Severe asthma, which is poorly controlled despite the elimination of modifiable
factors and the correct use of standard therapy, accounts only for 5% of people
with asthma but it contributes to approximately 50% of the economic costs of
asthma. Because of this unmet need, novel therapies have been developed for
optimal treatment of these patients. The use of tiotropium, omalizumab,
mepolizumab and thermoplasty in well-selected patients provides better control
and most importantly a reduction in asthma exacerbations.
