Asthma | Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis | Adult Asthma | US | 2019

Pharmacotherapy for adult asthma has two main goals: address underlying airway inflammation and promote bronchodilation. Two types of therapy are used to achieve these goals—maintenance therapy (e.g., a LABA/ICS, such as GSK’s Advair or AstraZeneca’s Symbicort) and rescue therapy (e.g., a SABA, such as albuterol)—and most adult asthma patients receive more than one drug to treat their condition. Although multiple well-established agents are available for both maintenance and rescue treatment, in the past few years, the adult asthma treatment landscape has witnessed the approval of the first branded-generic LABA/ICS FDC (i.e., Teva’s AirDuo and its generic), the first LAMA (i.e., Boehringer-Ingelheim’s Spiriva), and several novel biologics (e.g., GSK’s Nucala, Teva’s Cinqair). The availability of these agents has expanded physicians’ treatment arsenal and fueled increasing competition in the asthma therapy market.
