New treatment option for Asthma
Official title Short Treatment with Omalizumab for Severe Asthma
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04763447
What this study is testing
What is Continuation of OMA treatment?
Continuation of OMA treatment is an investigational medicine, given as an injection under the skin, being studied as a potential treatment for asthma.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The optimal duration of the treatment by OMA remains unclear when asthma is well controlled. Data suggest that a large part of patients with well controlled asthma can discontinue OMA therapy without any asthma control deterioration or with an acceptable decrease in asthma control, therefore French experts propose that omalizumab can be given for "3 to 5 yrs if asthma remains well controlled".
- Phase 4: studies an already-approved treatment
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
