SAN DIEGO — Patients with asthma who used depemokimab tolerated treatment well while experiencing reductions in rates of clinically significant exacerbations, according to a poster abstract presented here.

BOSTON — Patients with mild asthma lowered their severe exacerbation risk by almost half by using as-needed albuterol-budesonide, according to data presented at the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Annual Scientific Meeting.

BOSTON — Patients hospitalized with both asthma exacerbations and COVID-19 had worse outcomes than those hospitalized for either of those conditions alone, according to a poster presented at the CHEST Annual Meeting.

Patients who have frequent asthma exacerbations are at greater risks for cumulative doses of corticosteroids, multiple comorbidities and mortality, according to a poster presented at the European Respiratory Society International Congress.
