PG - 39 LID - 10.1007/s11882-021-01017-8 [doi] AB - PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Accumulating evidence has shown that prostaglandin D2 (PGD2)-chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on Th2 cells (CRTH2) pathway plays an important role in promoting eosinophilic airway inflammation in asthma. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of CRTH2 antagonist fevipiprant in patients with persistent asthma compared with placebo. RECENT FINDINGS: We identified eligible studies by searching PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and ClinicalTrials.gov. The study was registered as CRD 42020221714 ( http://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO ). Ten randomized controlled trials with 7902 patients met our inclusion criteria. A statistically significant benefit of fevipiprant compared with placebo was shown in improving forced expiratory volume in 1 s (MD 0.05 L, 95% CI: 0.02 to 0.07; p < 0.0001), Asthma Control Questionnaire score (MD -0.10, 95% CI: -0.16 to -0.04; p = 0.001), and Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire score (MD 0.08, 95% CI: 0.03 to 0.13; p = 0.003). Fevipiprant decreased number of patients with at least one asthma exacerbation requiring administration of systemic corticosteroids for 3 days or more (RR 0.86, 95% CI: 0.77 to 0.97; p = 0.01). Some benefits were a little more pronounced in the high eosinophil population (with an elevated blood eosinophil count or sputum eosinophil percentage) and in the 450 mg dose group. Fevipiprant was well tolerated with no safety issues compared with placebo. Fevipiprant could safely improve asthma outcomes compared to placebo. However, most of the differences didn't reach the minimal clinically important difference (MCID), thus the clinical benefits remained to be confirmed. CI - (c) 2021.
