Long-acting beta2 agonist (LABA) / long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) fixed-dose combinations (FDCs) are gaining traction in the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) market, threatening the position of both LAMAs and LABAs / inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs). 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 (e.g., Trelegy, Breztri). The launch and uptake of generic versions of blockbuster inhaled drugs (e.g., salmeterol / fluticasone, formoterol / budesonide and albuterol sulfate) increases the affordability of treatment, further changing prescribing patterns.
