Portuguese term or phrase: mantendo-se a terapêutica

Good morning everyone (afternoon to some). The Portuguese in this translation is European and I don't understand the meaning of **mantendo-se a terapêutica** in this context. Your suggestions will be much appreciated.

Thank you so much :)

Simultaneamente, em termos de terapêutica, o doente pode responder ao tratamento (**mantendo-se a terapêutica**), pode não responder ou pode desenvolver resistência (nestes 2 últimos casos, alterando-se a terapêutica e transitando para segunda linha).

continuing the therapy

Explanation:
It would seem to suggest "if the therapy is continued"... Is discontinuing the therapy an option mentioned in the context?
