Asthma – Emerging Therapy, with Unmet Needs and TPP Insights Report – 2026

Asthma Emerging Therapy and TPP Insights

Thelansis’s “Asthma Emerging Therapy, with Unmet Needs and TPP Insights Report – 2026″ provides a comprehensive analysis of the emerging competitive landscape, unmet needs, target product profiles (TPPs), trial designs, and KOL insights on key emerging therapies and key drug development opportunities in the indication.

Asthma Overview

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease characterised by variable, reversible airflow obstruction, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and airway remodelling, driven predominantly by Th2-mediated eosinophilic inflammation — with type 2 cytokines IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 central to its pathobiology — alongside non-eosinophilic neutrophilic and mixed phenotypes recognising asthma’s considerable biological heterogeneity. Genetic susceptibility, allergen sensitisation, respiratory viral infections, occupational exposures, and obesity interact as key disease determinants. Patients present with episodic wheeze, dyspnoea, chest tightness, and cough — characteristically worse nocturnally and with triggers — with spirometry demonstrating reversible obstructive pattern and bronchodilator responsiveness confirming diagnosis; fractional exhaled nitric oxide and blood eosinophil counts guide type 2 inflammatory burden assessment. Management follows a stepwise GINA framework prioritising symptom control and exacerbation prevention; inhaled corticosteroids remain the therapeutic cornerstone, with long-acting beta-agonists, leukotriene receptor antagonists, and long-acting muscarinic antagonists as add-on therapies. Biologic agents — dupilumab, mepolizumab, benralizumab, and tezepelumab — have transformed severe, refractory type 2 asthma management by targeting specific inflammatory pathways. Allergen immunotherapy offers disease modification in allergic phenotypes. Regular review, inhaler technique optimisation, trigger avoidance, and personalised action plans underpin long-term management; prognosis is generally favourable with treatment adherence, though severe uncontrolled asthma carries significant morbidity and mortality risk.
