Despite medical advances, more than half of patients continue to experience poor control and significant symptoms impacting their daily life. It is estimated that 5-10% of all asthma patients have severe asthma. </p>\n<p>The causes of asthma are not completely understood but likely involve an interaction between a person’s genetic make-up and the environment. Key risk factors are inhaled substances that provoke allergic reactions or irritate the airways.</p>\n<h2>About COPD</h2>\n<p>COPD is a progressive lung disease that is thought to affect around 384 million people worldwide.</p>\n<p>For people living with COPD, the inability to breathe normally can consume their daily lives and make simple activities, like walking upstairs, an everyday struggle. Patients with COPD suffer from symptoms of breathlessness and many have a significant risk of exacerbations. Managing these aspects of the disease drives physician treatment choice.</p>\n<p>Long-term exposure to inhaled irritants that damage the lungs and the airways are usually the cause of COPD. Cigarette smoke, breathing in second hand smoke, air pollution, chemical fumes or dust from the environment or workplace can all contribute to COPD. Most people who have COPD are at least 40 years old when symptoms begin.</p>\n<p>Every person with COPD is different, with different needs, different challenges and different goals. Understanding this and providing support to help meet these needs is the foundation of GSK’s work.</p>\n<h2>GSK’s commitment to respiratory disease</h2>\n<p>GSK has led the way in developing innovative medicines to advance the management of asthma and COPD for nearly 50 years. Over the last five years we have launched six innovative medicines responding to continued unmet patient need, despite existing therapies. This is an industry-leading portfolio in breadth, depth and innovation, developed to reach the right patients, with the right treatment.</p>\n<p>We remain at the cutting-edge of scientific research into respiratory medicine, working in collaboration with patients and the scientific community to offer innovative medicines aimed at helping to treat patients’ symptoms and reduce the risk of their disease worsening. While respiratory diseases are clinically distinct, there are important pathophysiological features that span them, and our ambition is to have the most comprehensive portfolio of medicines to address a diverse range of respiratory diseases. To achieve this, we are focusing on targeting the underlying disease-driving biological processes to develop medicines with applicability across multiple respiratory diseases. This approach requires extensive bioinformatics, data analytic capabilities, careful patient selection and stratification by phenotype in our clinical trials.</p>\n<h2>About Trelegy Ellipta (FF/UMEC/VI)</h2>\n<p>FF/UMEC/VI is the first COPD treatment to provide a combination of three molecules in a single inhaler that only needs to be taken in a single inhalation, once a day. It contains fluticasone furoate, an inhaled corticosteroid, umeclidinium, a long-acting muscarinic antagonist; and vilanterol, a long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist, delivered in GSK’s Ellipta dry powder inhaler, which is used across the entire new portfolio of inhaled COPD medicines. Data from across multiple clinical programmes have demonstrated the benefit of the molecules in FF/UMEC/VI both alone and in combination, for the treatment of COPD.</p>\n<p>FF/UMEC/VI is approved for use in Europe as a maintenance treatment in adult patients with moderate to severe COPD who are not adequately treated by a combination of an inhaled corticosteroid and a long-acting beta2-agonist. The European Summary of Product Characteristics is available at: <a href=\"https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/medicine/34357\">https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/medicine/34357</a></p>\n<p>FF/UMEC/VI is approved in the US for the long-term, once-daily, maintenance treatment of airflow obstruction in patients with COPD, including chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema. It is also indicated to reduce exacerbations of COPD in patients with a history of exacerbations. It is not indicated for relief of acute bronchospasm or for the treatment of asthma.</p>\n<p>Full US Prescribing Information, including Patient Information is available at: <a href=\"https://gsk.to/2wXFur8\">https://gsk.to/2wXFur8</a></p>\n<p>Regulatory applications for once-daily single inhaler triple therapy FF/UMEC/VI have been submitted and are undergoing assessment in a number of other countries.