Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this registry is collecting data of severe asthma patients, recruited by specialized centers, in a real life setting, homogeneously placed on a database management system to follow them over the time.

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.
