- What access levers will be used for IL-5 inhibitors in each of the five major EU markets and how will they impact their uptake?

- What attributes of future biologic entrants could secure a higher price and which ones are not valued by payers?

- What are the EU and US payers' and physicians' opinions on generic ICS/LABA inhalers?

- What discounts and market access levers will be required to drive uptake of generic ICS/LABA inhalers?
