*N=2436; FF /UMEC 62 .5mcg /VI statistically significantly improved trough FEV 1 versus FF / VI for each corresponding FF dose (100 /62 .5 /25mcg vs FF /VI 100 / 25mcg: 110mL [95 %CI 66-153], 200 /62 .5 /25mcg vs FF /VI 200 /25mcg: 92mL [95 %CI: 49-135]; all p<0 .001)

Numerical reduction in exacerbation rate observed for FF /UMEC 62 .5mcg /VI versus FF/VI (rate ratio [95 %CI]: 0 .87 [0 .72-1.05]). ACQ-7 responder rates were greater for FF /UMEC 62 .5mcg /VI versus FF /VI (63 % vs 55 %; OR 1 .43; 95 %CI: 1.16-1.76); there were no differences in SGRQ responder rates (69 %, vs 66 %; OR 1 .14; 95 %CI: 0 .92-1 .42).

  • CAPTAIN study design²

    Design: The CAPTAIN (Clinical study of Asthma Patients receiving Triple therapy through A single INhaler) trial was a 24- to 52-week, randomised, double-blind, active-controlled, parallel-group, multicentre study of 2,436 patients that evaluated the safety and efficacy of TRELEGY Ellipta (FF/UMEC/VI) 100/62.5/25 OD and TRELEGY Ellipta (FF/UMEC/VI) 200/62.5/25 OD compared to ICS/LABA (FF/VI) 100/25 OD and ICS/LABA (FF/VI) 200/25 OD.

    STUDY DESIGN

    Primary endpoint2
    Mean change from baseline in trough FEV₁ at Week 24

    Key secondary endpoint2
    Annualised rate of moderate/severe asthma exacerbations

    Other secondary endpoints2
    ACQ-7 responder rates at Week 24

    Key safety endpoints2
    Incidence and type of adverse events

    Inclusion criteria3

    • Adults (aged ≥18 years) with uncontrolled or inadequately controlled asthma despite ICS/LABA maintenance therapy (ACQ-6 score ≥1.5)
    • Patients were required to have been on daily ICS/LABA therapy for ≥12 weeks prior to screening, with a stable dose of >250 mcg/day FP or equivalent in the 6 weeks prior to screening
    • A.M. pre-bronchodilator FEV₁ ≥30% and <85% of predicted, and FEV₁ reversibility ≥12% and ≥200 mL

    Exclusion criteria3

    • Participants unable to withhold SABA for the 6-hour period prior to spirometry testing at each study visit
    • Asthma exacerbation requiring a change in maintenance therapy
    • Current or former smokers (smoking history of ≥10 pack years)
    • Evidence of COPD, pneumonia or other concurrent respiratory disorders
    Run-in period

    2,436 patients were randomised to treatment after a 5-week run-in and stabilisation period. During this period, patients received fluticasone propionate/salmeterol 250/50 mcg twice daily for 3 weeks followed by fluticasone furoate/vilanterol 100/25 mcg once daily for 2 weeks.¹,³

    Clinically meaningful improvements during pre-randomisation phases³
    Run in period graph

TRELEGY Ellipta showed superior lung function improvement vs. an ICS/LABA (FF/VI)1,2

With TRELEGY Ellipta, more than 60% of patients achieve a clinically meaningful improvement from baseline in asthma control1,3,5

ACQ-7 responders are defined as patients who achieved the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in ACQ-7 of  ≥0.5 point (decrease) from baseline at Week 245
Result not adjusted for multiplicity 
Consistent results were demonstrated with ACQ-6 and ACQ-52,3

  • What is the Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ)-7?7

    Measuring control with the patient administered Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ-7)

    The patient fills out the Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ), which incorporates five questions on symptoms, and also includes a review of SABA use, and FEV₁ to assess the following parameters from the previous week:

    • Night-time awakenings due to asthma
    • Asthma symptoms on waking
    • Daily activity limitations due to asthma
    • Wheezing frequency
    • Shortness of breath due to asthma
    • SABA use
    • FEV₁
    ACQ score ≥1.5: inadequately controlled asthma8
    MCID = decrease of 0.5 in total score6
    ACQ-6 evaluates only the 5 symptom questions and SABA use

Safety Information:

Contraindications: Hypersensitivity to the active substances or to any of the excipients (lactose monohydrate and magnesium stearate) or patients with severe milk-protein allergy. Warnings & Precautions: Asthma: Should not be used to treat acute asthma symptoms or an acute exacerbation in COPD for which a short-acting bronchodilator is required. COPD: Should not be used to treat an acute exacerbation in COPD for which a short-acting bronchodilator is required. Patients should not stop therapy with Trelegy Ellipta, in asthma or COPD, without physician supervision since symptoms may recur after discontinuation. Discontinue Trelegy if paradoxical bronchospasm occurs and institute alternative therapy if necessary. Cardiovascular effects, such as cardiac arrhythmias e.g. atrial fibrillation and tachycardia, may be seen after the administration of muscarinic receptor antagonists or sympathomimetics, use with caution in patients with unstable or life-threatening cardiovascular disease. Monitor patients with moderate to severe hepatic impairment for systemic corticosteroid-related adverse reactions and the 100/62.5/25 micrograms dose should be used. Systemic effects may occur, particularly at high doses for long periods, but much less likely than with oral corticosteroids. Possible systemic effects include HPA suppression, decrease in bone mineral density, cataract, glaucoma, central serous chorioretinopathy and more rarely, a range of psychological or behavioural effects including psychomotor hyperactivity, sleep disorders, anxiety, depression or aggression. Use with caution in patients with urinary retention, narrow angle glaucoma, pulmonary tuberculosis or with chronic or untreated infections. hyperglycaemia and severe hepatic impairment. Consider risk factors for pneumonia in patients with COPD before prescribing, and re-evaluate treatment if pneumonia occurs.&nbsp; Adverse Reactions: Very Common: Nasopharyngitis. Common: Urinary tract infection, sinusitis, pharyngitis, upper respiratory tract infection, headache, cough, oropharyngeal pain, dysphonia, constipation, pneumonia, bronchitis, rhinitis, influenza, candidiasis of mouth and throat, arthralgia, back pain, viral respiratory tract infection. Uncommon: dry mouth, dysgeusia, atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachyarrythmia, tachycardia, fractures.
