The path to personalized medicine in asthma.

TL;DR: Asthma therapy is changing from a ’one size fits all’ therapy to a ‘precision medicine’ model, where the most appropriate treatment for each patient is prescribed, and the possibility to act a “sequential bio-combination therapy’ can be envisaged, using different biological drugs in the same patient to act on different pathophysiological mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel monoclonal treatments in severe asthma

TL;DR: Research on the biological treatment of asthma shows promising results, and anti-IgE (omalizumab) has recently been approved for use, whereas those targeting TSLP, IL-9, and TNF-α lacked convincing effectiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel targets of omalizumab in asthma.

TL;DR: Omalizumab may have an antiviral effect when used as a preventive therapy for fall exacerbations in children and teenagers and may have corticosteroid-sparing effect in a subset of patients with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anti-IgE monoclonal antibody for treatment of asthma and other manifestations related to allergic diseases

TL;DR: The paper emphasizes the central role IgE plays in allergic diseases and the biological rationale for its use, the evidence upon which the current recommendations for the use of anti-IgE in uncontrolled asthma are based and its possible future applications.

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.
