Abstract
This article summarises key themes from a symposium held during the recent European Respiratory Society congress, which took place in Vienna, Austria, 7–11 September 2024. The symposium was sponsored by GSK and entitled ‘Striving for disease stability in COPD: Giving patients more of their best days’. During the session, the speakers (MeiLan Han, Lowie Vanfleteren and Dave Singh) highlighted the specific challenges of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), such as its unpredictable and unstable nature, with additional insights provided from patients with COPD in the form of video interviews. The faculty discussed whether treatment standards and goals should be more ambitious to provide all patients the stability and predictability they deserve and the opportunity to do more while living with COPD.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Therapy is an international, peer reviewed, rapid-publication (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance) journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of therapeutics and interventions (including devices) across all therapeutic areas. Studies relating to diagnostics and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Advances in Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research.
