Media interview opportunity

Prominent asthma advocacy group available to provide perspective on study published in NEJM entitled "Daily Versus As-Needed Corticosteroids for Mild Persistent Asthma"

WHAT: New asthma findings suggest that some adults with mild persistent asthma may be able to adequately control their asthma by taking corticosteroids only when needed instead of taking anti-inflammatory medication daily

WHO: The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA), a not-for-profit organization, and is the leading patient organization for people with asthma and allergies

  • Spokesperson can discuss the following:

    • Current guidelines recommend inhaled corticosteroids as safe, effective and preferred first-line therapy for children as well as adults with persistent asthma

    • There is potential for confusion among patients and physicians as a result of the IMPACT study

    • Patients should not discontinue any prescribed medications until advised by their physician

    • The IMPACT study published in NEJM is preliminary

    • Additional research needs to be conducted to confirm findings from the IMPACT study

  • AAFA also can refer reporters to a physician for a clinical perspective on the IMPACT study
