Brief Summary:
Daily physical activity in adult patients with asthma remains overlooked. Limited evidence demonstrates reduced levels of daily physical activity in asthma populations but studies examining the potential effect of available therapies are missing. This study aims to investigate the overall levels of daily physical activity in patients with severe eosinophilic asthma and whether anti-interleukin-5 therapy with mepolizumab, on top of existing, maximal, and optimised asthma treatment, may improve patient's daily physical activity.
Detailed Description:
A multi-centre, prospective, observational study of continuous patients who fulfil the definition of severe asthma and the criteria for mepolizumab (nucala; GSK) therapy. Patients have their daily physical activity recorded using triaxial accelerometry (DynaPort MoveMonitor; McRoberts) prior to treatment, and at 6 and 12 months of mepolizumab therapy (100 mg subcutaneously once every 4 weeks).
