Abstract
Advances in knowledge about clinical features, physiology, and underlying immunology are leading to targeted therapies and a new era of therapies. Biological treatments for severe asthma have changed the way this disease is managed, especially in patients who do not respond adequately to conventional treatments with corticosteroids and bronchodilators. These treatments block the action of different molecules involved in the immune response and in the inflammation of the airways, bronchoconstriction, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and excessive mucus production. Currently, there are sufficient real-life data to corroborate the good results obtained in clinical trials by these type of drugs for severe asthma patients. Observational studies reveal their efficacy and safety, reducing exacerbations, leading to fewer emergency room visits and hospitalizations, and improving quality of life with better asthma control and better functional status.
