Dupilumab Reduces Exacerbations Independent of Changes in Biomarkers in Moderate-to-Severe Asthma

Abstract:
The objective of this study was to comprehensively analyze the use of monoclonal antibodies in the treatment of moderate to severe asthma. A literature review was conducted using scientific publications from 2021 to 2025. The search was performed in biomedical databases such as PubMed, SciELO, Elsevier, Google Scholar, Ciencia Latina, and the DeCS thesaurus, using MeSH and DeCS terms. Clinical studies and systematic reviews that evaluated clinical outcomes, reduction of exacerbations, improvement in lung function, and the presence of adverse events associated with these drugs were selected. The findings reveal that monoclonal antibodies offer significant benefits in asthma control, especially in patients with specific inflammatory characteristics. These medications consistently decrease the frequency of exacerbations, improve quality of life, and reduce the need for systemic corticosteroids. Furthermore, relevant differences were observed in the response profile according to clinical biomarkers, comorbidities, and inflammatory phenotypes. In conclusion, the results of this review indicate that the use of monoclonal antibodies represents an effective and safe therapeutic strategy for patients with moderate and severe uncontrolled asthma, provided that its indication is based on appropriate biomarkers and on the individual assessment of each patient to optimize clinical benefits and promote a more precise and personalized approach.El objetivo del trabajo presentado fue analizar de manera integral el uso de anticuerpos monoclonales en el tratamiento del asma moderada a severa. Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica de literatura científica publicada entre 2021 y 2025, la búsqueda se desarrolló en bases de datos biomédicas como PubMed, SciELO, Elsevier, Google Académico, Ciencia Latina y el tesauro DeCS, utilizando términos MeSH y DeCS, seleccionando estudios clínicos, revisiones sistemáticas que evaluaron resultados clínicos, reducción de exacerbaciones, mejoría de la función pulmonar y presencia de eventos adversos asociados a estos fármacos. Los hallazgos revelan que los anticuerpos monoclonales ofrecen beneficios significativos en el control del asma, especialmente en pacientes con características inflamatorias específicas, estos medicamentos disminuyen de forma consistente la frecuencia de exacerbaciones, mejoran la calidad de vida y reducen la necesidad de corticosteroides sistémicos. Asimismo, se observaron diferencias relevantes en el perfil de respuesta según biomarcadores clínicos, comorbilidades y fenotipos inflamatorios. En conclusión, los resultados de esta revisión indican que el uso de anticuerpos monoclonales representa una estrategia terapéutica eficaz y segura para pacientes con asma moderada y severa no controlada, siempre que su indicación se base en biomarcadores adecuados y en la evaluación individual de cada paciente para optimizar los beneficios clínicos y favorecer un abordaje más preciso y personalizado
