A Description of Inflammatory Cell Types in Moderate to Severe Pediatric Asthma: Eosinophilic and Non Eosinophilic Sputum Markers While on Anti-IgE Therapy (Xolair)
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating ANTI-IGE THERAPY (XOLAIR) for ALLERGIC ASTHMA. Completed, enrolled 13 participants.
Detailed Summary
The researcher proposes to assess levels of sputum inflammatory markers (eosinophils, eosinophil cationic protein (ECP), neutrophils IL-8) before and while on anti-IgE therapy in a pediatric population of moderate to severe asthmatics who have ongoing persistent asthma symptoms despite on moderate to high doses of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). Associations will be assessed between the types of sputum inflammatory markers and the patient's atopic status and level of asthma control as indicated by the following measures: 1. pulmonary function test (PFT) 2. asthma symptoms based on the Asthma Control Test (ACT)

Timeline
Interventions
Xolair dosing is based on body weight and baseline serum total IgE concentration(0.016 x kg body weight x IgE levels), with a maximum dose per 4 weeks of 750mg.Depending on their weight and IgE levels, patients get their Xolair shots every 2 or every 4 weeks.
