Summary of clinical utilities as a predictive biomarker of treatment.

Drug Manufacture Target Diseases Specimens Outcomes of Periostin As Predictive or Monitoring Biomarker
Lebrikizumab Genentech IL-13 Asthma Serum Patients with high pretreatment levels of serum periostin had greater improvement in lung function with lebrikizumab than did patients with low periostin levels [20].
Serum Lebrikizumab-treated subjects with elevated baseline levels of peripheral blood eosinophils, serum IgE, or periostin exhibited a greater reduction in late asthmatic response [171].
Serum Treatment with lebrikizumab reduced the rate of asthma exacerbations, which was more pronounced in the periostin-high patients (60% reduction) than in the periostin-low patients (5% reduction) [59].
Serum Lung function also improved the following: lebrikizumab treatment, with greatest increase in FEV1 in periostin-high patients [58].
Omalizumab Genentech IgE Asthma Serum There was a large difference in reduction in exacerbations after 48 weeks with omalizumab treatment between the high and low periostin groups (30% vs. 3%) [172].
Serum Omalizumab significantly reduced serum periostin levels at 4 and 8 weeks after the start of the treatment [170].
Serum Serum periostin levels decreased in omalizumab-treated patients in comparison to conventionally treated patients. This effect was remarkably apparent only if CRSwNP was not present [173].
Mepolizumab GlaxoSmithKline IL-5 Asthma Nasal secretion Nasal periostin levels decreased significantly after 8 weeks of treatment with mepolizumab [172].
Dupilumab Regeneron/Sanofi IL-4 Rα Asthma Serum Peripheral blood eosinophil and FeNO concentrations were associated with lower exacerbation frequency and improved respiratory function, whereas periostin concentrations were associated only with improved respiratory function [60].
AD Serum During dupilumab treatment, disease severity-related serum periostin significantly decreased [122].
Tralokinumab AstraZeneca IL-13 Asthma Serum FeNO (>32.3 ppb) and periostin (>27.4 ng/mL) were identified as the only biomarkers potentially predictive of treatment effect [167].
IPF Serum Tralokinumab did not demonstrate a significant change in percent predicted FVC from baseline to Week 52 for either the periostin-high or the periostin-low group [174].
Pirfenidone Genentech TGF-β1, TNF-α IPF Serum Several baseline biomarkers (CCL13, CCL18, CXCL13, CXCL14, periostin, and YKL40) were prognostic for progression outcomes with pirfenidon treatment [175].
