Bronchial asthma (BA) is one of the most common chronic diseases, characterized by airway inflammation and bronchospasm. Symptoms of BA are wheezing, shortness of breath, a feeling of constriction in the chest and cough, the frequency and severity of which vary greatly over time. Today studies of BA phenotypes allow selecting treatment depending on the particular pathogenesis of each phenotype individually, thereby helping to achieve control, which is the main goal of BA therapy. However, it is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of airway innervation, since an increased parasympathetic tone is characteristics of all BA phenotypes and plays an important role in the development of bronchoconstriction and inflammation. Therefore, tiotropium bromide, which is a long-acting blocker of muscarinic cholinergic receptors, is one of the main bronchodilators in the treatment of BA. It blocks bronchoconstriction, hypersecretion and swelling of the mucous membrane of the airway, which in turn prevents the progression of inflammation, and the prolonged action of tiotropium bromide, which allows it to be used once a day helps to achieve control of asthma in addition to basic inhalation therapy - inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) long-acting P2-agonists (LABA). According to GINA (Global Initiative for Asthma), tiotropium bromide is recommended as an additional treatment, starting from step 4, and in accordance with the Russian Federal Clinical Guidelines for Bronchial Asthma - from step 3. Currently, according to clinical studies, much is known about the mechanisms of action and biological properties of tiotropium bromide, which made it possible to substantiate the needs for its administration to patients with BA regardless of its phenotype. This strategy will contribute to a more successful control of BA considering risk factors and comorbidity, thereby reducing needs of increasing ICS dose.

Бронхиальная астма (БА) это одно из наиболее распространенных хронических заболеваний, характеризующееся воспалением дыхательных путей (ДП) и бронхоспазмом. Симптомами БА являются хрипы, одышка, ощущение сдавливания в грудной клетке и кашель, частота и степень тяжести которых сильно варьируют с течением времени. На сегодняшний день изучение фенотипов БА позволяет подбирать лечение в зависимости от особенностей патогенеза каждого фенотипа в отдельности, тем самым помогая достичь контроля, что является основной целью терапии БА. Однако необходимо учитывать особенности иннервации ДП, так как повышенный парасимпатический (холинергический) тонус характерен для всех фенотипов БА и играет важную роль в развитии бронхоконстрикции и воспаления. Поэтому тиотропия бромид, являющийся блокатором мускариновых холинорецепторов длительного действия, один из основных бронхолитических препаратов в лечении БА. Он блокирует развитие бронхоконстрикции, гиперсекреции и отека слизистой оболочки ДП, что в свою очередь предотвращает прогрессирование воспаления, а продолжительное действие тиотропия бромида, позволяющее применять его один раз в сутки, помогает обеспечивать контроль БА на фоне базисной ингаляционной терапии ингаляционные глюкокортикостероиды (ИГКС)/Р2агонисты длительного действия (ДДБА). Согласно GINA (Global Initiative for Asthma Глобальная стратегия лечения и профилактики бронхиальной астмы), тиотропия бромид рекомендован в качестве дополнительного лечения, начиная с 4й ступени, а в соответствии с Федеральными клиническими рекомендациями по бронхиальной астме (2018) с 3й ступени. В настоящее время благодаря проведенным клиническим исследованиям многое известно о механизмах действия и биологических свойствах тиотропия бромида, что позволило обосновать необходимость его назначения пациентам с БА независимо от ее фенотипа. Эта стратегия будет способствовать более успешному контролю БА с учетом факторов риска и сопутствующей патологии, тем самым снижая необходимость в увеличении дозы ИГКС.Bronchial asthma (BA) is one of the most common chronic diseases, characterized by airway inflammation and bronchospasm.

The Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) Strategy Report provides clinicians with an annually updated evidence-based strategy for asthma management and prevention, which can be adapted for local circumstances (e.g., medication availability). This article summarizes key recommendations from GINA 2021, and the evidence underpinning recent changes.GINA recommends that asthma in adults and adolescents should not be treated solely with short-acting beta2-agonist (SABA), because of the risks of SABA-only treatment and SABA overuse, and evidence for benefit of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). Large trials show that as- needed combination ICS-formoterol reduces severe exacerbations by >60% in mild asthma compared with SABA alone, with similar exacerbation, symptom, lung function and inflammatory outcomes as daily ICS plus as-needed SABA.Key changes in GINA 2021 include division of the treatment figure for adults and adolescents into two tracks. Track 1 (preferred) has low-dose ICS-formoterol as the reliever at all steps: as-needed only in Steps 1-2 (mild asthma), and with daily maintenance ICS-formoterol (maintenance-and-reliever therapy, MART) in Steps 3-5. Track 2 (alternative) has as-needed SABA across all steps, plus regular ICS (Step 2) or ICS-long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA) (Steps 3-5). For adults with moderate-to-severe asthma, GINA makes additional recommendations in Step 5 for add-on long-acting muscarinic antagonists and azithromycin, with add-on biologic therapies for severe asthma. For children 6-11  years, new treatment options are added at Steps 3-4.Across all age-groups and levels of severity, regular personalized assessment, treatment of modifiable risk factors, self-management education, skills training, appropriate medication adjustment and review remain essential to optimize asthma outcomes.

Meta Analyses

Abstract The Global Initiative for Asthma recommends a stepwise approach to adjust asthma treatment to the needs of individual patients; inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) remain the core pharmacological treatment. However, many patients remain poorly controlled, and evidence-based algorithms to decide on the best order and rationale for add-on therapies are lacking. We explore the challenges of asthma management in primary care and review outcomes from randomised controlled trials and meta-analyses comparing the long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) tiotropium with long-acting β2-agonists (LABAs) or leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRAs) as add-on to ICS in patients with asthma. In adults, LAMAs and LABAs provide a greater improvement in lung function than LTRAs as add-on to ICS. In children, results were positive and comparable between therapies, but data are scarce. This information could aid decision-making in primary care, supporting the use of add-on therapy to ICS to help improve lung function, control asthma symptoms and prevent exacerbations.

The new guidelines of the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) has inspired a heated discussion among experts. The next version was published in 2018, but its revision appeared as early as in 2019. This is primarily due to the revision of the attitude towards short-acting beta-2-agonists, however, the approaches have changed significantly at other stages of bronchial asthma treatment as well, especially at the early stages. The emphasis has been placed on low-dose inhaled corticosteroids, as they have accumulated an evidence base at an adequate quality level. In fact, the 2019 GINA proposals are reduced to discontinuation of the common clinical practice and switching to fundamentally different approaches to the management of bronchial asthma, especially its mild form.

New biologics are being continually developed for paediatric asthma, but it is unclear whether there are sufficient numbers of children in Europe with severe asthma and poor control to recruit to trials needed for registration. To address these questions, the European Respiratory Society funded the Severe Paediatric Asthma Collaborative in Europe (SPACE), a severe asthma registry. We report the first analysis of the SPACE registry, which includes data from 10 paediatric respiratory centres across Europe.Data from 80 children with a clinical diagnosis of severe asthma who were receiving both high-dose inhaled corticosteroid and long-acting β2-agonist were entered into the registry between January 2019 and January 2020. Suboptimal control was defined by either asthma control test, or Global Initiative for Asthma criteria, or ≥2 severe exacerbations in the previous 12 months, or a combination.Overall, 62 out of 80 (77%) children had suboptimal asthma control, of whom 29 were not prescribed a biologic. However, in 24 there was an option for starting a licensed biologic. 33 children with suboptimal control were prescribed a biologic (omalizumab (n=24), or mepolizumab (n=7), or dupilumab (n=2)), and for 29 there was an option to switch to a different biologic.We conclude that the SPACE registry provides data that will support the planning of studies of asthma biologics. Not all children on biologics achieve good asthma control, and there is need for new trial designs addressing biologic switching.

Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease guidelines support the prescription of fixed combination inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and long-acting β-agonists in symptomatic COPD patients with frequent or severe exacerbations, with the aim of preventing them. ICS are frequently also prescribed to COPD patients with mild or moderate airflow limitation, outside guidelines, with the risk of unwanted effects. No investigation to date has addressed the views of these milder COPD patients on ICS withdrawal. The objective is to assess the views of COPD patients with mild or moderate airflow limitation on the staged withdrawal of ICS prescribed outside guidelines. One-to-one semi-structured qualitative interviews exploring COPD patients’ views about ICS use and their attitudes to proposed de-prescription were conducted. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis was completed. Seventeen eligible COPD patients were interviewed. Many participants were not aware they were using an ICS. None was aware that prevention of exacerbations was the indication for ICS therapy or the risk of associated side effects. Some were unconcerned by what they perceived as low individual risk. Others expressed fears of worsening symptoms on withdrawal. Most with mild or moderate airflow limitation would have been willing to attempt withdrawal or titration to a lower dosage of ICS if advised by their clinician, particularly if a reasoned explanation were offered. Attitudes in this study to discontinuing ICS use varied. Knowledge of the drug itself, the indications for its prescription in COPD and potential for side effects, was scant. The proposed withdrawal of ICS is likely to be challenging and requires detailed conversations between patients and respiratory healthcare professionals.

Underlying Inflammation

Abstract Background Overuse of short-acting beta-2 agonists (SABA), which do not treat the underlying inflammation of asthma, is linked to poor clinical outcomes such as increased exacerbation risk. This study, as part of the SABINA program, estimated the prevalence of SABA overuse and associated variables in outpatients in Germany. Methods This retrospective study used anonymized electronic healthcare data from the Disease Analyzer database (IQVIA). A total of 15,640 patients aged ≥ 12 years with asthma who received ≥ 1 SABA prescription(s) between July 2017 and June 2018 in 924 general physician and 22 pneumologist (PN) practices were included. SABA overuse was defined as ≥ 3 prescribed inhalers (~ 200 puffs each) during the study period. The associations between SABA overuse and physician specialty, Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) steps (based on asthma medications), age, sex, and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)/long-acting beta agonist (LABA) use were estimated using multivariable regression for patients with probable moderate (GINA step 2) and probable severe (GINA steps 3–5) asthma. Results Annually, 36% of all patients (GINA steps 1–5) in general and 38% in PN practices received ≥ 3 SABA inhalers. The risk of SABA overuse was 14% higher in patients treated by a general practitioner vs. a PN; 34% and 85% higher in GINA steps 4 and 5, respectively, vs. GINA step 3; and 40% higher in male vs. female patients. Conclusions SABA overuse is prevalent among patients with asthma across all GINA steps in Germany, which may indicate suboptimal asthma control. Further studies are needed to investigate the reasons behind SABA overuse.

Objective: Evaluate the presence of association between the classification of the level of asthma control, using the method proposed by the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA), the Asthma Control Test (ACT)/Childhood-ACT and the forced expiratory volume in the 1st second (FEV1), in asthmatic children and adolescents treated with inhaled corticosteroids, followed up at the National Institute of Women's, Children's and Adolescents' Health FernandesFigueira of the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (IFF / FIOCRUZ). Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out with a review of the medical records of all children between 7 and 17 years of age followed up at the Asthma Outpatient Clinic and referred to the Respiratory Insertion Test (PFR) sector between March 2013 and September 2014. In the same day were applied the C-ACT/ACT questionnaires, an asthma control method proposed by the GINA and the FEV1 value in a spirometrictest. Results: From the total number of records evaluated (72), 16 children were excluded because they did not meet the required criteria for performing spirometry. The sample studied (56 children) was predominantly male (58.9%) and median age was 12 (7-17) years. It was observed an association between FEV1 and GINA values ??(p <0.01). Conclusion: The results found in this study indicate that FEV1 measurement is a useful component among the instruments for assessing clinical control of asthma by GINA.
