MARKET OUTLOOK

Long-acting beta₂ agonist (LABA)/long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) fixed-dose combinations (FDCs) are gaining traction in the COPD market, and both LAMAs and LABA/inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) FDCs are threatened by uptake of these therapies. However, many patients persist on long-acting therapies for long periods of time before switching, making it difficult for new therapies to gain a foothold. Due to the progressive and irreversible nature of COPD, many patients eventually end up being prescribed a combination including a LABA, LAMA, and ICS, giving the first triple therapy combination in its class, Trelegy, a promising market position.
