  4. Management of asthma:updating the GINA guidelines Mild Intermittent Avoidance of risk factors, immunotherapy Short-acting beta-2 agonists as needed Mild Persistent Low-dose inhaled steroids Combination of long-acting beta2 agonists with low dose inhaled steroids Moderate Persistent Asthma severity Combination with higher doses inhaled corticosteroids, theophylline, antileukotrienes Moderate Persistent Severe Persistent Systemic steroids

  10. *** *** T0 Roflumilast Tlast Roflumilast T0 BDP Tlast BDP Roflumilast vs low-dose Beclomethasone(BDP) in moderate persistent asthma Rescue Medication – Diary

  11. Roflumilast 250µg / 500µg is safe and well tolerated Roflumilast may have antiflammatory properties - dose-dependent reduction of early and late asthmatic reactions - ongoing sputum and biopsy studies In Phase II/III clinical trials Roflumilast showed A dose response effect, with 250µg and 500µg being effective doses Superiority over Montelukast Equivalence to 400 µg BDP Efficacy already after 1 week of treatment Constant efficacy over at least 1 year Clinically relevant improvement of lung function Roflumilast in Asthma

  12. POSITION OF ANTI-IgE IN THE TREATMENT OF ASTHMA • Patients with more severe asthma • steroid-dependent, steroid-resistant, brittle • Patients with severe concomitant allergic • diseases • Poor compliance with existing therapy ? • Cover for immunotherapy ?

  27. Association between genetic polymorphisms of the 2-adrenoreceptor and response to albuterol in children with and without a history of wheezing When compared to homozygotes for Gly-16, homozygotes for Arg-16 were 5.3 and heterozygotes for 2AR-16 were 2.3 times more likely to respond to albuterol. Martinez FD et al, J Clin Invest 1997;100:3184-3188

  28. Pharmacogenetic association between ALOX5 promoter genotype and the response to anti-asthma treatment Day 8 Day 16 25 Wild type ABT-761 Wild type placebo 20 Mutant ABT-761 15 FEV1 change from baseline 10 5 0 Drazen J et al, Nature Genetics 1999;2:168-170

  29. CONCLUSIONS Room for improvement of current treatment options Ciclesonide, phosphodiesterase inhibitors and anti-IgE available soon Very few new treatments likely over next 15 years Studies on genetics of asthma may contribute to improve characterization and treatment of asthma

  30. In collaboration with the World Health Organization

  31. The ARIA initiative was developed as a state-of-the-art for the specialist, the general practitioner and for health care workers: to update their knowledge of allergic rhinitis, to highlight the impact of allergic rhinitis on asthma, to provide an evidence-based documented revision on the diagnosis methods, to provide an evidence-based revision on the treatments available, to propose a stepwise approach to the management of the disease, to assess the magnitude of the problem in developing countries and to implement guidelines (with IUATLD)

  32. ARIA programme First phase: Development of evidence-based guidelines during a workshop held at WHO in December 1999 (J Allergy Clin Immunol, suppl, Nov 2001). Document has been endorsed by several allergy, respiratory, ENT and paediatric associations.

  33. ARIA programme First phase: Development of evidence-based guidelines during a workshop held at WHO in December 1999 (J Allergy Clin Immunol, suppl, Nov 2001). Document has been endorsed by several allergy, respiratory, ENT and paediatric associations. Second phase: To produce materials to help improve delivery of care to those with rhinitis. In particular a pocket guide To implement ARIA guidelines To update the workshop report
