Effects of Anti-T2 Biologic Treatment on Lung Ventilation Evaluated by MRI in Adults With Prednisone-Dependent Asthma

BACKGROUND: The functional consequence of airway obstruction in asthma can be regionally measured using inhaled gas MRI. Ventilation defects visualized by MRI persist post-bronchodilator in patients with severe asthma with uncontrolled sputum eosinophilia and may be due to eosinophil-driven airway pathology that is responsive to "anti-T2" therapy. RESEARCH QUESTION: Do anti-T2 therapies that clear eosinophils from the airway lumen decrease …
