Medical Experts Detail Frameworks for Severe Asthma Remission, Early Biologic Use, and Guided Treatment De-Escalation
KOLKATA, OCTOBER 30, 2026 — Leading respiratory specialists and clinical experts convened for an in-depth scientific session titled "Remission in asthma: is it real?" to address shifting paradigms in severe asthma care and management. The proceedings evaluated complete clinical remission as an achievable goal in modern medical practice, emphasizing how targeted therapies are expanding treatment objectives beyond basic symptom relief toward sustained disease modification. Panelists underscored that asthma control must be evaluated across two distinct domains—symptomatic control (daytime symptoms, activity limitations, and nighttime awakenings) and future risk reduction. The scientific sessions highlighted structured clinical protocols for managing remission and guided treatment de-escalation. Experts noted that while escalation pathways (incorporating combinations, biologics, and bronchial thermoplasty) are well-established, stepping down therapy requires a scienti...
