eosinophilic phenotype, who, at the discretion of the physician, received benralizumab accordingly to the clinical practice, in the period after the marketing authorization of benralizumab.
