The Tempest: Difficult to Control Asthma in Adolescence

TL;DR: Treatment of adolescents with severe asthma now includes 3 approved biologic phenotype-directed therapies and research into predictors of specific treatment response by phenotypes is ongoing.

Effect of individual allergen sensitization on omalizumab treatment outcomes in patients with severe allergic asthma determined using data from the Czech Anti-IgE Registry

TL;DR: The clinical benefit of sensitization for patients with SAA receiving omalizumab may be particularly dependent on sensitization pattern, as polysensitized patients showed a higher tendency to be responders (GETE), but a lower tendency to improve the ACT result and reduce ER than non-polysENSitized patients.

Repeated exacerbation of asthma: An intrinsic phenotype of uncontrolled asthma.

TL;DR: Self-management, improving knowledge about the disease, control of comorbidities, and a stepwise approach with the use of a single inhaler maintenance and reliever therapy in patients with severe asthma could help in delivering better care for the “exacerbation-prone phenotype” of asthmatics.

Evaluation of impairment of health related quality of life in asthma: development of a questionnaire for use in clinical trials.

TL;DR: A questionnaire suitable for all adults with asthma and designed to be responsive to within subject change and therefore may be used as a measure of outcome in clinical trials in asthma is developed.

Allergy, rhinitis, other respiratory diseases Omalizumab, anti-IgE recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody, for the treatment of severe allergic asthma

TL;DR: Omalizumab as discussed by the authors is a recombinant humanized anti-IgE mAb, which forms complexes with free IgE, blocking its interaction with mast cells and basophils.

The anti-IgE antibody omalizumab reduces exacerbations and steroid requirement in allergic asthmatics

TL;DR: Results indicate that omalizumab therapy safely improves asthma control in allergic asthmatics who remain symptomatic despite regular use of inhaled corticosteroids and simultaneous reduction in Corticosteroid requirement.
