This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), will support research to emulate hypothetical randomized and adaptive trials to establish the comparative effectiveness of biologics in treating severe asthma. The research team at Brigham & Women's Hospital Inc. will leverage their clinical expertise in asthma and monoclonal antibody therapies, combined with advanced causal inference and pharmacoepidemiologic techniques, to compare the respiratory biologics approved for asthma and identify the optimal dynamic treatment-switching strategy. The total funding amount for this 5-year project is $834,840, with an award date of June 1, 2025. This research aims to fill important gaps in the evidence base regarding respiratory biologics for severe asthma, potentially leading to improved care for individuals with this condition.
