• History of anaphylaxis to any biologic therapy
• Any other pulmonary disease than asthma that, in the investigator's point of view, would have an impact on the interpretation of results
• An acute or chronic condition that, in the investigator's point of view, would limit the patient's ability to complete questionnaires or participate in this study or impact the interpretations of results
• Current or history of malignancy within 5 years before the enrolment date with the following exceptions:
  • In-situ carcinoma of the cervix where curative therapy has been completed and patients are in remission for at least 12 months prior to enrolment date
