Pharmacokinetics Of Indacaterol/Mometasone Furoate In Healthy Chinese Volunteers: Results From A Randomized, Open-label, Parallel-group Study
Once-daily indacaterol/mometasone furoate (IND/MF) is an inhaled long-acting β2-agonist/inhaled corticosteroid (LABA/ICS), recently approved for maintenance treatment of asthma. Pharmacokinetics of IND and MF after once-daily oral inhalation of IND/MF low- (150/80 μg), medium- (150/160 μg) and high-dose (150/320 μg) for 14 days were assessed in healthy Chinese volunteers .

Cardiovascular safety of mometasone/indacaterol and mometasone/indacaterol/glycopyrronium once-daily fixed-dose combinations in asthma
To evaluate cardiovascular safety of two new inhaled fixed-dose combinations for treatment of asthma: (i) the inhaled corticosteroid/long-acting beta2-agonist (ICS/LABA) mometasone furoate/indacaterol acetate (MF/IND), (ii) the ICS/LABA/long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) MF/IND/glycopyrronium bromide (GLY).

P-glycoprotein inhibition with verapamil overcomes mometasone resistance in Chronic Sinusitis with Nasal Polyps.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study confirms that P-gp contributes to mometasone resistance. This P-gp mediated resistance was successfully reversed by addition of the P-gp inhibitor verapamil. Verapamil further significantly enhanced the anti-inflammatory effect of mometasone when given as a combination therapy. PMID: 33459729 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Rhinology)

P450 clinical measures of asthma control from the mometasone furoate/formoterol spiro trial
Asthma maintenance treatment aims to preserve asthma control in order to reduce the risk of asthma exacerbation. The combination between an inhaled corticosteroid and a fast-acting bronchodilator, systemic corticosteroids (SCS) bursts and other add-on asthma medications are prescribed for asthma worsening to mitigate serious outcomes.1 Primary findings from a 26-week double-blind, randomized-controlled trial in patients ≥12 years of age with persistent asthma comparing mometasone furoate/formoterol (MF/F) to MF did not demonstrate a significant difference in asthma-related hospitalizations, intubations and deaths, but di...

P509 reslizumab an interleukin-5 antagonist monoclonal antibody for uncontrolled chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps
Previously, we demonstrated that the addition of subcutaneous Dupilumab to intranasal corticosteroid has additive beneficial effects for uncontrolled chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Clinical observations led us to believe that the addition of intravenous Reslizumab, an interleukin-5 antagonist monoclonal antibody (IgG4 kappa), may provide additional efficacy in sub optimally controlled CRSwNP despite daily use of intranasal glucocorticosteroid (INCS) Mometasone furoate with interval necessity of systemic corticosteroids for breakthrough relief.

Inhaled Corticosteroids and Endocrine Effects in Childhood
This article reviews 4 areas critical to understanding potential adverse endocrine outcomes of ICSs and placing them in proper perspective: (1) influence of drug/delivery device properties on systemic steroid burden; (2) adrenal insufficiency during ICS treatment; (3) growth effects of ICS and asthma itself; and (4) bone mineral accretion during ICS therapy.
