Abstract
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the lower airways and is one of the most common chronic conditions during childhood. The management of severe asthmatic patients must be multidisciplinary, personalized, and holistic, especially in pediatrics. The therapeutic approach to asthmatic patients has evolved over the last years, targeting inflammatory cells and molecules. Such treatments mainly include biotherapies, and, in children, four monoclonal antibodies are presently available to treat severe asthma: omalizumab, mepolizumab, dupilumab and tezepelumab. These biotherapies have demonstrated short- and medium-term efficacy and safety in both adults and children.
