Asthma is an important chronic disease affecting a lot of people worldwide. Treatment options for asthma like biological agents are being developed more frequently nowadays. Despite a lot of treatment options, some patients still remain symptomatic. As more and more practitioners choose treatment with biologic agents as a convenient way of therapy, biologic agents and other valuable methods must be discovered in order to cope with a growing number of treatment agents. This manuscript emphasizes on new generation monoclonal human(ized) antibodies in asthmatics and off-label use . The first developed biologic agent is the anti-immunoglobulin E monoclonal antibody called omalizumab. Currently it is an approved treatment option for asthma.
