Advancing Precision Medicine in Asthma: Evolution of Treatment Outcomes

The article discusses the historical evolution of asthma treatment and highlights recent advancements in personalized medicine, specifically the use of biologics in severe asthma therapy and its potential combination with allergen immunotherapy (AIT). One of the major breakthroughs of biologics is their potential effect on airway remodeling, a crucial aspect of asthma chronicity. The article introduces the concept of Disease Modifying Anti Asthmatic Drugs (DMAADs), which aim to modify the course of asthma and possibly modulate or prevent airway remodeling.
