Once-daily BREO 100/25 is a prescription medicine used long term to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or both, for better breathing and fewer flare-ups. Talk to your doctor to see if BREO can help with your asthma.

A flare-up is a time when asthma symptoms have worsened and are severe enough to require treatment with steroids, or a hospital stay or emergency room visit. In people with a history of asthma flare-ups (or “exacerbations”), BREO has been shown to reduce the risk of future flare-ups.

Taking once-daily BREO every day can reduce the days when an asthma rescue inhaler is needed. Prevents asthma symptomsĪs part of your asthma maintenance plan, BREO can prevent symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath, and can help keep them from coming back.

It’s an inhaled corticosteroid (fluticasone furoate) and a long-acting beta 2-adrenergic agonist (vilanterol) combined, shown to work for a full 24 hours, all day and night. 24 hours of better breathingīREO is a once-daily inhaled asthma combination treatment. BREO is not used to relieve sudden breathing problems and won’t replace a rescue inhaler. BREO is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on an asthma control medicine, like an ICS. Trelegy Ellipta was originally approved for use in the US in September 2017 for the long-term, once-daily, maintenance treatment of COPD patients who are receiving Breo and require additional bronchodilation or who are receiving Breo and Incruse (UMEC).įull US Prescribing Information, including Patient Information is available here.Once-daily BREO is a prescription medicine for adults with asthma who need both an ICS (inhaled corticosteroid) and a LABA (long-acting beta 2-adrenergic agonist) medicine. We will continue to analyze the data from the IMPACT trial and our ongoing Trelegy Ellipta studies to demonstrate further the value of this important medicine to patients,” said Hal Barron, Chief Scientific Officer and President of Research and Development, GSK.ĭr Ted Witek, Senior Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer at Innoviva added: “Up to half of patients with COPD on maintenance therapy will have experienced at least one exacerbation in the past 12 months, so gaining an indication that reflects the role Trelegy Ellipta can play in reducing this risk is important.” “We are pleased that the robust data from the IMPACT study has enabled the expanded indication announced today and the FDA action has been taken so swiftly.

The approval is based on a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) supported by data from the landmark InforMing the PAthway of COPD Treatment (IMPACT) study which showed Trelegy Ellipta was superior to the inhaled corticosteroid/long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (ICS/LABA), Relvar/Breo Ellipta (FF/VI), and long-acting muscarinic antagonist/long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LAMA/LABA), Anoro Ellipta (UMEC/VI), on multiple clinically important endpoints, including reducing exacerbations and improving lung function and health related quality of life. Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol ‘FF/UMEC/VI’) can now be used by US physicians to treat a broader population of COPD patients with airflow limitation or who have experienced an acute worsening of respiratory symptoms. It is not indicated for relief of acute bronchospasm or for the treatment of asthma. It is also indicated to reduce exacerbations of COPD in patients with a history of exacerbations. The new indication is for the long-term, once-daily, maintenance treatment of airflow obstruction in patients with COPD, including chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema.

Trelegy Ellipta, a triple-combination LABA/ICS inhaled treatment for COPD, has been approved for an expanded indication by the FDA, according to GlaxoSmithKline and Innoviva Inc.
