Abstract

eosinophilic COPD and respiratory comorbidities who remain uncontrolled despite optimized triple inhaled therapy. Recent Findings Recent phase 3 trials have shown that dupilumab provides the most consistent benefit in eosinophilic COPD, reducing exacerbations and improving lung function and quality of life. Mepolizumab has shown a more limited effect, mainly on exacerbation reduction, whereas benralizumab has not demonstrated clear clinical benefit. Blood eosinophil count remains the main biomarker for treatment selection. Summary Biologic therapies are advancing precision medicine in COPD, with dupilumab currently showing the strongest overall evidence. Careful patient selection is essential. Broader phenotyping may further improve management, as comorbidities such as chronic rhinosinusitis may contribute to symptom burden and support a multidisciplinary approach. Future studies should clarify long-term outcomes and optimal biologic selection.
