Notes for Editors
About ICS/SABA – fluticasone/albuterol (TEV-‘248)
Short-Acting Beta-Agonists (SABAs) are used for the treatment of asthma symptoms providing rapid relief. SABAs do not address the underlying inflammation, which can lead to SABA overuse and poor clinical outcomes, including a correlation with increased mortality. This evidence has led the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) to stop recommending the use of SABA alone for patients with asthma. Instead, combining SABA with Inhaled Corticosteroids (ICS) is safer and more effective, addressing both immediate symptoms and long-term inflammation, leading to improved asthma management, including a significant reduction in the risk of severe exacerbations (asthma attacks). Teva’s albuterol/fluticasone combination (TEV-‘248) is currently in Phase 3 clinical trials to demonstrate a reduction in severe exacerbations compared to reliever treatment with SABA alone (Study FpA-AS-30094) and the airway relaxation effect of albuterol in the combination product (Study FpA-AS-30093).
