Long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMAs) are a class of inhalers that has recently been included as add-on therapy in the GINA guidelines, either in a single inhaler device with inhaled corticosteroids plus long-acting β2-agonists (ICS + LABA) (closed triple inhaler therapy) or in a separate one (open triple inhaler therapy). This review summarizes the existing evidence on the addition of LAMAs in patients with persistently uncontrolled asthma despite ICS + LABA treatment based on clinical efficacy in the reduction of asthma symptoms and exacerbations, the improvement in lung function, and its safety profile.
长效毒蕈碱拮抗剂(LAMA)是一类吸入剂,最近已被纳入 GINA 指南的附加治疗药物,无论是与吸入皮质类固醇和长效β2-激动剂(ICS + LABA)联合使用的单一吸入装置(密闭三联吸入疗法),还是单独使用(开放三联吸入疗法)。这篇综述总结了基于 LAMA 对接受 ICS + LABA 治疗后仍未得到控制的哮喘患者的临床疗效(降低哮喘症状和恶化,改善肺功能)和安全性概况方面的现有证据,评估了 LAMA 在此类患者中的应用。
