Asthma | Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis | Pediatric Asthma | US | 2023

Pediatric asthma is treated using two types of pharmacotherapies: rescue therapy for acute symptoms via bronchodilation (e.g., a SABA such as Teva’s ProAir HFA) and maintenance therapy to prevent exacerbations by targeting the underlying pathophysiology (e.g., a LABA / ICS such as GSK’s Advair or an anti-IL-5 agent such as AstraZeneca’s Symbicort). Many pediatric asthma patients receive more than one agent for their condition. Despite the availability of multiple well-established therapies, the pediatric asthma treatment landscape has seen the approval and launch of additional agents in recent years, including novel biologics (e.g., Regeneron / Sanofi’s Dupixent) and generic versions of blockbuster inhaled drugs (e.g., albuterol sulfate and salmeterol / fluticasone propionate). These events have added more treatment options and fueled competition in this market.
