About this trial

The information recorded will provide:
1. The collection of homogeneous clinical, functional and biologic data of patients with severe asthma in a real life setting. 2. The evaluation of adherence to treatment in real life. 3. The clinical eligibility of patients treated with biologics. 4. The evaluation of patients' clinical response to each treatment. 5. The monitoring of tolerability and safety. 6. The long-term follow up of patients with severe asthma.
