Current participant exclusion criteria as of 10/09/2020:

2. Known hypersensitivity to Omalizumab or Mepolizumab or to any of the excipients
3. History of drug or other allergy, which, in the opinion of the responsible physician, contra-indicates their participation
4. Pregnant, lactating or within 6 weeks post-partum or breast feeding
5. Participated within 3 months in a study using a new molecular entity, another study investigating drugs or in a study with invasive procedures
6. Significant alternative diagnoses that may mimic or complicate asthma, in particular dysfunctional breathing, panic attacks, and overt psychosocial problems (if these are thought to be the main diagnosis; they can be present in addition to asthma major problem rather than in addition to severe asthma)
