Clinical Advances in

Treatment of Moderate to Severe Asthma

The treatment landscape for asthma continues to evolve, with recent advances in therapies and inhaler technology. Triple fixed-dose ICS/LABA/LAMA therapy has demonstrated improved asthma outcomes vs dual therapy. Biologics have shown clinical benefits in severe asthma and a common comorbidity, CRSwNP. The COVID-19 pandemic poses an additional challenge. Clinicians need guidance in optimizing therapy based on disease characteristics, comorbidities, and patient preferences, so they can effectively control asthma by implementing the latest clinical evidence into their treatment decision making process.
