What are eosinophils?

Eosinophils are white blood cells that help fight infection and illness. They’re a normal part of our immune systems. However, having too many eosinophils causes inflammation of the airways and can lead to asthma symptoms and attacks.

How CINQAIR Works

CINQAIR works in a way that is different from inhalers or steroids.

Exposure to asthma triggers can activate eosinophils and cause them to multiply. This increase in eosinophils can lead to airway inflammation, asthma symptoms, and asthma attacks.

Results with CINQAIR

See how Cinqair may help:

Reduce severe, uncontrolled eosinophilic asthma attacks

Improved breathing

Improve quality of life

CINQAIR was studied in people with poorly controlled, severe asthma and a higher than normal level of eosinophils. When added to their other asthma treatments, CINQAIR provided relief as early as 4 weeks. Plus, improvements were seen through the end of the 1-year studies.
 
 
 

Fewer asthma attacks

CINQAIR reduced poorly controlled,
severe eosinophilic asthma symptoms and attacks.

In studies:

CINQAIR consistently helped prevent exacerbations in multiple clinical trials over 52 weeks

The majority of people who added CINQAIR
to other asthma medicines did not have an asthma attack, compared with people who did not add CINQAIR.

  • As many as 3 in 4 people who added CINQAIR did not have an asthma attack for the entire year
  • In comparison, only about half of people who did not add CINQAIR were free of asthma attacks

CINQAIR also reduced asthma attacks that*:

  • Required the use of oral steroids
  • Resulted in visits to the hospital or emergency room
Arrow pointing down, studies showed fewer exacerbations

*No clinical studies have assessed reduction of maintenance corticosteroid dosages following use of CINQAIR.

Better breathing

Better lung function means better breathing. Studies showed that people who added CINQAIR to their asthma medications had improved lung function test results when compared with people who did not add CINQAIR to their asthma therapy.

If you aren’t sure how well your lungs are working, talk to your doctor about getting a lung function test.

Improved symptom control and quality of life

CINQAIR improved symptom control and quality of life.

People who added CINQAIR to their asthma medications reported an overall better quality of life compared with those who did not add CINQAIR. And people who added CINQAIR had better control over their symptoms† than people who did not add CINQAIR.

†As measured by the Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire and the Asthma Control Questionnaire-7. These tools assess the physical and emotional impact of asthma and how well asthma is controlled.
