Virtual Trial Shows Combo Rescue Inhaler
Nearly Halves Severe Asthma Attacks
Researchers randomly assigned 2,421 trial patients to use either this combination therapy or albuterol alone after asthma attacks and found that 5.1% of Airsupra users and 9.1% of albuterol-only users suffered the sort of severe exacerbation that required hospitalization or other immediate medical care.
“That’s a big reduction that could greatly increase quality-of-life for people with mild asthma,” said Reynold Panettieri, an investigator involved in the study and vice chancellor for translational medicine and science at Rutgers. “It could also produce cost savings by avoiding hospital visits and eliminating the need for many patients to take daily treatments.” Read the Full Article
Dr. Panettieri is the Director of NJ ACTS and the Vice Chancellor of Clinical and Translational Research for Rutgers Health.
