Highlights

The global respiratory market was valued at $44.0bn in sales in 2010 with asthma/COPD drugs being the key revenue drivers of the therapeutic segment.
Of respiratory indications, asthma represents the main area of R&D interest for pharmaceutical companies, with an estimated 300 compounds in various stages of development. The COPD and allergic rhinitis pipelines are of lesser strength, comprising around 140 products.
Among several once-daily LABA/LAMA combinations in development, Boehringer Ingelheim’s BI1744/Spiriva is at an advantage as this combination product uses the current gold standard COPD treatment Spiriva. Other promising Phase III compounds in development include: Novartis’s NVA237 (glycopyrrolate) and GSK’s 642444 (vilanterol trifenatate). Novart
