In addition, there was a paucity of evidence for feasible alternatives. The work of GINA has cumulated in significant changes to asthma prevention and management protocols. From 2007, based on evidence that exacerbations were significantly reduced by low dose ICS–formoterol maintenance and reliever therapy in moderate–severe asthma [21] and, in a study by Papi et al.

Although the public health implications of these major changes in GINA recommendations remain to be studied, their potential is great, both in economically developed countries and in low income countries where access to ICS-containing medications, particularly as maintenance therapy, is limited or non-existent. However, the safety of ICS–formoterol has been established over many years, including with maintenance and reliever therapy [32], and no new safety signals emerged in the recent large studies [24, 25].

In parallel, extensive evidence emerged of the protective value of regular ICS, with a dramatic reduction in the risk of asthma-related hospitalisations and death [6, 7]. Even in resource-rich countries, despite the best efforts of health professionals, adherence to maintenance treatment with ICS in mild asthma remains a distant hope. Instead, they should receive either symptom-driven (in mild asthma) or daily ICS-containing treatment, to reduce their risk of serious exacerbations. 2019 Jun … 2019 Nov 21;54(5):1901860. doi: 10.1183/13993003.01860-2019.

However, adherence with ICS is poor in real life, often only 25–35% of the prescribed dose [15], leaving patients exposed to the risks of SABA-only treatment [16].

According to GINA 2019, there is a fundamental change to the management of mild asthma. [22]. GINA also provides additional as-needed controller options for Step 2 strategies that may reduce exacerbations, albeit with limited evidence. The new recommendations follow a decade-long programme of work by GINA, prompted by concerns about the risks and consequences of the long-standing approach of commencing asthma … Several treatment options for achieving this are recommended in the GINA 2019 strategy report (figure 1).

Currently, all of these as-needed strategies are technically “off-label”, as ICS, ICS–formoterol and ICS–SABA are indicated only for regular use in most countries.

Ko has nothing to disclose. Global Initiative for Asthma. The aim of the GINA proposals was to improve management of mild asthma by a strategy that would reduce the risk of severe exacerbations while also being concordant with patient behaviour, beliefs and preferences. COVID-19 is an emerging, rapidly evolving situation. What changed, and why is it important? There is only one study to date of as-needed ICS–SABA in children [29], and none with as-needed ICS–formoterol. Thank you for your interest in spreading the word on European Respiratory Society . Regular ICS is not recommended for Step 1, because it was considered extremely unlikely that patients with such infrequent symptoms would be prepared to take a daily treatment. Exacerbations are infrequent events in mild asthma; in the closely monitored SYGMA 1 study, only 12% of patients receiving as-needed SABA experienced a severe exacerbation in 12 months [25]. GINA 2019: a fundamental change in asthma management 1. GINA no longer recommends treating adults/adolescents with asthma with short-acting bronchodilators alone. Other populations in whom as-needed ICS–formoterol should be investigated include pregnant women, where protection from exacerbations with a very low dose of ICS may be particularly attractive, and patients with seasonal allergic asthma. These initiatives were aimed at obtaining evidence about effective treatment options for mild asthma and providing consistent messaging for patients and clinicians across the spectrum of asthma severity. Respir Res. 2019;53(6):1901046. In 2014, GINA recommended that SABA-only treatment should be restricted to patients with symptoms twice a month or less and with no risk factors for exacerbations. 2015 Sep;53(9):102-4. doi: 10.1136/dtb.2015.9.0349. In April 2019, the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) (box 1) published new recommendations that might be considered the most fundamental change in asthma management in 30 years. However, before choosing this option, the clinician should consider whether a patient is likely to be adherent with daily ICS, or default to SABA-only treatment with its attendant risks.

Vol. An overview of the new GINA treatment recommendations introduced in 2019 – the most fundamental change in asthma care in over 30 years. Controller treatment for mild asthma represents a population-level risk reduction strategy, similar to treatment of hypertension or hypercholesterolaemia, where one cannot know whether any individual patient has avoided a serious outcome. The new guideline states that, for safety, “[Global Initiative for Asthma] no longer recommends treatment of asthma …  |  In 2019, GINA undertook a comprehensive review of evidence on the adverse outcomes of SABA-only treatment and the impact on asthma exacerbations and deaths of any form of ICS in mild asthma, and resolved that there was now sufficient evidence to recommend that adults and adolescents with asthma should not be treated with SABA alone.

Of particular concern to GINA was the paradoxical switch in messaging for patients and clinicians between Step 1, where symptom relief was the priority and SABA use was encouraged, and Step 2, where patients were told that they should reduce what was to them a familiar, effective, low cost treatment, and that to achieve this, they should take a daily treatment even when asymptomatic [19, 20].

Global strategy for asthma management … Although budesonide–formoterol is now included in the World Health Organization list of essential medicines, it is not currently available or affordable in many countries, but changes in treatment policies provide the opportunity for motivating greater access to this simplified form of care. The other “preferred controller option” for Step 2 is as-needed low dose ICS-formoterol. 3 In April 2019, the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA, see Box) published new recommendations that might be considered the most fundamental change in asthma management in 30 years. J. The Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) was established by the World Health Organization and the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute in 1993, to increase awareness about asthma among health professionals, public health authorities and the community, and to improve asthma prevention and management through a coordinated worldwide effort. Patient reliance on SABA was further reinforced by its prominent use in the trusted environments of emergency department and hospital care. In making this recommendation, high importance was given to the weight of evidence that ICS reduces asthma-related deaths [6], and that it reduces exacerbations even in so-called “intermittent” asthma [26]. Brusselle G, Buhl R, Cruz AA, Fleming L, Inoue H et al. Head-to-head studies of as-needed ICS–formoterol and ICS–SABA are needed, to compare efficacy and safety.

Leukotriene receptor antagonists are still included as a Step 2 option, but they are not preferred as they are less effective than daily ICS for preventing exacerbations and do not avoid the need for a reliever [31]. A survey of two Cochrane reviews]. Randomised controlled trials found no advantage in regular versus as-needed SABA [4, 5] and, by the late 1990s, most guidelines recommended as-needed rather than regular SABA. 2019 Aug 14;20(1):183. doi: 10.1186/s12931-019-1159-y.

Conflict of interest: F.W. In this revision, the treatment of asthma with short-acting beta agonists (SABA) alone is no longer … In recommending these changes, GINA recognises that there are questions to be addressed, including the cost of implementation in low and high income countries; pharmacoeconomic analyses are underway. Reddel HK, FitzGerald JM, Bateman ED, et al. Evidence to date for as-needed ICS–formoterol is based on studies with low dose combination budesonide–formoterol, but low dose BDP–formoterol could potentially be used in the same way, given its efficacy in maintenance and reliever therapy [28]. 2017 Feb;72(2):183-200. doi: 10.1111/all.13039.
