GlaxoSmithKline Is Focused on Maintaining Leadership in This Segment
To maintain its leadership in the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (or COPD) segment, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) has focused on shifting patients away from LAMA monotherapy to its LAMA/LABA bronchodilators, Anoro and Incruse. The company also expects to see COPD patients who are at higher risk of exacerbations to shift from open triple therapy to closed triple therapy such as the recently launched Trelegy Ellipta.
