Frequently asked questions about Albuterol/budesonide

What is albuterol/budesonide used for?

Albuterol/budesonide is an investigational inhaled combination therapy being developed for the treatment of asthma. It is designed to be used as needed in patients with asthma. It combines a short-acting bronchodilator with an inhaled corticosteroid in a single metered dose inhaler.

What does albuterol/budesonide target?

Albuterol/budesonide targets the beta-2 adrenergic receptor, known as ADRB2, as an agonist. Albuterol acts as a short-acting beta-2 agonist to relax airway smooth muscle, while budesonide is an inhaled corticosteroid that reduces airway inflammation. Together they address both bronchoconstriction and inflammation in asthma.

Who is developing albuterol/budesonide?

Albuterol/budesonide is being developed by AstraZeneca PLC, which trades under the ticker AZN. AstraZeneca is advancing the combination as a potential treatment for asthma.

What phase is albuterol/budesonide in?

Albuterol/budesonide is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational product and has not been approved by the FDA. The ongoing Phase 3 trial is evaluating its efficacy and safety in adolescents with asthma.

What clinical trials is albuterol/budesonide in?

Albuterol/budesonide is being studied in the Phase 3 trial NCT06307665, titled Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of PT027 Compared With PT007 Administered As Needed in Participants 12 to < 18 Years of Age With Asthma. The trial is currently recruiting and plans to enroll 440 participants across the United States, China, Mexico, and South Africa.

Is albuterol/budesonide the same as BDA MDI?

Yes, albuterol/budesonide is also known as BDA MDI. BDA MDI refers to the same investigational fixed-dose combination product being developed by AstraZeneca for asthma.
