Session Description

Therapeutic goals in asthma have evolved with the development and marketing of new and highly effective drugs. Remission is now regarded as the new standard to achieve. But is it really achievable? And how can we define and identify it? Is it really relevant for the clinical practice?

The presentation will try to answer these key questions regarding remission.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this presentation, attendees will be able to:

  • Differentiate remission from clinical response and control in patients with severe asthma on biologic therapy
  • Recognize remission when encountered in patients with asthma in clinical practice
  • Modulate the asthma treatment to achieve clinical remission
