- Informed consent is available
- Participants was enrolled into the GSK HES CUP
- Exclusion criteria of the GSK HES CUP:
- Participants without HES but with other conditions associated with eosinophilic pathological processes such as Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA), Wegener’s Granulomatosis, atopic disorders, parasitic infections, eosinophilic gastroenteropathies
- Participants was enrolled into the GSK HES CUP
- Treatment with mepolizumab for greater than or equal to (≥) 2 years after enrolment in the HES CUP
- Inclusion criteria of the GSK HES CUP:
- In accordance with local procedures, written informed consent/assent could be obtained from the subject or legally authorized representative
- ≥ 12 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent/assent
- Meets the diagnostic criteria for HES as defined by:
- Eosinophilia >1500 cells per microliter (cells/μl) for at least 6 months with evidence of symptoms and signs of organ system involvement or dysfunction that can be directly related to eosinophilia (with no evidence of parasitic, allergic or other recognised causes of eosinophilia such as connective tissues disease, malignancy) or
- Participants meeting all three of the following criteria were eligible:
- The indication, HES, was a seriously debilitating or life-threatening disease;
- There was no satisfactory alternative treatment: documented failure (lack of efficacy or a contra-indication) to at least 3 standard therapies (corticosteroids, cytotoxic agents, immunomodulatory therapy, and Imatinib mesylate) at the appropriate duration and dose or demonstrated clinical benefit from prior treatment with mepolizumab; and
- There was reason to believe that the benefit:risk ratio for mepolizumab in the indication is positive.
Informed consent is available
Eosinophilia of >1500 cells/μl for less than 6 months and meet the other criteria for HES accompanied by clear evidence of eosinophil tissue infiltration and with exclusion of secondary causes of eosinophilia as above.
- Participants without HES but with other conditions associated with eosinophilic pathological processes such as Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA), Wegener’s Granulomatosis, atopic disorders, parasitic infections, eosinophilic gastroenteropathies
- Female participants of childbearing potential who were not using a highly effective method of contraception
- Pregnant or lactating females
- Participants with severe/life-threatening underlying disease unrelated to HES where life expectancy was estimated to be less than 3 months
- Participants with a history of or current malignancy:
- Participants with current malignancy or previous history of cancer in remission for less than 12 months prior to the first dose. Participants that had localized carcinoma (i.e., basal or squamous cell) of the skin which was resected for cure were not be excluded
- Participants with history of serious allergic reaction (hypersensitivity/anaphylaxis) to anti-IL5 or other antibody therapy or known or suspected hypersensitivity to any component of mepolizumab, leading to treatment discontinuation
- Participants with current drug or alcohol abuse where uncertain compliance with the protocol and/or with the medical management instruction of the investigator could cause safety risk
- Participants who had received treatment with an investigational agent (biologic or nonbiologic, excluding mepolizumab) within the past 30 days or 5 drug half-lives whichever is longer, prior to the administration of mepolizumab under the HES CUP protocol. The term “investigational” applies to any drug not approved for sale in the country in which it is being used or investigational formulations of marketed products.
Exclusion criteria of the GSK HES CUP:
Participants with a history of or current lymphoma
