Course Description:
Exacerbations, lung function, medication use, daily activities – there are many ways in which asthma control can be assessed. In this CE-accredited webcast, expert faculty take a close look at how providers, patients, and payers are defining asthma control, and how new therapies are showing promise to improve patient outcomes. Patient scenarios illustrate clinical conundrums often faced by payer organizations and providers in daily practice and provide an opportunity to explore the implications of biomarkers, comorbidities, and patient factors for treatment decision-making.

Learning Objectives:
• Assess clinical measures of asthma control—including exacerbations, lung function, quality of life, and oral corticosteroid use—to guide managed care decision-making on treatment response and necessary adjustments
• Differentiate the indications, efficacy and safety profiles, and utility of new and emerging biologic therapies for uncontrolled, moderate-to-severe asthma
• Develop frameworks for applying biomarker testing, comorbidities, and other clinical factors to appropriate selection of different biologic therapies for patients with asthma.
