In a randomized, double-blind parallel-group study of 103 patients aged between 12 and 21 years with severe asthma, the humoral antibody responses induced by seasonal influenza virus vaccination do not appear to be affected by benralizumab treatment. An effect of benralizumab on the pharmacokinetics of co-administered medicinal products is not expected (see Pharmacology: Pharmacokinetics under Actions).
Cytochrome P450 enzymes, efflux pumps and protein-binding mechanisms are not involved in the clearance of benralizumab. There is no evidence of IL-5Rα expression on hepatocytes. Eosinophil depletion does not produce chronic systemic alterations of proinflammatory cytokines.
