Early Biologic Therapy Sharply Cuts Asthma Attacks in Kids

New real-world data shows biologic therapies dramatically reduce severe asthma exacerbations in children, with the strongest benefits seen when treatment begins earlier in life.

Key Takeaways

Children starting biologics at younger ages showed the greatest reduction in severe asthma attacks
Real-world data fills critical evidence gap that clinical trials alone could not address
