Omalizumab in patients with allergic (IgE-mediated) asthma and IgE/bodyweight combinations above those in the initially approved dosing table

TL;DR: The safety and PK/PD findings from this study are consistent with previous data, and supported the extension of the omalizumab dosing table to include those patients with higher IgE/bodyweight combinations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Four-year follow-up in children with moderate/severe uncontrolled asthma after withdrawal of a 1-year omalizumab treatment.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that treatment with omalizumab could potentially modify the natural course of asthma is generated, however, further studies are needed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Omalizumab decreased IgE-release and induced changes in cellular immunity in patients with allergic asthma

TL;DR: Omalizumab, a recombinant monoclonal anti‐immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody, shows proven efficacy in the treatment of allergic diseases and a little is known about the immunological pathways affected by the decrease of circulating free IgE during omalIZumab treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predictors of response to therapy with omalizumab in patients with severe allergic asthma - a real life study.

TL;DR: Lower baseline FEV1 and higher IL-13 levels in induced sputum supernatant were predictors of response to omalizumab, and patients with higher baseline serum IgE levels, shorter disease duration and higher blood eosinophils might benefit from a more prolonged treatment before being characterized as non-responders.

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.
