- For patients in the Xolair-treated cohort, have received at least one dose of Xolair therapy at the time of enrollment
You may not qualify if:
- Contraindication to Xolair therapy (e.g., patients who experienced a severe hypersensitivity reaction to Xolair)
- Acute asthma exacerbation within the previous 2 weeks of screening requiring any of the following: initiation of systemic corticosteroids, increased doses of systemic corticosteroids from baseline, doubling of inhaled corticosteroids, emergency room visit, or hospitalization
- Acute flare of significant systemic disease (e.g., infection, hematologic, renal, hepatic, cardiovascular diseases, or gastrointestinal diseases), or a recent hospitalization because of their disease within the previous 2 months
