Breakthrough Asthma Treatment: First New Option in 50 Years. Researchers have discovered the first major treatment for asthma attacks in 50 years using a drug called Benralizumab. Already prescribed for severe cases, this injection targets overactive immune cells, known as eosinophils, which drive inflammation in the lungs. New findings suggest it could be widely used, potentially preventing two million asthma and COPD flare-ups in the UK annually. The study, led by King’s College London, shows the drug’s potential to transform care. Traditional steroids fail in 74% of cases but Benralizumab reduced treatment failures to 45%, cutting hospitalizations and deaths. Experts call it a “game-changer,” offering tailored solutions based on specific immune responses. This breakthrough could mark a turning point for millions living with chronic respiratory conditions.
