PG - 1158-1173 LID - 10.15036/arerugi.72.1158 [doi] AB - Long-acting beta2-agonists (LABA) are preferred add-on treatment for adult asthmatic patients whose symptoms cannot be controlled with inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) alone. However, over the last decade, long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA) have gained approval for use in treating asthma, and their efficacy is anticipated. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review to investigate whether the addition of LABA or LAMA is more beneficial for the long-term management of adult asthmatic patients poorly controlled on ICS monotherapy. We extracted eight relevant randomized controlled trials (represented in 18 articles) conducted by June 2022 form the corresponding Cochrane review and additional searches through medical databases (CINAHL, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and ICHUSHI (https://www.jamas.or.jp/)). While the LAMA add-on group showed a significantly better improvement in some respiratory function tests, the difference between groups did not exceed the minimum clinically important difference (MCID). On the other hand, the Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire, a quality of life metric, was significantly higher in the LABA add-on group, but the difference also did not surpass the MCID. Because no outcomes exceeded the MCID, we could not determine whether adding LABA or LAMA on ICS is more beneficial in the long-term management of adult asthmatic patients. Given that no significant differences were found in the incidence of adverse events (including serious ones), when specific adverse events associated with one treatment occur, switching to the other treatment (from LABA to LAMA, or vice versa) can be considered as an option.
