Experimental: Xolair (Immunoglobulin E (IgE) = 30-300 IU/mL) Patients with screening Immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels = 30-300 IU/mL. Participants received subcutaneous injections of Xolair (Omalizumab) every 2 weeks or every 4 weeks; dosage dependent on IgE level and body weight. |

|
Experimental: Xolair (Immunoglobulin E (IgE) = 301-699 IU/mL) Patients with screening Immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels = 301- 699 IU/mL. Participants received subcutaneous injections of Xolair (Omalizumab) every 2 weeks; dosage dependent on IgE level and body weight. |

|
Placebo Comparator: Placebo By subcutaneous injection of a solution with a concentration of 125 mg/mL placebo in a supine position: Patients in Xolair (Immunoglobulin E (IgE) = 30-300 IU/mL) group received doses of 150 mg to 375 mg of placebo every 2 or 4 weeks for 12 or 14 weeks. Patients in Xolair (Immunoglobulin E (IgE) = 700- 2000 IU/mL) group received doses of 450 mg, 525 mg, or 600 mg of placebo every 2 weeks for 14 weeks. Patients in Xolair (Immunoglobulin E (IgE) = 301- 699 IU/mL) group received doses of 225 mg to 375 mg of placebo every 2 weeks for 6 weeks. |

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Early Phase Allergic Response After Treatment With Study Drug in Active and Placebo Patients [Week 8, Week 16]
The EAR was defined as the maximum percent drop in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) in the first 30 minutes after the challenge: EAR = 100* [ FEV1 (0) - Minimum FEV1 (10, 15, 30 min)] / FEV1 (0). For FEV1 (0), the "best post saline (Control) FEV1" was used. The EAR was analyzed using a linear (ANCOVA) model with a fixed effect for treatment groups and the EAR from the baseline challenge was used as a covariate.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Late Phase Allergic Response After Treatment With Study Drug in Active and Placebo Patients [Week 0, Week 8 and Week 16]
Late-phase allergic response (LAR) was only determined for those patients who had an LAR >= 15% at baseline allergen bronchoprovocation testing. For Forced Expiratory Volume, FEV1 (0), the "best post saline (Control) FEV1" was used. LAR (%) = 100*[FEV1 (0) - Minimum FEV1 (3-8h)]/FEV1 (0).
