So, ICS reduction down to a daily low dose seems v feasible, but less ICs than that could be iffy in the longer term.

But as ICS dose went down, FeNO went up and FEV1 reduced a bit, to the point where those who went down to an AIR approach had lost >100ml of lung function by study end.

Short answer is that it seems you can, but up to a point. >60% were able to wean their Symbicort all the way down to being used only as needed symptomatically, without loss of symptom control or a return of exacerbations

Surreal - but exciting - to see a study which started life on the back of a beer mat ending up in the Lancet. https://t.co/3sGjl7hswi With SHAMAL we wanted to find out if we could safely wean inhaled steroid in severe asthma patients with a good response to benralizumab
