This study aims to generate real-world data on the characteristics of patients receiving benralizumab to assess early PRO parameters as well as long-term treatment effects in the Gulf cooperative council (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Qatar), Latin America (Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia), and India. It is anticipated that the data generated will provide practical, patient-focused real-world evidence and enhance communications between patients and physicians in an objective and structured manner to ensure better disease control in patients under benralizumab treatment.
