Asthma | Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis | Adult Asthma | US | 2021
Two types of pharmacotherapy are used to treat adult asthma: rescue therapy and maintenance therapy. Rescue therapy (e.g., a SABA such as ProAir HFA or its generics) treats the acute symptoms of asthma via bronchodilation; maintenance therapy (e.g., a LABA/ICS such as GSK’s Advair or AstraZeneca’s Symbicort) is used to prevent exacerbations by targeting the underlying pathophysiology. Many adult patients receive several agents to treat their asthma. Despite the availability of multiple well-established therapies for adult asthma, the treatment landscape has witnessed the approval and launch of even more agents, including novel biologics (e.g., Regeneron / Sanofi’s Dupixent) and generic versions of the blockbuster inhaled drugs (e.g., albuterol sulfate and salmeterol / fluticasone). These launches have added more treatment options and fueled more-intense competition in this market.
