Trelegy Ellipta and Lung Function Improvement
Help improve lung function for COPD patients with a once-daily single-inhaler Triple Therapy 2,7
Breathing Better: How single-inhaler Triple Therapy could help your patients with COPD from today
Over 50% of patients treated with COPD maintenance therapies, including ICS/LABA, continue to suffer from breathlessness4

Statistically superior improvement in lung function vs. a LAMA/LABA (UMEC/VI)3,6
Adapted from Lipson et al. 20183,6
Data from the IMPACT Trial comparing TRELEGY Ellipta OD to an ICS/LABA (FF/VI) and a LAMA/LABA (UMEC/VI).3,6 Primary endpoints of annual rate of on-treatment moderate/severe exacerbations for TRELEGY Ellipta vs. both comparators were met. Change from baseline in trough FEV1 at Week 52 was a secondary endpoint

FULFIL study design²
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. budesonide/formoterol with an extension to 52 weeks in a subset of patients.2
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
- Change from baseline CAT score
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

IMPACT trial design³
IMPACT is the first trial to assess, over 52 weeks, the efficacy and safety of the single-inhaler triple therapy TRELEGY Ellipta (FF/UMEC/VI) vs. an ICS/LABA (FF/VI) and vs. a LAMA/LABA (UMEC/VI), in symptomatic patients on COPD maintenance treatments who had experienced at least one exacerbation in the last 12 months.3
Primary endpoints:
- Annual rate of on-treatment moderate/severe exacerbations* for TRELEGY Ellipta vs. both comparators
Secondary endpoints include:
- Lung function: change from baseline in trough FEV1 at Week 52
- Health-related quality of life: change from baseline in SGRQ score at Week 52
Other endpoints include:
- On-treatment all-cause mortality
Key inclusion criteria:
- Patients aged 40 years or older with COPD and a CAT score ≥10 with:
- FEV1 <50% predicted and ≥1 moderate/severe exacerbation in the previous year, or
- FEV1 ≥50% to <80% predicted and ≥2 moderate exacerbations or ≥1 severe exacerbation in the previous year
- FEV1 <50% predicted and ≥1 moderate/severe exacerbation in the previous year, or
- Patients were required to be receiving daily maintenance therapy for COPD for at least 3 months prior to screening
Key exclusion criteria:
- Current diagnosis of asthma or other respiratory disorders
- Unresolved pneumonia or COPD exacerbation, or respiratory tract infection ≤14 days or 7 days, respectively
- Oral/systemic corticosteroid use ≤30 days prior to screening
*A moderate exacerbation was defined as an exacerbation leading to treatment with antibiotics or systemic glucocorticoids. A severe exacerbation was one resulting in hospitalisation or death
