Adding Omalizumab to the Therapy of Adolescents With Persistent Uncontrolled Moderate-Severe Allergic Asthma
Clinical Pediatrics, 09/18/09
Massanari M et al. – Omalizumab added to baseline therapy improves measures of asthma control in adolescents with persistent moderate–severe allergic asthma.
M. Massanari, 10/09/09

Addition of omalizumab, a humanized monoclonal anti-IgE antibody, to inhaled corticosteroids improves asthma control by reducing exacerbations and improving symptoms. |
