LABA/LAMA versus LABA/ICS fixed-dose combinations in the prevention of COPD exacerbations: a modeling analysis of literature aggregate data.

Article

Author: Sui, Zichao ; Gong, Yiwen ; Zheng, Qingshan ; Lv, Yinghua ; Li, Lujin

OBJECTIVES:

This study aimed to quantitatively compare the efficacy and safety of long-acting β₂-agonist (LABA)/long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) and LABA/inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) fixed-dose combinations (FDCs) in preventing moderate or severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations.

METHODS:

A literature search was performed using public databases. The time course characteristics of the probability of a moderate or severe exacerbation in stable COPD patients treated with LABA/LAMA and LABA/ICS FDCs were described by the parametric survival function. A random-effects model in a single-arm meta-analysis was used to analyze the incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs) and pneumonia.

RESULTS:

Twenty studies including 23,955 participants were included. The proportion of participants with a history of COPD exacerbation (%) in the previous year and the postbronchodilator forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV₁) (%predicted) were important factors affecting drug efficacy. After adjusting the above factors to median levels of 100% and 45.5%, respectively, the moderate or severe exacerbation rates at 52 weeks for olodaterol/tiotropium, formoterol/budesonide, indacaterol/glycopyrronium, formoterol/glycopyrronium, vilanterol/fluticasone, salmeterol/fluticasone, and vilanterol/umeclidinium were 38.3%, 41.0%, 42.6%, 47.0%, 47.5%, 47.9%, and 53.0%, respectively. In terms of safety, significant differences were observed among drugs containing different LABA/LAMA FDCs.

CONCLUSIONS:

This study showed that not all LABA/LAMA FDCs were superior to LABA/ICS FDCs in safety and in preventing moderate or severe exacerbations in patients with stable COPD, providing important quantitative information for COPD-related guidelines.

Real-world comparative effectiveness of three single-inhaler dual bronchodilators for the treatment of COPD.

Article

Author: Ernst, Pierre ; Dell'Aniello, Sophie ; Li, Jiaying ; Suissa, Samy

BACKGROUND:

Single-inhaler dual bronchodilators are now recommended as initial treatment of COPD for patients with multiple exacerbations or with moderate or severe dyspnoea. It is unclear whether there are differences in effectiveness among commonly used dual bronchodilators.

METHODS:

We identified a cohort of COPD patients, aged ≥40 years, treated during 2017-2020, from the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink, a real-world practice setting. Inhaled corticosteroid-naïve patients initiating vilanterol-umeclidinium (VIL-UME) were compared with those initiating olodaterol-tiotropium (OLO-TIO) or indacaterol-glycopyrronium (IND-GLY) dual bronchodilators primarily on the incidence of moderate and severe COPD exacerbation over 1 year, and corresponding hazard ratios (HRs), after adjustment by propensity score weighting.

RESULTS:

The cohort included 15 224 initiators of VIL-UME, 5536 initiators of OLO-TIO and 5059 initiators of IND-GLY. The HR of a moderate or severe exacerbation with VIL-UME was 0.91 (95% CI 0.85-0.97) compared with OLO-TIO and 0.96 (95% CI 0.89-1.03) compared with IND-GLY. The risk of severe exacerbation was not different for VIL-UME when compared with OLO-TIO (HR 1.04, 95% CI 0.86-1.26) and IND-GLY (HR 1.05, 95% CI 0.86-1.28). All-cause mortality was lower with VIL-UME compared with IND-GLY (HR 0.82, 95% CI 0.68-0.98), but not compared with OLO-TIO (HR 0.87, 95% CI 0.72-1.04).

CONCLUSION:

In a real-world setting of COPD treatment, the three dual bronchodilator combinations were similarly effective on the risk of a severe exacerbation of COPD. However, the VIL-UME and IND-GLY combinations may confer slightly superior effectiveness than OLO-TIO on the risk of moderate or severe exacerbation. The potential lower mortality with VIL-UME warrants further investigation.

