This is a multicenter, retro-prospective observational study evaluating the effectiveness and safety of benralizumab in adult patients with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) in a real-world setting. The study will include patients treated with benralizumab 30 mg every 4 weeks at EGPA referral centers participating in the European EGPA Study Group. Clinical, laboratory, lung function, treatment, relapse, and safety data will be collected from medical charts at baseline and during follow-up up to 24 months.

Complete Response
Proportion of patients achieving complete response during follow-up. Complete response is defined as no disease activity (BVAS=0) and oral corticosteroid dose ≤4.0 mg/day.
Baseline and up to 24 months (at 3, 6, 12, 24 months)
Change in Lung Function
Change in pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) from baseline to each follow-up time point. Unit of Measure: Milliliters
Baseline, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months
Disease relapse
Proportion of patients experiencing disease relapse after achieving complete response. Relapse is defined as active vasculitis, BVAS \>0, and/or worsening asthma or ear-nose-throat manifestations leading to an increase in oral corticosteroid dose to \>4.0 mg/day, initiation of a new immunosuppressive therapy, or hospitalization.
3, 6, 12, and 24 months
Partial response
Treatment persistence
3, 6, 12, and 24 months
Change in oral corticosteroid dose expressed as prednisone-equivalent dose
Baseline, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months
Oral corticosteroid discontinuation
3, 6, 12, and 24 months
Overall clinical benefit in first-line versus post-mepolizumab patients
Baseline, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months
Effectiveness after benralizumab dosage switching
3 months after dosage switch
Changes in organ manifestations
Baseline, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months
DMARD discontinuation rate
3, 6, 12, and 24 months
Change in ANCA positivity
Baseline, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months
Adult patients with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) receiving benralizumab 30 mg every 4 weeks in a real-world setting. Patients may be newly diagnosed or have relapsing or refractory EGPA and must have at least 3 months of available follow-up after starting benralizumab.
Benralizumab administered at a dose of 30 mg every 4 weeks in adult patients with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) in a real-world setting. Patients may receive benralizumab as first-line biologic therapy or after previous exposure to mepolizumab. Treatment use, persistence, dosage changes, effectiveness outcomes, and safety events will be assessed during follow-up.
Adult patients with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) treated with benralizumab 30 mg every 4 weeks at EGPA referral centers participating in the European EGPA Study Group. Patients may be newly diagnosed or have relapsing or refractory EGPA, and will be included if at least 3 months of follow-up data after benralizumab initiation are available.
