Will responding to treatment mean a patient wont have any further asthma attacks?
Although omalizumab can improve symptoms of those patients with severe asthma who respond, this does not guarantee freedom from worsening attacks. Asthma is complex and reducing the effect of allergy is only one part of treating the condition. Evidence suggests that patients who respond can expect a significant improvement in their quality of life and their asthma symptoms. However the response will vary from person to person.
