GlaxoSmithKline PLC (GSK.LN) and Innoviva Inc. (INVA) on
Wednesday reported positive headline results from a phase-three
impact study of Trelegy Ellipta, a triple-therapy inhaler for
patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
The Trelegy Ellipta is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration and designed to be used once daily for long-term
maintenance treatment.
GlaxoSmithKline said the Trelegy Ellipta study, which involved
10,355 patients, showed significant reductions in the annual rate
of on-treatment exacerbations when compared with the dual-therapy
treatments it has in its portfolio.
