For appropriate COPD patients struggling with their quality of life, its time for change

Does your choice of COPD Triple Therapy offer sustained efficacy from a single inhalation?

Having COPD can make activities such as attending social events with friends or playing with grandchildren more difficult, impacting a patient's quality of life. How could Trelegy Ellipta help?

  • COPD Assessment Test (CAT)

    Trelegy Ellipta delivered superior health related quality of life (HRQoL) improvement vs. an ICS/LABA at week 243

    COPD Assessment Test (CAT) Scores (other end point)

    Trelegy vs ICS/LABA CAT scores

    Adapted from Tabberer M et al. 20183
    CAT MCID: ≥2 reduction from baseline CAT score3
    MCID: Minimal clinically important difference

  • Trelegy Ellipta: Superior improvement in HRQoL vs. an ICS/LABA at week 242

    St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) (Co Primary endpoint)

    Trelegy vs ICS/LABA SQRQ scores

    Adapted from Lipson et al 20172
    SGRQ MCID: 4 unit change
    MCID: Minimal clinically important difference
    Trelegy Ellipta achieved clinically meaningful improvement in HRQoL at week 24, while Symbicort turbuhaler did not.

What is the COPD Assessment Test (CAT)?4

The CAT is a short, simple, patient-completed questionnaire assessing the effects of COPD on a patient’s health.

The CAT asks patients how affected they are by COPD across 8 different measures: cough, phlegm, chest tightness, breathlessness, effect on daily activities, confidence in leaving home, sleep and energy levels.

CAT is designed to provide a reliable measure of overall COPD severity from the patient’s perspective, independent of language.

Patients rate their experience on a 6-point scale, ranging from 0 (no impairment) to 5 (maximum impairment) with a scoring range of 0-40.

Higher scores indicate greater disease impact

What is the St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) test?3

SGRQ is comprised of 3 main domains:

Symptoms: the effect of respiratory symptoms and their frequency and severity.

Activities: activities that cause, or are limited by breathlessness

Impacts: aspects concerned with social functioning and psychological disturbances resulting from airway disease.

40 items across the 3 domains giving a scoring range of 0-100.

Higher scores indicate greater disease impact

Key trial design

  • FULFIL was a Phase III, randomised, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel-group, multicentre, 24-week study designed to assess the efficacy and safety of the single-inhaler triple therapy Trelegy Ellipta OD (FF/UMEC/VI) vs. Symbicort Turbohaler BD (BUD/FOR), with an extension to 52 weeks in a subset of patients.2

    FULFIL study design

    Co-primary endpoints:

    • Change from baseline in trough FEV1 and SGRQ score at Week 24

    Secondary endpoints include:

    • Annual rate of moderate/severe COPD exacerbations

    Key inclusion criteria

    • Patients with COPD with a FEV1 <50% and a CAT score ≥10, or
    • Patients with a FEV1 ≥50% to <80% and a CAT score ≥10, and either ≥2 moderate exacerbations in the past year or ≥1 severe exacerbation in the past year*
    • Aged ≥40 years

    Key exclusion criteria:

    • Current diagnosis of asthma causing patient symptoms
    • Unresolved pneumonia or severe COPD exacerbation

    *A moderate exacerbation was defined as having worsening symptoms of COPD that required treatment with oral/ systemic corticosteroids and/or antibiotics. A severe exacerbation was defined as worsening symptoms of COPD that required treatment with inpatient hospitalisation
