Indacaterol/glycopyrronium/mometasone (Enerzair Breezhaler) is a fixed-dose combination of the long-acting β agonist (LABA) indacaterol, the long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) glycopyrronium and the inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) mometasone furoate (hereafter referred to as mometasone) delivered via a capsule-based dry-powder inhaler. It is approved in the EU for use as maintenance treatment in adult patients with inadequately controlled asthma who had experienced one or more exacerbations in the previous year. The approval also includes an optional digital companion (sensor and app) that provides data on the patient's use of the inhaler. In the 52-week IRIDIUM trial in patients with inadequately controlled asthma, indacaterol/glycopyrronium/mometasone improved lung function to a greater extent than LABA/ICS combinations (i.e. indacaterol/mometasone and fluticasone propionate/salmeterol), but superiority in Asthma Control Questionnaire 7 score was not shown. In the 24-week ARGON trial, indacaterol/glycopyrronium/mometasone via a single inhaler was non-inferior to fluticasone propionate/salmeterol + tiotropium via two inhalers with regard to Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire score. Indacaterol/glycopyrronium/mometasone was generally well tolerated, and the most common adverse events were respiratory in nature. In conclusion, combination therapy with indacaterol/glycopyrronium/mometasone represents a valuable option for the maintenance treatment of asthma, with the convenience of once-daily administration via a single inhaler.

Introduction: Suboptimal adherence to inhaled asthma therapy is associated with poor clinical outcomes. Digital companion paired inhaler devices record medication use and provide reminders, thereby improving treatment adherence and asthma outcomes. This analysis assessed the impact of indacaterol/glycopyrronium/mometasone furoate (IND/GLY/MF) Breezhaler digital companion on medication adherence and symptom control in adults with asthma from Germany.

Cough is a major symptom in patients with asthma and poses a significant burden compared with other asthma symptoms. However, there are no approved treatments in Japan, developed to specifically treat cough in patients with asthma. We present the design of REACH, an 8-week real-life study, which will evaluate the efficacy of a combination of indacaterol acetate, glycopyrronium bromide and mometasone furoate (IND/GLY/MF) in asthmatic patients with cough refractory to medium-dose inhaled corticosteroid/long-acting β-agonist (ICS/LABA).

Introduction: Asthma symptoms can be relieved through a maintenance treatment combining long-acting β-agonist and inhaled corticosteroids (LABA/ICS). However, for patients with inadequately controlled asthma, the LABA/ICS combination might not be sufficient, and clinical guidelines recommend the administration of inhaled long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA) as an add-on therapy to better control asthma and improve lung function. For nearly two decades, the only LAMA to be approved on the market has been tiotropium.

Introduction: Fixed-dose long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA)/inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) combinations and add-on therapies as needed are the mainstay for maintenance therapy in asthma. However, more than 40% of patients have an inadequately controlled disease. The development of triple fixed-dose combinations consisting of long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA)/LABA/ICS has paved the way for a new approach to reach therapeutic goals of an optimal control of symptoms and an effective prevention of future exacerbations.

Background And Objective: Clinical evidence suggests no clinically relevant pharmacokinetic interactions between indacaterol (IND), glycopyrronium (GLY) and mometasone furoate (MF). A population pharmacokinetic (popPK) analysis was conducted to identify structural models describing systemic pharmacokinetic profiles of IND, GLY and MF, and estimate the effect of covariates on their pharmacokinetics following inhalation as IND/GLY/MF.
Methods: Pharmacokinetic data from 698 patients with asthma were pooled from two Phase III studies that evaluated IND/MF medium- (150/160 µg) and high-dose (150/320 µg), IND/GLY/MF medium- (150/50/80 μg) and high-dose (150/50/160 μg), and a device bridging Phase II study with MF.
