Data from the IMPACT trial comparing TRELEGY Ellipta OD to an ICS/LABA (FF/VI) and a LAMA/LABA (UMEC/VI).2 Co-primary endpoints of annual rate of on-treatment moderate/severe exacerbations for TRELEGY Ellipta vs. both comparators were met. Change from baseline in SGRQ score at Week 52 was a secondary endpoint

Key trial design

  • FULFIL study design¹

    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.1

    FULFILL study

    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 design²

    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.2

    IMPACT Trial

    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
    • 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

Footnotes

BD, twice daily; BUD, budesonide; CAT, COPD assessment test; FEV1, forced expiratory volume in one second; FF, fluticasone furoate; FOR, formoterol; HRQoL, health-related quality of life; ICS, inhaled corticosteroid; LABA, long- acting ß2-agonist; LAMA, long-acting muscarinic antagonist; LS, least squares; MCID, minimal clinically important difference; OD, once daily; UMEC, umeclidinium; VI, vilanterol

TRELEGY Ellipta OD is indicated for maintenance treatment in adult patients with moderate-to-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who are not adequately treated by a combination of an ICS and a LABA, or a combination of a LAMA and a LABA4
