The recent explosion in the number of biologic therapies in clinical development for the
treatment of eosinophilic disorders is unprecedented. As these agents become available for
clinical use, the selection of the most appropriate agent for a given patient will become
increasingly complicated. The aims of this review were 2-fold:(1) to present the lessons
learned from clinical trials using the first generation of eosinophil-targeted biologics (anti–IL-
5 antibodies) and (2) to discuss the advantages and potential limitations of currently …

The aims of this review were 2-fold: (1) to present the lessons learned from clinical trials using the first generation of eosinophil-targeted biologics (anti–IL-5 antibodies) and (2) to discuss the advantages and potential limitations of currently available and novel targeted therapies to treat eosinophilic disorders.
