One Life. One Device. Once Daily.
A triple therapy enabling simplicity in COPD care.
Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol) is indicated as a maintenance treatment in adult patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who are not adequately treated by a combination of an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) and a long acting β2-agonist (LABA) or a combination of a LABA and a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA).1
Why use Trelegy Ellipta in your eligible patients
Trelegy Ellipta offers the simplicity of once-daily triple therapy for eligible COPD patients in a single inhaler.
Patients with COPD who were naïve to both Ellipta and the comparator device made fewer critical errors using an Ellipta device compared with other common COPD inhalers after reading the PIL*2
*Defined as errors that are likely to result in no or significantly reduced or minimal medication being delivered to the lung after reading the patient information leaflet only
Open label, single visit, placebo inhaler, crossover comparison in patients naïve to Ellipta and the comparator inhalers (p<0.001 for all comparisons) n=567
In another trial, the INTREPID trial, the % of patients with ≥1 critical error in inhalation technique at week 24 was: 6% in the FF/UMEC/VI treatment group, 3% in the non-Ellipta multiple inhaler triple therapy group. OR: 1.99; p=0.103 (NS)3

Inspiratory flow
With Ellipta, >99% of patients can generate the inspiratory flow required to ensure that even severe COPD patients can get the dose they need4,5
Analysis of spirometry data for 1,951 patients with moderate/severe COPD
*Spirometry PIFR of 50 L/min correlated to a PIFR of 30 L/min for the Ellipta device, a flow rate which has been shown in-vitro to be adequate for appropriate dose delivery6
Treatment effect is not dependent on PIF
Uncertain about the required inspiratory flow for the Ellipta device?
This training whistle helps patients understand the correct inspiratory flow needed to use the Ellipta device. It produces a whistle sound when the necessary inspiratory flow is achieved.
Time to teach
Patients learn to use an Ellipta faster than other common COPD inhalers.2
Open label, single visit, placebo inhaler, crossover comparison in patients naïve to Ellipta and the comparator inhalers. n=567
Time to teach based on reading the PIL followed by nurse instruction if required.
Number of instructions from trained respiratory nurse: After reading the PIL, the majority of patients (57-70%) made no errors using the Ellipta inhaler, thus not requiring instruction from the nurse.2
The majority of patients required nurse instruction for the other inhalers, for example 85% in the case of the MDI.2
