TRELEGY Ellipta was intentionally designed to provide your COPD patients with sustained efficacy from today, so they can expect more from tomorrow.1-3
*Note: Villanterol and Fluticasone Furoate are not licensed as monotherapy in COPD.
TRELEGY Ellipta delivered sustained 24-hour efficacy on lung function from Day 1 to Week 244, and overall, a superior lung function improvement vs. budesonide/formoterol.2
Adapted from Lipson et al. 20174
First doses of TRELEGY Ellipta and budesonide/formoterol given at 0h; second dose of budesonide/formoterol given ~12h later
*MCID: Minimal clinically important difference. Patients with COPD have been shown to perceive an improvement of ≥100 mL
in trough FEV1 as beneficial5
David Allen, Senior Vice President, Medicine Design, GSK Respiratory R&D, explains how the molecules of TRELEGY Ellipta were designed to provide a long duration of action for patients with COPD.1–3,6–8
Poor inhaler technique could be a reason why a patient's COPD symptoms are poorly controlled.9 With the Ellipta inhaler, significantly fewer patients made a critical error* compared with other commonly used COPD inhalers:10
made a critical error* with Ellipta vs. MDI
(Ellipta 13%; MDI 60%, p<0.001)10

*Defined as errors that are likely to result in no, or minimal, medication being delivered to the lungs10
**This study assessed critical errors in the most common type of MDI (metered–dose inhaler) where shaking prior to use is required. The most common critical error with an MDI was poor actuation and inhalation coordination10

Key steps to use TRELEGY Ellipta inhaler11
FEV1, forced expiratory volume in one second; ICS, inhaled corticosteroid; LABA, long-acting β2-agonist; LAMA, long-acting muscarinic antagonist; MDI, metered-dose inhaler; OD, once daily; QoL, quality of life
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 LABA1
