Summary

This was a multicenter, parallel-group, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study that enrolled 333 subjects. These subjects were 12-75 years old with atopic asthma, had elevated serum total Immunoglobulin E (IgE), had a baseline forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) ≥ 80% predicted, and were on inhaled corticosteroids with or without other controller asthma medications (e.g., long-acting β2-agonists \[LABAs\], leukotriene receptor antagonist \[LTRA\], or immunotherapy).

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

omalizumab (Xolair)

Omalizumab (Xolair) was administered subcutaneously every 2 or 4 weeks. The dose (mg) and dosing frequency were determined by serum total IgE level (IU/mL), measured before the start of treatment, and body weight (kg). Assignment of the study drug dose was determined by using the study drug-dosing table. Doses of \> 150 mg were divided among more than one injection site to limit injections to no more than 150 mg per site.

DRUG

placebo

The dose of placebo consisting of sucrose, L-histidine, L-histidine hydrochloride monohydrate, and polysorbate 20 was administered by subcutaneous injection every 2 or 4 weeks.
