Clinical efficacy of inhaled therapy delivered via the Ellipta inhaler

As well as ease of use, and fewer patients making an error with their inhaler, treatments are needed that show clinical efficacy.1-6

*p<0.05, **p<0.01 and ***p<0.001; NS. In FULFIL moderate exacerbation was defined as requiring treatment with oral/systemic corticosteroids and/or antibiotics and a severe exacerbation was defined as requiring treatment with inpatient hospitalisation. In IMPACT a moderate exacerbation was defined as one leading to treatment with antibiotics or systemic glucocorticoids, and a severe exacerbation was defined as one resulting in hospitalisation or death.

    FULFIL was a 24-week randomised, double-blind, double-dummy, multicentre trial in 1810 patients with symptomatic COPD to assess the effects of once-daily triple therapy on lung function and health-related quality of life versus twice-daily dual therapy with an ICS/LABA.7 Patients were randomised to once-daily FF/UMEC/VI (100 μg/62.5 μg/25 μg) and twice-daily placebo using the Turbuhaler, or twice-daily BUD/FOR (400 μg/12 μg) using the Turbuhaler and once-daily placebo using the Ellipta inhaler.7

    Co-primary endpoints were change from baseline in trough FEV1 and change from baseline in SGRQ total score at Week 24.7

    Safety profile

    FF/UMEC/VI had a safety profile that reflected the known profiles of each component molecule.7

    In the ITT population, the most common adverse events were nasopharyngitis (FF/UMEC/VI: n=64 [7%]; BUD/FOR: n=43 [5%]) and headache (FF/UMEC/VI: n=44 [5%]; BUD/FOR: n=53 [6%]).7

    IMPACT was a 52-week randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, multicentre trial in 10,355 patients with symptomatic COPD and at high risk of exacerbations to assess the benefits of triple therapy versus dual therapy.8 Patients were randomised to once-daily FF/UMEC/VI (100 µg/62.5 µg/25 µg), FF/VI (100 µg/25 µg) or UMEC/VI (62.5 µg/25µg) therapy.8

    The primary endpoint was annual rate of moderate or severe COPD exacerbations during treatment.8

    Safety profile

    FF/UMEC/VI had a similar safety profile to UMEC/VI and FF/VI and there were no new safety findings.8

    The most common adverse events of special interest were cardiovascular effects (FF/UMEC/VI: n=450 [11%]; FF/VI: n=430 [10%]; UMEC/VI: n=224 [11%]) and pneumonia (FF/UMEC/VI: n=317 [8%]; FF/VI: n=292 [7%]; UMEC/VI: n=97 [5%]).8

Switching from MITT to FF/UMEC/V13

This study examined the impact of switching from MITT to FF/UMEC/VI on moderate and severe exacerbations in a real-world setting.13 An analysis was carried out using the Optum Research Database in patients with COPD.13 Patients aged ≥40 years, initiated on FF/UMEC/VI between September 1, 2017 and December 31, 2018 (with an index date of the earliest pharmacy fill for FF/UMEC/VI), and that were on MITT for ≥30 consecutive days during the 12 months prior to the index date were included.13
