Asthma | Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis | Adult Asthma | US | 2024

Two types of pharmacotherapy are used to treat adult asthma: rescue drugs and maintenance therapies. Rescue drugs are inhaled therapies that treat the acute symptoms of asthma via bronchodilation (e.g., a SABA such as Teva’s ProAir HFA). Maintenance therapies are inhaled, oral, or biological drugs that are used to prevent exacerbations by targeting the underlying pathophysiology (e.g., a LABA/ICS such as GlaxoSmithKline’s Advair, an anti-IL-5 agent such as AstraZeneca’s Fasenra). Many adult patients receive several agents to treat their asthma. Although multiple well-established therapies are available, the market has seen the approval and launch of even more agents, including novel biologics (e.g., AstraZeneca’s Tezspire) and generic versions of blockbuster inhaled drugs (e.g., albuterol sulfate, formoterol / budesonide). These launches have added treatment options and fueled more-intense competition in this market.
