Abstract
- Purpose of Review: New biological agents, in addition to the well-established omalizumab, have been nowadays introduced into clinical practice for severe asthma. This suggested the possibility of an at-home self-administration, as currently happening for other biological agents for immune-mediated diseases.<br />Recent Findings: In the very recent years, there were structured clinical trials investigating the self at home administrations of biologicals for severe asthma, showing with different principles, a possible advantage and convenience for the patient, and a socioeconomic saving.<br />Summary: The literature analysis currently shows that the at-home self-administration of biologicals for severe asthma is a promising approach to improve the treatment of such disease.
