Reduction in oral corticosteroid use in patients with severe allergic (IgE-mediated) asthma receiving omalizumab in a real-world setting
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Patients with severe allergic asthma (SAA) are often inadequately controlled despite available treatments including high-dose inhaled corticosteroids and longacting b2-agonists. Use of oral corticosteroids (OCS) in SAA patients may not achieve full asthma control, and leads to significant long-term side effects. Omalizumab is a recombinant humanized monoclonal anti-immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody approved in the European Union as an add-on therapy for patients with SAA. In clinical studies, omalizumab has been shown to reduce OCS use. Here we report the effect of omalizumab treatment on OCS maintenance use for up to 24 months in patients with SAA in the real-world eXpeRience registry.

Reduction in oral corticosteroid use in patients receiving omalizumab for allergic asthma in the real-world setting
BACKGROUND Oral corticosteroids (OCS) are commonly administered in patients with severe persistent allergic asthma. Despite their efficacy, they are associated with a wide variety of adverse events. The eXpeRience registry was set up to investigate real-world outcomes among patients receiving omalizumab for the treatment of uncontrolled allergic asthma. Here, we present the effect of omalizumab...

OBJECTIVE Anti IgE treatment with omalizumab is efficacious in the treatment of patients suffering from allergic asthma, improving asthma control and improving quality of life. Furthermore, this approach could be beneficial for patients with concomitant atopic dermatitis. We assessed quality of life and asthma control in atopic patients with allergic asthma and concomitant atopic dermatitis ver...
متن کاملOmalizumab in the management of patients with allergic (IgE-mediated) asthma
Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is central to the pathophysiology of allergic asthma. Omalizumab, an anti-IgE monoclonal antibody, binds to the FcɛRI binding site on free IgE. As a result, circulating free IgE is reduced, IgE is prevented from attaching to mast cells and basophils, and FcɛRI receptor expression is down-regulated. The inflammatory response to allergens and the acute and chronic effector ...

Background Omalizumab is a recombinant humanized anti-IgE monoclonal antibody, indicated for add-on therapy for moderateto severe-persistent allergic (IgE-mediated) asthma. Interim results at the 16 weeks time point of this 52 week study have previously been presented. We present a subgroup analysis looking at the efficacy of omalizumab at 16 weeks in relation to the serum IgE levels at baseline.
