Conditions
Summary
The mainstay of asthma treatment are ICSs, mostly combined with LABA. In the past decade LAMA had been accepted as an add-on treatment for patients at GINA steps 4 and 5. Recently, RCTs proved the efficacy and safety of fixed triple combinations of moderate and high dose of ICS and LABA, LAMA in a very selected asthmatic population, resulting in the market authorisation of these products. However, there is a lack of evidence on the real-world effectiveness of these therapies, especially with regards to improvement in symptom scores and adherence.
