Biological drugs have revolutionized the management of severe asthma, and a tailored treatment approach made it possible to consider remission as an achievable treatment target. The incidence of autoimmune diseases is increasing in many parts of the world. Patients suffering from severe asthma, eligible or already treated with an asthma-approved biologic agent, may suffer from another immune-mediated inflammatory disease (IMID) that could require the simultaneous use of a second monoclonal antibody. The real-life studies available in the literature describing the concurrent administration of an asthma-approved biologic agent with another biologic for a different immune disease, obtained through a systematic search on online databases based on monoclonal antibodies, were collected and analyzed. 26 articles were included in this review according to the prespecified inclusion and exclusion criteria. All included papers were retrospective in nature. Study designs were case reports (n=18), case series (n=3), retrospective chart reviews (n=3), retrospective observational studies (n=1), and cohort studies (n=1). The study is intended to present, within the current literature, all the administered combinations of severe asthma-approved biologics with monoclonal antibodies for a different indication. Those were grouped according to the IMID for whom the second biologic agent, with a different mechanism of action, was prescribed. The combinations prescribed to the cohort of patients specifically treating uncontrolled severe asthma were deeper evaluated in the discussion section, since an analysis of these therapeutic combinations deriving from real-life experiences may be useful to optimize the management of patients with severe asthma, ultimately leading to improved patient care and outcomes. Prospective registries and future studies are required to assess the safety and efficacy of combination therapies for severe asthmatic patients who suffer from an IMID.
