Severe eosinophilic asthma treated with mepolizumab stratified by baseline eosinophil thresholds: a secondary analysis of the DREAM and MENSA studies.

TL;DR: An analysis of data from two randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies of at least 32 weeks duration has shown a close relationship between baseline blood eosinophil count and clinical efficacy of mepolizumab in patients with severe eOSinophilic asthma and a history of exacerbations.
Journal ArticleDOI

The mechanisms, diagnosis, and management of severe asthma in adults

TL;DR: The importance of identifying underlying causative factors and the recent introduction of novel therapeutic approaches, including the targeting of immunoglobulin E and tumour necrosis factor alpha with biological agents, emphasise the need for careful phenotyping of patients with severe disease to target improved management of the individual patient's needs.

Omalizumab in Severe Allergic Asthma Inadequately Controlled With Standard Therapy

TL;DR: In this paper, a randomized trial evaluated the efficacy of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and long-acting β2-agonists (LABAs) for severe asthma in some patients.

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.
