Anti-IgE and other antibody targets in asthma.

TL;DR: The majority of attention is devoted to anti-IgE therapy which has been approved for treatment of adult and childhood asthma by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since 2003.

Biological treatments for severe asthma.

TL;DR: The mechanism of action and indications for approved biologics, which have been found to reduce symptoms of asthma, improve lung function, reduce the use of oral corticosteroids, and improve quality of life of patients are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

What have recent advances in therapy taught us about severe asthma disease mechanisms

TL;DR: In the absence of safety warnings so far, interfering with the immune system may raise some safety concerns, especially in the long-term use and whether biologics exert a true disease-modifying effect is still controversial.
Journal ArticleDOI

Temperature-controlled laminar airflow in severe asthma for exacerbation reduction (The LASER Trial): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial

TL;DR: The LASER trial aims to assess whether a new treatment, temperature controlled laminar airflow (TLA) delivered by the Airsonett™ device, can reduce the frequency of exacerbations in patients with severe allergic asthma by reducing exposure to aeroallergens overnight.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
