GlaxoSmithKline PLC (GSK.LN) and Innoviva Inc. (INVA) said
Thursday that their Trelegy Ellipta inhaler, which treats patients
living with uncontrolled asthma, met the primary endpoint in a
phase 3 study.
The pharmaceutical companies said the study showed a
statistically significant improvement in lung function at 24 weeks
of once-daily treatment with Trelegy Ellipta compared with other
medication.
However, the drug didn't achieve a statistically significant
reduction in the annualized rate of asthma exacerbations, which was
the secondary endpoint of the trial, the companies said.
