Abstract
- Background: Inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) are the preferred treatment for achieving asthma control. However, little is known regarding the factors contributing to treatment response and whether treatment response differs by population group.<br />Objective: We sought to assess behavioral, sociodemographic, and genetic factors related to ICS response among African American and European American subjects with asthma.<br />Methods: Study participants were part of the Study of Asthma Phenotypes and Pharmacogenomic Interactions by Race-ethnicity (SAPPHIRE). The analytic sample included asthmatic subjects aged 12 to 56 years with greater than 12% bronchodilator reversibility and percent predicted FEV1 of between 40% and 90%. Participants received 6 weeks of inhaled beclomethasone dipropionate. The primary measure of ICS response was a change in Asthma Control Test (ACT) score; the secondary measure was a change in prebronchodilator FEV1. Adherence was measured with electronic monitors. Genetic ancestry was estimated for African American participants by using genome-wide genotype data.<br />Results: There were 339 study participants; 242 self-identified as African American and 97 as European American. Baseline ACT score, percent predicted FEV1, degree of bronchodilator response, and ICS adherence were significantly associated with ICS response. A baseline ACT score of 19 or less was useful in identifying those who would respond, as evidenced by the significant dose-response relationship with ICS adherence. Neither self-reported race-ethnicity among all participants nor proportion of African ancestry among African American participants was associated with ICS responsiveness.<br />Conclusions: Our findings suggest that baseline lung function measures and self-reported asthma control predict ICS response, whereas self-reported race-ethnicity and genetic ancestry do not.<br /> (Copyright © 2016 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology.
