What a Control-Based Asthma Management Strategy Looks Like

Program Overview

The introduction of biologics and updated understanding of asthma as a disease has changed our treatment approach to a more tailored, personalized strategy. This activity will take you through a pathophysiology-guided understanding of the various agents’ pharmacology. It will dive into a side-by-side exploration of safety and efficacy data for new and emerging treatments for asthma, reinforced by clinical case scenarios, expert commentary, interactive tools, and downloadable resources—all packaged and delivered in a visually impactful infographic design.
