A Pilot Study Investigating the Effect of Omalizumab (Xolair) in Work-Related Animal Induced Asthma

July 8, 2019 updated by: Jonathan A. Bernstein, MD, Bernstein Clinical Research Center
Management of animal induced occupational asthma is mainly avoidance, but this is not feasible for many occupations. Treatment with avoidance and conventional treatment is also not always successful. Omalizumab is FDA approved for the treatment of allergic asthma and may be effective at reducing symptoms and disease progression in the animal handlers population.
