NCT06951867

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the risk of serious adverse cardiovascular events in adolescent and adult patients with severe asthma taking tezepelumab compared to a population receiving standard of care treatment for severe asthma.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • composite outcome MACE

    The primary outcome of interest is the composite outcome MACE, consisting of non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, or cardiovascular death.

    five years from tezepelumab market launch

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • composite of four serious adverse cardiovascular events

    five years from tezepelumab market launch

Study Arms (2)

tezepelumab severe asthma patients

patients with a diagnosis of severe asthma receiving tezepelumab

Drug: Tezepelumab

tezepelumab unexposed asthma patients

patients with a diagnosis of severe asthma receiving non-tezepelumab standard of care for severe asthma

Interventions

The exposure of primary interest is tezepelumab for severe asthma. Exposure will be assessed based on prescriptions or administrations depending on the data source. A comparable cohort of unexposed patients treated with high-intensity SOC will be identified based on the presence of a trigger exposure (i.e., augmentation or change of the non-biologic high-intensity treatment that does not represent treatment de-escalation) to mirror tezepelumab start in the exposed cohort. Due to the limited knowledge of the cardiovascular profile of biologics, SOC for comparative analyses will only include non-biologic high-intensity treatment.

Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

The study will be conducted using data sources from Denmark, France, Germany, and the United States of America (USA). The source population will consist of patients with a diagnosis of asthma receiving tezepelumab or high-intensity SOC treatment for severe asthma at any point during the study inclusion period. From this source population, the exposed study population (i.e. patients who initiate tezepelumab treatment) and the unexposed study population (i.e. comparable patients who are unexposed to tezepelumab) will be identified.

You may not qualify if:

  • \<12 months of data availability prior to index date,
  • age \<12 years at index date,
  • matching criteria (including, among other variables, the type and duration of SOC exposure in the 12 months before index date and propensity score \[PS\] matching) will be applied to ensure exposed and unexposed patients' comparability

Data Sharing

IPD Sharing
Will share

Qualified researchers can request access to anonymized individual patient-level data from AstraZeneca group of companies sponsored clinical trials via the request portal Vivli.org. All requests will be evaluated as per the AZ disclosure commitment: https://astrazenecagrouptrials.pharmacm.com/ST/Submission/Disclosure. "Yes", indicates that AZ are accepting requests for IPD, but this does not mean all requests will be shared.

Time Frame
AstraZeneca will meet or exceed data availability as per the commitments made to the EFPIA PhRMA Data Sharing Principles. For details of our timelines, please refer to our disclosure commitment at https://astrazenecagrouptrials.pharmacm.com/ST/Submission/Disclosure.
Access Criteria
When a request has been approved, AstraZeneca will provide access to the anonymized individual patient-level data via secure research environment Vivli.org. A signed Data Usage Agreement (non-negotiable contract for data accessors) must be in place before accessing requested information.
