Short Treatment with Omalizumab for Severe Asthma

NCT04763447 · Status: RECRUITING · Phase: PHASE4 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 234

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

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".

The costs related to OMA are high and frequent injections represent severe constraints for patients. For all these reasons, evaluating whether shortening duration of OMA therapy is feasible while maintaining acceptable asthma control is a critical point. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate asthma control after OMA discontinuation after at least 33 months of treatment when asthma is well controlled.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Attempt to withdrawal OMA treatment

Patients will be told to stop abruptly (no progressive decrease of the dose) their Omalizumab treatment and they will not be prescribed new OMA. In case of loss of control, pulmonologist can adapt asthma treatment, as in usual care. In that case, OMA can be prescribed for a second line

DRUG

Continuation of OMA treatment

Patients will be prescribed the same dosage of Omalizumab than they received before randomization, according to their weight and total circulating IgE levels. In case of safety concerns or loss of control, pulmonologist can modify the patient treatment regimen of OMA or other co-medications, as in usual care.
