Predictors of reversible airway obstruction with omalizumab in severe asthma: a real-life study

Background: Omalizumab may modulate airway remodeling in severe asthma. Using forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV 1 ) as a surrogate of airway remodeling, we aimed to investigate if an omalizumab add-on in severe allergic asthma may lead to a persistent reversal of airway obstruction and to evaluate the potential biomarkers of airway obstruction reversibility. Methods: Data were collected before (T0) and after omalizumab add-on for 1 year...
