tudorza significantly reduced copd exacerbations & associated hospitalizations2

Primary Endpoint: On-Treatment Reduction in Rate of Moderate or Severe COPD Exacerbations During 1st Year1,2*

Exacerbations and Hospitalizations

LS = Least Squares

  • The key secondary endpoint in the study was on-study reductions in exacerbations of 17% and hospitalizations due to COPD by 28%

*Patients with stable, moderate-to-very severe COPD, and history of significant cardiovascular (CV) disease or cerebrovascular disease and/or significant risk factors.

†Exacerbation defined as increased COPD symptoms lasting greater than or equal to 2 days requiring treatment with either antibiotics and/or systemic corticosteroids or leading to hospitalizations or death.

‡Hospitalizations due to COPD exacerbations was a secondary endpoint.

DESCRIPTION OF ASCENT STUDY:
ASCENT-COPD was a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, Phase IV study of up to 3 years in 3630 patients with moderate-to-very severe COPD. The study comprised a 2-week washout period, followed by a double-blind treatment phase in which patients were randomized 1:1 to aclidinium 400 mcg or placebo BID. The study enrolled patients with a clinical diagnosis of moderate-to-very severe COPD who were >40 years, were current or former smokers with a smoking history of >10 pack-years, had an FEV1 <80% predicted normal and a ratio of FEV1/FVC <0.7. Patients also had a history of significant CV or cerebrovascular disease and/or significant risk factors.* The primary efficacy endpoint was rate of moderate-to-very severe COPD exacerbations per patient per year during the first year of treatment versus placebo. The primary safety endpoint was the time to first major adverse CV event (MACE). The primary endpoints were met.2

*Documented cerebrovascular disease (e.g., stroke or transient ischemic attack, carotid stenosis). Documented coronary artery disease (e.g., angioplasty/stent/bypass, angina, MI). Documented peripheral vascular disease or history of claudication. Two or more of the following CV risk factors as determined by the investigator: male >65 years or female >70 years, diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, waist circumference >40 inches for males and >38 inches for females, evidence of renal dysfunction (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate <60), and microalbuminuria (defined as >30-300 mcg/mg creatinine on a spot urine test or >30 mg creatinine on a 24-hour urine test; renal dysfunction criteria were added after the initiation of patient enrollment).

SUSTAINED IMPROVEMENT IN LUNG FUNCTION

Sustained improvement in lung function was demonstrated in two 12-week and one 24-week efficacy and safety COPD clinical studies.

Sustained Improvement in Lung Function



†P<0.0001 vs placebo.

  • Statistically significant improvement in morning predose FEV1 was also demonstrated in the ACCORD COPD II study5
    — At 12 weeks, patients treated with TUDORZA 400 mcg achieved a 72-mL mean improvement in FEV1 over patients in the placebo group (P<0.001)

TUDORZA IMPROVED LUNG FUNCTION IN THE MORNING AND EVENING1,6

In a phase IIb crossover study with 7-day treatment periods:

Improved Lung Function in the Morning and Evening

  • TUDORZA provided patients with improved breathing in the evening with a second dose1,6

DESCRIPTION OF STUDY
A Phase IIb, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo- and active-controlled, dose-ranging, crossover study assessed the efficacy and safety of TUDORZA in 79 patients with moderate to severe COPD. The study included 7-day treatment periods (separated by 5-day washout periods) with TUDORZA 400 mcg BID, 200 mcg BID (not approved), and 100 mcg BID (not approved); formoterol active control; and placebo.

PRIMARY ENDPOINT: Change from baseline in normalized FEV1 AUC0-12 post dose on Day 7. Change from baseline in FEV1 on Day 7 was an additional efficacy endpoint.1,6

RESCUE MEDICATION USE1,3,4,7

Reduction in Rescue Med

In 2 studies, TUDORZA provided significant reductions in daily rescue use compared to placebo over 12 weeks (ACCORD COPD I, ATTAIN) and 24 weeks (ATTAIN).1,3,4 In a third study (ACCORD COPD II), the reduction of daily rescue medication use for TUDORZA compared to placebo did not achieve statistical significance.1,6 In all 3 studies, the primary endpoint was the mean change from baseline in morning pre-dose (trough) FEV1 at 12 weeks
