Short omalizumab treatment for severe allergic asthma
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether stopping omalizumab for a short time (or using it differently) can be safe for adults with severe allergic asthma who are doing well. It may help some people avoid long-term injections, but only if asthma remains well controlled.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be over 18 years old
- Have been taking omalizumab (OMA) for severe allergic asthma for at least 33 months, prescribed by a lung (pulmonary) specialist
- Your asthma is well controlled: your Asthma Control Test (ACT) score is 18 or higher
- In the past year, you had no more than one asthma flare-up that required steroid tablets or injections (at least 2 days) or doubling steroid doses for at least 2 days
- You must be able and willing to stop omalizumab as the study requires, and you should not be planning pregnancy or switching to another advanced asthma treatment
- You must have health insurance, follow treatments reliably, not be in another research study, and be willing to sign consent

This trial tests a new drug called tozorakimab for adults whose asthma is not well controlled despite using medium-to-high dose inhaled steroids. The study aims to find the best dose and see if it reduces asthma attacks.
This trial studies whether mepolizumab can reduce ongoing or returning asthma flare-ups in people with severe asthma. If you have severe asthma that still keeps flaring, this may help by targeting a specific inflammation pathway involved in some asthma cases.
This trial lets people who completed an earlier benralizumab study and are benefiting from the medicine keep receiving it. The goal is to provide ongoing access while we continue to monitor safety and effectiveness.
This trial tests if a new medicine, depemokimab, can help children aged 6 to 11 whose asthma is not well controlled with their current inhalers and who have a type of inflammation called eosinophilic asthma. It may reduce asthma attacks and improve symptoms.
This trial studies whether starting omalizumab before asthma flare-ups begin can reduce how often children get worsening asthma that needs strong steroid medicine. It is for children with persistent asthma who have signs of allergic/asthma triggers and recent flare-up history.
This trial tests if omalizumab, an allergy medication, can help people with COPD who have allergies to common indoor triggers like cat, dog, mouse, cockroach, or dust mite. It aims to reduce flare-ups and improve breathing.
