Executive Summary
AstraZeneca announced that the European Commission has approved Trixeo Aerosphere (budesonide/glycopyrronium/formoterol fumarate dihydrate) as the first triple-combination therapy in the EU for maintenance treatment of asthma in patients aged 12 and older, regardless of exacerbation history. The approval, based on positive Phase III KALOS and LOGOS trial results, expands the drug's label beyond COPD and builds on existing approvals in the US and Japan, with regulatory reviews ongoing in China and other regions.

- Trixeo/Breztri already approved for asthma in the US and Japan; under review in China and other regions.
- Trixeo/Breztri also approved for COPD in over 90 countries, prescribed to more than 6.8 million patients globally in 2025.
