Value of biotargeted drugs in airway mucus therapy of asthma / 中国临床药理学与治疗学

ABSTRACT

Airway mucus plug is a common phenotype in asthma that increases the risk of acute asthma attacks by causing aggravation of airflow obstruction. Given its important role in asthma, treatment targeting airway mucus plugs may be a strategy to control asthma progression and prevent fatal asthma exacerbations. Previous studies have shown that acidosophils and T2 type inflammation are related with the formation of mucus plugs, and biotargeted drugs targeting the above pathways may be effective in the treatment of airway mucus plugs.
