Answer: Benralizumab's mechanism differs from other IL-5 biotherapeutics for severe asthma in that it directly and rapidly depletes eosinophils through antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, reduces asthma exacerbations, and improves lung function for patients with severe eosinophilic asthma.
