Respiratory Medicine, 06/30/09
Holgate S et al. - Based on clinical trial data analysis, it is recommended that treatment response is evaluated by the physician after 16 weeks of therapy. Treatment should only be continued in responders, i.e. those judged by the physician to have achieved a marked improvement or complete asthma control. Omalizumab is generally well tolerated. Anaphylactic-like reactions are rare and less common than encountered with other biologics.
