The Emerging Role of Biologics in COPD Management

Credits Available: 3.50 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™

Description: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the third leading cause of death worldwide, is a heterogeneous lung condition characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms caused by persistent airflow limitation due to airway and alveolar abnormalities. Initial COPD management relies on bronchodilators with the addition of inhaled corticosteroids for those at high risk for exacerbations. However, up to half of patients on triple therapy still experience exacerbations, highlighting a need for new therapies. Biologic therapy targeting type 2 inflammation, which is common in COPD and associated with exacerbation risk, has recently been approved for clinical use as add-on maintenance treatment of adult patients with inadequately controlled COPD and an eosinophilic phenotype. This educational program is designed to get pulmonology experts up to date on these rapid treatment advances for COPD as well as to bolster standard-of-care fundamentals.
