Extract
The analyses described in this document are being conducted to generate estimates of the effect of mepolizumab on exacerbations requiring hospitalisation/ED visits and hospitalisation alone which are observed at relatively low frequencies in individual studies. Exacerbations requiring hospitalization/ED visits are serious for patients, but are difficult to study in a single randomised controlled clinical trial as they occur relatively infrequently. The meta-analysis will also investigate the relationship between efficacy endpoints and blood eosinophils providing further information on the relationship between baseline blood eosinophils thresholds and the effects of treatment with mepolizumab.
