Does starting a biologic earlier in severe asthma change airway structure, and not just exacerbations?
A new review in Allergy frames this as a causal question and outlines how CT mucus scoring, smart inhalers, and causal AI could test it.

Mucus plugs are an emerging therapeutic target in severe asthma. Check out this CHEST Physician piece from Drs. Austin Herbst, Damaris Pena Evertz and Angela Quental on the CT mucus plug score and what biologics do to it! #AII www.chestphysician.org/mucus-pluggi...

About 1 in 3 pregnant patients with asthma continued their inhaled corticosteroid in the first trimester.
In 6,105 pregnancies in Korea, continuing ICS was not associated with higher maternal or neonatal risk than stopping.

Is adding dupilumab to medium-dose inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) superior to continuing high-dose ICS in patients with uncontrolled, moderate-to-severe asthma? Read more: www.annallergy.org/article/S108...
Improved asthma outcomes with dupilumab plus medium-dose inhaled corticosteroids vs placebo plus high-dose inhaled corticosteroids
Escalating from medium-dose inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) to high-dose ICS in patients
with asthma offers limited clinical benefit.
