Asthma is estimated to affect over 260 million people worldwide,1 and despite a range of available treatments, asthma continues to cause a substantial burden to patients and reduce their quality of life.2-4 Continued treatment optimisation using a patient-centric approach is crucial to addressing these unmet needs and improving patient outcomes.5 Clinical remission has emerged as an ambitious and achievable treatment goal in the asthma management treatment paradigm5, targeting drivers of disease burden to restore patients’ health.3,4,6,7 In this global webinar for World Asthma Day 2025, leading respiratory experts Prof. Oppenheimer, Prof. William Busse, and Prof. Peter Gibson provide an overview of clinical remission in asthma, what it means to patients, and discuss how clinical remission can be implemented in routine practice.

  • Provide an overview of clinical remission as an ambitious and achievable treatment goal in asthma and what it means for patients
  • Demonstrate achievability of clinical remission and discuss strategies to help patients achieve clinical remission
  • Provide insights on how clinical remission can be implemented as a treatment goal for all patients in routine practice, regardless of disease severity and treatment history
