Abstract

The first targeted drug that is used for patients with uncontrolled moderate and severe atopic asthma (BA) was anti-IgE drug omalizumab (Xolar®). This drug is prescribed to patients with moderate to severe atopic BA, which is not controlled by baseline therapy corresponding to stage 4 (level of evidence A). Clinical studies have convincingly demonstrated that in patients with severe asthma requiring treatment with high doses of inhaled corticosteroids or oral glucocorticosteroids, treatment with Xolar® reduces the frequency of exacerbations of BA, reduces the severity of asthma and allows for steroid-dependent BA to cancel or significantly reduce the dose of systemic corticosteroids. In addition, the anti-inflammatory effect of the drug has been proven. Studies in recent years provide more and more data on the positive impact of omalizumab on the remodeling of the respiratory tract.
