Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease | Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis | US | 2024

Long-acting beta2 agonist (LABA) / long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) fixed-dose combinations (FDCs) have been gaining traction in the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) market, threatening the position of both LAMAs and LABA / inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) FDCs. Because of the progressive and irreversible nature of COPD, many patients eventually require more-aggressive treatment and are prescribed a combination of a LABA, a LAMA, and an ICS, providing a market opportunity for the triple-therapy combinations (i.e., Trelegy and Breztri). The launch and uptake of generic versions of blockbuster inhaled drugs (e.g., salmeterol / fluticasone, formoterol / budesonide, albuterol sulfate) increase the affordability of treatment, further changing prescribing patterns.
