Background: Patients with poorly controlled asthma have greater morbidity and mortality. This study evaluated the efficacy and tolerability of omalizumab in patients with poorly controlled, moderate-to-severe allergic asthma.Methods: This was a randomized, open-label, multicentre, parallel-group study. A total of 312 patients (12-73 years) receiving greater than or equal to400 mug/day (adolescent) or greater than or equal to800 mug/day (adult) inhaled beclomethasone dipropionate, or equivalent were included. Patients received best standard care (BSC) with or without omalizumab [at least 0.016 mg/kg/IgE (IU/ml) every 4 weeks] for 12 months.results: The annualized mean number of asthma deterioration-related incidents was reduced from 9.76 with BSC alone (n = 106) to 4.92 per patient-year with omalizumab (n = 206) (P < 0.001). Mean clinically significant asthma exacerbation rates were 2.86 and 1.12 per patient-year, respectively (P < 0.001). Omalizumab-treated patients (41.4%) required rescue medication
