Safety and tolerability of the novel inhaled corticosteroid fluticasone furoate in combination with the ?2 agonist vilanterol administered once daily for 52 weeks in patients >=12 years old with asthma: a randomised trial.

ABSTRACT: The inhaled corticosteroid fluticasone furoate (FF) in combination with the long-acting ?2 agonist vilanterol (VI) is in development for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.To assess the safety and tolerability of FF/VI over 52 weeks in patients with asthma.Patients (aged ?12 years; on inhaled corticosteroid) were randomised (2:2:1) to FF/VI 100/25 µg or FF/VI 200/25 µg once daily in the evening, or fluticasone propionate (FP) 500 µg twice daily. Safety evaluations included adverse events (AEs), non-fasting glucose, potassium, 24-h urinary cortisol excretion, ophthalmic assessments, heart rate and pulse rate.On-treatment AEs were similar across groups (FF/VI 66-69%; 73% FP). Oral candidiasis/oropharyngeal candidiasis was more common with FF/VI (6-7%) than FP (3%). Twelve serious AEs were reported; one (worsening hepatitis B on FP) was considered drug related. Statistically significant cortisol suppression was seen with FP compared with both FF/VI groups at Weeks 12 and 28 (ratios [95% CI] to FP ranged from 1.43 [1.11 to 1.84] to 1.67 [1.34 to 2.08]; p?0.006), but not at Week 52 (ratios to FP were 1.05 [0.83 to 1.33] for FF/VI 100/25 µg and 1.09 [0.87 to 1.38] for FF/VI 200/25 µg). No clinically important changes in non-fasting glucose, potassium, QT interval corrected using Fridericia's formula (QTc[F]) or ophthalmic assessments were reported. Pulse rate (10 min post dose [Tmax], Week 52) was significantly increased with FF/VI versus FP (3.4 bpm, 95% CI 1.3 to 5.6; p=0.002 [FF/VI 100/25 µg]; 3.4 bpm, 95% CI 1.2 to 5.6; p=0.003 [FF/VI 200/25 µg]). Mean heart rate (24-h Holter monitoring) decreased from screening values in all groups (0.2-1.1 bpm FF/VI vs 5 bpm FP; Week 52).FF/VI (100/25 µg or 200/25 µg) administered once daily over 52 weeks was well tolerated by patients aged ?12 years with asthma. The overall safety profile of FF/VI did not reveal any findings of significant clinical concern. CLINICALTRIALS.GOV: NCT01018186.

Project description:Previous pharmacokinetic studies of the inhaled corticosteroid, fluticasone furoate (FF), and the long-acting, beta2-receptor agonist, vilanterol (VI) have been performed in relatively small populations using non-compartmental pharmacokinetic methods and censored data (due to low drug exposure relative to assay sensitivity). This paper presents a population pharmacokinetic analysis, utilizing pooled concentration-time data from clinical studies in healthy subjects and from global trials in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The objective of this analysis was to characterize the population pharmacokinetics of FF and VI following once-daily inhalation dosing of FF/VI or the individual components (FF and VI) and to identify significant covariates that impact systemic exposure to FF and VI in this population.Population pharmacokinetic methods that maximize the likelihood of all data were developed to describe systemic exposure to FF and VI following once-daily FF/VI, FF, or VI, and to identify significant covariates that impact the pharmacokinetics. COPD patients (N = 1225 for the FF analysis and N = 1091 for the VI analysis; 94 and 93 % of total data, respectively) and healthy subjects contributed to the analysis.FF data were described by a two-compartment model with first-order absorption and elimination. The population grouping "race" was a significant covariate on inhaled clearance (CL/F). The area under the curve over 24 h (AUC0-24) for FF was higher for East Asian, Japanese, and South East Asian (average 23-30 %) and Asian Central, White Arabic, American Indian/Native Alaskan, and 'other' (10-26 %) subjects compared with White/Caucasians. VI pharmacokinetics were described by a three-compartment model with zero-order absorption and first-order elimination. Significant demographic covariates identified to affect pharmacokinetics of VI were age [on CL/F and central volume (V 1/F)], bodyweight (on CL/F), sex and smoking (on V 1/F).While significant effects of the covariates were observed in this study, the magnitude of these effects on systemic exposure is not large enough to warrant FF/VI dosage adjustment in patients with COPD.

