New Investigation into Asthma condition found that despite the atopic status, Omalizumab was effective in severe asthma. This was published in "Journal of Asthma, 2022."
Asthma is a disease of the lower respiratory tract with characteristic episodic wheezing, dyspnea, and cough. Management of asthma requires avoiding the aggravating factors, corticosteroids, long-acting beta-blockers, long-acting muscarinic agents, and biological agents. Literature shows that in severe atopic asthma, humanized monoclonal anti-IgE antibody (omalizumab) has demonstrated efficacy in non-atopic and even less in T2-low severe asthma. So, researchers from France conducted a study to determine the response of omalizumab according to the atopic status.
