In this brief program, expert faculty will discuss the application of new options to improve outcomes for those with moderate to severe asthma. First, the faculty will describe the features of uncontrolled asthma and asthma phenotypes. Next, case studies will be used to aid in identification of patients with severe asthma for whom use of add-on biologic therapy may be appropriate based on efficacy, safety, and disease- and patient-specific factors. Finally, the faculty will share approaches to shared decision-making with patients that result in written action plans and strategies for addressing adherence and multidisciplinary management of asthma and its comorbidities.