Project description:BACKGROUND:This analysis of the IMPACT study assessed the cardiovascular (CV) safety of single-inhaler triple therapy with fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol (FF/UMEC/VI) versus FF/VI and UMEC/VI dual therapy. METHODS:IMPACT was a 52-week, randomized, double-blind, multicenter Phase III study comparing the efficacy and safety of FF/UMEC/VI 100/62.5/25 mcg with FF/VI 100/25 mcg or UMEC/VI 62.5/25 mcg in patients ?40?years of age with symptomatic chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and??1 moderate/severe exacerbation in the previous year. The inclusion criteria for the study were intentionally designed to permit the enrollment of patients with significant concurrent CV disease/risk. CV safety assessments included proportion of patients with and exposure-adjusted rates of on-treatment CV adverse events of special interest (CVAESI) and major adverse cardiac events (MACE), as well as time-to-first (TTF) CVAESI, and TTF CVAESI resulting in hospitalization/prolonged hospitalization or death. RESULTS:Baseline CV risk factors were similar across treatment groups. Overall, 68% of patients (n =?7012) had ?1 CV risk factor and 40% (n =?4127) had ?2. At baseline, 29% of patients reported a current/past cardiac disorder and 58% reported a current/past vascular disorder. The proportion of patients with on-treatment CVAESI was 11% for both FF/UMEC/VI and UMEC/VI, and 10% for FF/VI. There was no statistical difference for FF/UMEC/VI versus FF/VI or UMEC/VI in TTF CVAESI (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.98, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.85, 1.11; p =?0.711 and HR: 0.92, 95% CI: 0.78, 1.08; p =?0.317, respectively) nor TTF CVAESI leading to hospitalization/prolonged hospitalization or death (HR: 1.19, 95% CI: 0.93, 1.51; p =?0.167 and HR: 0.96, 95% CI: 0.72, 1.27; p =?0.760, respectively). On-treatment MACE occurred in ?3% of patients across treatment groups, with similar prevalence and rates between treatments. CONCLUSIONS:In a symptomatic COPD population with a history of exacerbations and a high rate of CV disease/risk, the proportion of patients with CVAESI and MACE was 10-11% and 1-3%, respectively, across treatment arms, and the risk of CVAESI was low and similar across treatment arms. There was no statistically significant increased CV risk associated with the use of FF/UMEC/VI versus FF/VI or UMEC/VI, and UMEC/VI versus FF/VI.

Project description:Background Fluticasone furoate/vilanterol (FF/VI) is a novel once-daily (OD) inhaled corticosteroid/long-acting ?(2) agonist combination in development for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. Trial design A multicentre, randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study. Methods Participants were patients with moderate-to-severe COPD treated with placebo or FF/VI 400/25 ?g OD for 4 weeks. Study objectives were to assess the safety and efficacy of FF/VI 400/25 ?g OD administered for 4 weeks via a novel dry powder inhaler. Co-primary end points were change from baseline in weighted mean (wm) heart rate 0-4 h postdose at day 28 and the incidence of adverse events (AEs). Secondary end points included change from baseline in trough forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV(1)) (23-24 h postdose; day 29) and wm FEV(1) (0-4 h postdose; day 28). Patients were randomised to receive FF/VI 400/25 ?g or placebo in a 2:1 ratio; all patients and investigators were blinded to active or placebo treatment. Results 60 patients (mean age 64 years) were randomised (FF/VI: n=40; placebo: n=20), and all contributed data to the analysis. Mean screening post-bronchodilator FEV(1) per cent predicted was comparable between groups (FF/VI: 58.5%; placebo: 60.1%). The wm heart rate 0-4 h postdose was similar between groups (difference: 0.6 beats per minute; 95% CI -3.9 to 5.1). More on-treatment AEs were reported in the FF/VI group (68%) compared with the placebo group (50%). The most common drug-related AEs in the FF/VI group were oral candidiasis (8%) and dysphonia (5%). There were no clinically relevant effects on laboratory values, including glucose and potassium, or on vital signs or ECGs/Holters. The FF/VI group had statistically greater improvements compared with placebo in trough FEV(1) (mean difference 183 ml) and 0-4 h postdose wm FEV(1) (mean difference 236 ml). Conclusion FF/VI has a good safety and tolerability profile and improves lung function compared with placebo in patients with COPD. Trial registration number clinical trials.gov-NCT00731822.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:There is a paucity of data describing prescribing patterns and adherence to therapy of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) in combination with long-acting β2-agonists (LABA) in the Japanese population in clinical practice. METHODS:This was a non-interventional, retrospective, cohort study of patients who were prescribed medication for asthma, using data from the Japan Medical Data Center Claims Database. Data from patients aged ≥ 15 years with a prescription of asthma drugs between December 2014 and October 2015 (Day 0, the index date when asthma medication was initiated) were analysed in 12-month pre-index and post-index periods. Part 1 focused on baseline characteristics and epidemiological outcomes in the pre- and post-index period in the overall asthma population, whereas comparing medication adherence [number of prescribed days per year and proportion of days covered (PDC)] between ICS/LABA-naïve patients treated with once-daily fluticasone furoate/vilanterol (FF/VI) and twice-daily fluticasone propionate/salmeterol (FP/SAL) was the primary endpoint in Part 2. RESULTS:Of the available patient data (N = 2,953,652), 28,699 patients were identified as having asthma. ICS/LABA was the main asthma treatment prescribed; 11,167 (38.9%) patients were continuous ICS/LABA users. In ICS/LABA-naïve asthma patients, treatment with once-daily FF/VI was associated with higher medication adherence compared with twice-daily FP/SAL; mean [standard deviation (SD)] number of prescribed days per year was 97.8 (115.9) for FF/VI versus 80.5 (92.7) for FP/SAL (p = 0.04), mean (SD) PDC was 26.7% (31.5) for FF/VI versus 21.9% (24.8) for FP/SAL (p = 0.04). FF/VI was also associated with a lower rate of treatment discontinuation and no difference in use of short-acting beta2-agonists or oral corticosteroids compared with FP/SAL. CONCLUSIONS:ICS/LABA was the major prescribed asthma treatment in Japan. Medication adherence was greater with FF/VI, which may indicate that patients are more likely to adhere to once-daily FF/VI versus twice-daily FP/SAL.
