Allergic Asthma: Adults and adolescents (12 years of age and above): Xolair (omalizumab) is indicated for adults and adolescents (12 years of age and above) with moderate to severe persistent allergic asthma whose symptoms are inadequately controlled with inhaled corticosteroids (ICS).
Children (6 to <12 years of age): Xolair is indicated as add-on therapy to improve asthma control with severe persistent allergic asthma who have a positive skin test or in vitro reactivity to a perennial aeroallergen and frequent daytime symptoms or night-time awakenings and who have had multiple documented severe asthma exacerbations despite daily high-dose inhaled corticosteroids, plus a long-acting inhaled beta2-agonist.
Xolair has been shown to decrease the incidence of asthma exacerbations in these patients. Safety and efficacy have not been established in other allergic conditions.
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP): Xolair is indicated as an add-on therapy with intranasal corticosteroids (INC) for the treatment of adults (18 years and above) with CRSwNP for whom therapy with INC does not provide adequate disease control.
Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU): Xolair is indicated as add-on therapy for the treatment of chronic spontaneous urticaria in adult and adolescent (12 years and above) patients with inadequate response to H1 antihistamine treatment.
