Analysis of 223,704 adult patients in the MarketScan Database (2012–2017)
– Average observation period before treatment escalation: 3.1 years
– LABA pharmacy fills ≥1 increased from 1% in 2012 to 7% in 2017
– Patients filling ≤90‐days’ cumulative supply of LABA: 35.2%
Treatment Patterns– Added LAMA without adding a biologic or prior to adding a biologic: 9.4%• Primary trend across pulmonologists
– Added a biologic without adding a LAMA or prior to adding a LAMA: 0.9%• Primary trend across allergists
– Added a biologic after adding LAMA: 3.6%– Patients initiating biologic treatment with no prior LAMA prescription: 72.7%

Meta‐Analysis of SA Patients from the DREAM, MENSA, SIRIUS, and MUSCA Trials with Comorbid UAD (allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, or nasal polyposis)
• 59% of patients with SA reported ≥1 UAD comorbidity – Allergic rhinitis most frequent
• Reduction of exacerbations vs. placebo– Relative risk with UAD 0.49 (95% CI 0.41, 0.58), without UAD 0.55 (95% CI 0.44, 0.69)
• ACQ score improvement vs. placebo–With UAD 0.35 (95% CI 0.23, 0.48), without UAD 0.29 (95% CI 0.14, 0.44)
• SGRQ score improvement vs. placebo–With UAD 7.5 point (95% CI 5.2, 9.8), without UAD 6.1 point (95% CI 3.2, 9.1)
