In children 6 to 11 years-of-age with severe eosinophilic asthma, mepolizumab SC 40 or 100 mg provided bodyweight-adjusted drug exposure within twofold of target adult exposure as well as marked reductions to blood eosinophil counts similar to adults, and although not designed to evaluate efficacy outcomes, demonstrated a positive clinical profile.
