Results of biological therapies are often encouraging for severe asthma who are phenotyped as Type 2 inflammation. Unfortunately, some patients do not achieve the desired responses. In this group of patients, there are often switches between anti Ig E and anti-IL-5s and partial improvements are often is deemed sufficient. We planned to start combination therapy with mepolizumab and omalizumab in a 52-year-old patient with uncontrolled allergic asthma whose asthma could not be controlled with omalizumab and mepolizumab treatment, respectively. After complete asthma control was achieved, we aimed to discontinue mepolizumab and continue with omalizumab because it was allergic asthma. The combination of omalizumab 300 mg/month and mepolizumab 100 mg/month was tried and emergency admissions and oral corticosteroids were stopped. At the same time, significant improvement was observed in asthma control test, pulmonary function test and comfort of life. Combined use of Anti-Ig E (omalizumab) and Anti IL 5 (mepolizumab) with a synergistic effect by acting through both pathways, especially in patients with allergic asthma and high levels of both total Ig E and eosinophilia, was found to be effective and no side effects were observed in long-term follow-up. Combination therapy with omalizumab and mepolizumab may become a safe option in patients with severe allergic asthma with a Type 2 inflammatory phenotype who cannot be controlled with each biologic agent.
