June 19, 2013 updated by: Genentech, Inc.

A Continued Access Protocol to Provide Xolair® (Omalizumab) to Subjects With Severe Allergic Asthma Who Have Received Xolair Treatment in a Previous Investigational Study

This is a continued access protocol to provide subjects who have completed Genentech, Inc. Study Q2143g, Q2195g, or Q2461g or Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation Study CIGE025 0010E1 with continued Xolair treatment. Subject eligibility will be based on disease severity and asthma deterioration upon withdrawal of Xolair treatment. Subjects whose last Xolair dose was <9 months prior to screening visit will continue with the same Xolair dosing regimen that they received in the previous Genentech or Novartis clinical study.