EVELUT®: A Real-World, Observational Study Assessing Dyspnoea and Symptom Burden in COPD Patients Switched from LABA/ICS to LAMA/LABA or LAMA/LABA/ICS.

Article

Author: Taube, Christian ; Buhl, Roland ; Dreher, Michael ; Vogelmeier, Claus F ; Eckhardt, Sebastian ; Emerson-Stadler, Rachel ; Mattiucci-Guehlke, Muriel

INTRODUCTION:

The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD 2023) no longer recommends a long-acting β₂-agonist (LABA) plus inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) combination for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In patients treated with LABA/ICS, who continue to experience symptoms without frequent or severe exacerbations, GOLD now recommends switching to long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA)/LABA instead of escalating to triple therapy (TT; LAMA/LABA/ICS), which previously was also a recommended option. EVELUT^®, a real-life, observational study, compared these two treatment strategies in terms of symptom relief and health status improvement.

METHODS:

Patients with symptomatic COPD at low exacerbation risk (GOLD B) were switched, at their physicians' discretion, from LABA/ICS to either fixed-dose LAMA/LABA (tiotropium/olodaterol, Respimat^® [Tio/Olo]) or fixed or free TT. Primary endpoints were change in modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) and COPD Assessment Test™ (CAT™) scores after 12 weeks.

RESULTS:

The safety set contained 463 patients (Tio/Olo, n = 329; TT, n = 134). In a propensity score-matched set (Tio/Olo, n = 121; TT, n = 121), improvement in mMRC score was similar in patients on Tio/Olo (-0.23; 95% confidence interval [CI] -0.11, -0.36) and TT (-0.25; 95% CI -0.13, -0.38). Improvement in total CAT score was slightly larger in patients on Tio/Olo (-3.45; 95% CI -2.45, -4.45) versus TT (-2.51; 95% CI -1.62, -3.40). In both groups, Physician's Global Evaluation scores increased, with 69-89% of patients satisfied with their treatment overall. Marginally more patients on Tio/Olo responded to treatment versus TT (Δ mMRC score ≥ 1; 25% vs. 22%; Δ CAT score ≥ 2, 68% vs. 56%).

CONCLUSION:

In patients with symptomatic COPD at low exacerbation risk, treatment can be switched from LABA/ICS to LAMA/LABA without compromising clinical benefit, compared with escalating to LAMA/LABA/ICS. Switching from LABA/ICS to LAMA/LABA can provide symptom relief and improve health status without exposure to the risks associated with ICS.

FTC targets Novo's Ozempic, others in crackdown on 300-plus 'junk' patent listings in FDA database

Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan argued that pharma companies are using "bogus patent listings" in the FDA Orange Book to "block competition and inflate the cost of prescription drugs." The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is not done with its crackdown on what it views as improper listing of patents with the FDA. After an initial round of challenges launched in November against more than 100 patents by nine drugmakers, the FTC is back targeting another 300-plus patent listings by eight pharma firms in the FDA’s Orange Book. The FTC argues those patents for altogether 20 brand-name products are “junk” listings that could be used by pharma companies to stymie competition and inflate drug prices. AstraZeneca, Boehringer Ingelheim, GSK and Teva once again found themselves in the crosshairs of the U.S. antitrust watchdog. But the most high-profile products involved in this wave of disputes, as spelled out by the FTC, are perhaps Novo Nordisk’s GLP-1 drugs Ozempic, Saxenda and Victoza. In response to a Fierce Pharma request for comment, Novo said it’s reviewing the warning letter received from the FTC. The antitrust agency in a Tuesday release mistakenly identified Ozempic as a weight loss drug when it’s only approved by the FDA to control Type 2 diabetes. Novo’s Wegovy, which contains the same GLP-1 receptor agonist semaglutide as Ozempic, is approved for obesity. The two brands, while both coming in an injectable pen administered weekly, are available in different maintenance dose strengths. The FDA Orange Book records branded drug patents that serve as reference for generic drug developers. The FTC argued that by putting up sham patents, biopharma companies have exploited a policy that blocks the FDA from approving a generic drug for 30 months if an originator timely files an infringement lawsuit against a generic over a patent listed in the Orange Book. The FTC first warned in September that it would scrutinize improperly listed drug patents in the FDA database. Then, in November, it challenged more than 100 patents for several drug products that deploys special delivery devices, such as an inhaler or an injector. In response, GSK, Amneal’s Impax Laboratories and Kaleo have delisted some patents. GSK also voluntarily removed certain patents that were not challenged by the FTC. Earlier this year, Boehringer Ingelheim, AZ and GSK all committed to capping their inhalers’ monthly out-of-pocket costs at $35. This time around, the FTC is once again eyeing some drug-device combos. Besides the Novo drugs, AstraZeneca’s Bydureon pen for diabetes is also part of the FTC’s challenge. Four GSK inhalers using the Ellipta device, such as the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma therapies Breo and Trelegy, were included. A GSK spokesperson confirmed receipt of the new warning letter and said the company will do its own analysis as the law requires. Previously, GSK retracted four of five patents flagged by the FTC from the Orange Book back in November. “Once complete, we will respond to the FDA and FTC in accordance with the FDA’s process,” the GSK spokesperson said of the latest review. For Novartis, its COPD drugs Seebri and Utibron landed on the FTC’s radar. Boehringer saw patents for its Striverdi and Stiolto inhalations using the Respimat technology under the agency’s microscope. In a statement shared with Fierce Pharma, Boehringer said it has “never wrongfully submitted patents for listing in the Orange Book—not for any of our inhaler products or any other products in our portfolio.” The company believes its patents in the FDA database are “valid, enforceable and properly listed.” “Drug-and-device combination products are complex and costly to develop and manufacture, and we file patents to protect our investment in innovations like these that benefit people and improve their lives.” Teva had the most patents implicated among the drugmakers, with about 60 patents targeted across five brands using the Respiclick, Digihaler or Redihaler platforms between it and its Norton Waterford subsidiary. The company did not immediately reply to a request for comment. Covis Pharma and Amphastar Pharmaceuticals round out the eight companies, The FTC is currently challenging the patents under the FDA’s regulatory dispute process, but the antitrust agency warned that it retains the right to take any further action. The FTC has yet to bring any additional sanctions against companies that have refused to remove patents in the agency’s first round of scrutiny.

AstraZeneca to cap inhaler costs, following BI’s lead – and US investigation

AstraZeneca said Monday it’s capping out-of-pocket costs for US patients who use its asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) inhalers at $35 a month. The cost savings programme follows a similar move from Boehringer Ingelheim, who earlier this month set the same out-of-pocket limit on its inhalers. Both large pharmas may have been prompted to enact the payment cap after the US Senate launched an investigation into the high cost of inhaled respiratory medicines compared with other countries, such as the UK, Germany, and France. In January, the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee sent letters to AstraZeneca and Boehringer Ingelheim, as well as GSK and Teva, requesting documentation on “internal decisions that ensure their inhalers do not face competition and can continue to bring in massive revenues.”According to the committee, inhalers from the four drugmakers can cost patients between $200 and $600 per month.The payment caps from Boehringer and AstraZeneca go into effect in June and will affect the UK pharma’s Airsupra (albuterol and budesonide), Bevespi aerosphere (glycopyrrolate and formoterol fumarate), Breztri aerosphere (budesonide, glycopyrrolate, and formoterol fumarate) and Symbicort (budesonide and formoterol fumarate dihydrate). AstraZeneca also announced that it has lowered the list price of Symbicort “substantially.”“We remain dedicated to addressing the need for affordability of our medicines, but the system is complex and we cannot do it alone,” CEO Pascal Soriot said in a statement. “It is critical that Congress bring together key stakeholders to help reform the healthcare system so patients can afford the medicines they need, not just today, but for the future.”Boehringer’s affected inhalers include Atrovent HFA (ipratropium bromide), Combivent Respimat (ipratropium bromide/albuterol) and Spiriva HandiHaler (tiotropium bromide), Spiriva Respimat (tiotropium bromide), Stiolto Respimat (tiotropium bromide/olodaterol) and Striverdi Respimat (olodaterol).
