“…Although ICSs are generally considered more potent than LTRAs and are therefore recommended as first-line therapy, 33 treatment with ICS alone may not adequately control disease in 30% to 40% of patients. 34 This could reflect the inability of ICS therapy to reduce leukotriene production in certain patient subsets in which this pathway predominates.…”

“…In 2004, a Cochrane review compared the benefits and safety of antileukotriene monotherapy with those of ICS monotherapy. 2 In an analysis of 27 trials, 16 in which patients had an FEV 1 that was 50% to 80% of predicted value, the main outcome observed was exacerbations that required treatment with systemic steroids. In these patients those who received antileukotriene therapy had a 65% increased risk of an exacerbation that required treatment with oral corticosteroids compared with patients who received ICS therapy.…”

“…Auch bei Patienten mit mittelgradig persistierender Erkrankung ist die Gabe von Leukotrienrezeptorantagonisten einer Behandlung mit inhalativen Steroiden in den wichtigsten klinischen Parametern unterlegen [10]. Die Gabe eines Leukotrienrezeptorantagonisten zusätzlich zu einem inhalativen Steroid hat nur einen geringen Effekt auf die Asthmakontrolle [9] und ist weniger effektiv als die zusätzliche Gabe eines langwirksamen β 2 -Sympathomimetikums [20].…”