</p>\n<h2>Important Safety Information (ISI) for Trelegy Ellipta</h2>\n<p>The following ISI is based on the Highlights section of the US Prescribing Information for FF/UMEC/VI. Please consult the full Prescribing Information for all the labelled safety information. </p>\n<p>Trelegy Ellipta is contraindicated in patients with severe hypersensitivity to milk proteins or any of the ingredients.</p>\n<p>LABA monotherapy increases the risk of serious asthma-related events.</p>\n<p>Trelegy Ellipta should not be initiated in patients experiencing episodes of acutely deteriorating COPD. Do not use Trelegy Ellipta to treat acute symptoms.</p>\n<p>Trelegy Ellipta should not be used in combination with other medicines containing LABA because of risk of overdose.</p>\n<p>Candida albicans infection of the mouth and pharynx has occurred in patients treated with fluticasone furoate, a component of Trelegy Ellipta. Monitor patients periodically. Advise the patient to rinse his/her mouth with water without swallowing after inhalation to help reduce the risk.</p>\n<p>There is an increased risk of pneumonia in patients with COPD taking Trelegy Ellipta. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of pneumonia.</p>\n<p>Patients who use corticosteroids are at risk for potential worsening of infections (e.g. existing tuberculosis; fungal, bacterial, viral, or parasitic infections; or ocular herpes simplex). Use Trelegy Ellipta with caution in patients with these infections. More serious or even fatal course of chickenpox or measles can occur in susceptible patients.</p>\n<p>There is a risk of impaired adrenal function when transferring from systemic corticosteroids. Taper patients slowly from systemic corticosteroids if transferring to Trelegy Ellipta.</p>\n<p>Hypercorticism and adrenal suppression may occur with very high dosages or at the regular dosage of Trelegy Ellipta in susceptible individuals. If such changes occur, consider appropriate therapy.</p>\n<p>If paradoxical bronchospasm occurs, discontinue Trelegy Ellipta and institute alternative therapy.</p>\n<p>Use Trelegy Ellipta with caution in patients with cardiovascular disorders because of beta-adrenergic stimulation.</p>\n<p>Assess patients for decrease in bone mineral density initially and periodically thereafter after prescribing Trelegy Ellipta.</p>\n<p>Close monitoring for glaucoma and cataracts is warranted in patients taking Trelegy Ellipta. Worsening of narrow-angle glaucoma may occur. Use with caution in patients with narrow-angle glaucoma and instruct patients to contact a healthcare provider immediately if symptoms occur.</p>\n<p>Worsening of urinary retention may occur in patients taking Trelegy Ellipta. Use with caution in patients with prostatic hyperplasia or bladder-neck obstruction and instruct patients to contact a healthcare provider immediately if symptoms occur.</p>\n<p>Use Trelegy Ellipta with caution in patients with convulsive disorders, thyrotoxicosis, diabetes mellitus, and ketoacidosis.</p>\n<p>Be alert to hypokalemia and hyperglycemia in patients taking Trelegy Ellipta.</p>\n<p>The most common adverse reactions reported for Trelegy Ellipta (incidence ≥1%) are upper respiratory tract infection, pneumonia, bronchitis, oral candidiasis, headache, back pain, arthralgia, influenza, sinusitis, pharyngitis, rhinitis, dysgeusia, constipation, urinary tract infection, diarrhea, gastroenteritis, oropharyngeal pain, cough, and dysphonia.</p>\n<h2>About Nucala (mepolizumab)</h2>\n<p>Nucala 100mg is the market leading biologic treatment for patients with severe eosinophil asthma.

Please consult the full Prescribing Information for all the labelled safety information for Nucala.</p>\n<p><strong>CONTRAINDICATIONS</strong></p>\n<p>Nucala should not be administered to patients with a history of hypersensitivity to mepolizumab or excipients in the formulation.</p>\n<p><strong>WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS</strong></p>\n<p><strong><a name=\"_Toc141171982\"></a><a name=\"_Toc141168048\"></a></strong><strong><a name=\"_Toc141168048\"></a></strong><strong><a name=\"_Toc141168048\"></a></strong><strong><a name=\"_Toc141168048\"></a>Hypersensitivity Reactions</strong></p>\n<p>Hypersensitivity reactions (e.g. anaphylaxis, angioedema, bronchospasm, hypotension, urticaria, rash) have occurred following administration of Nucala. These reactions generally occur within hours of administration but in some instances can have a delayed onset (i.e. days). In the event of a hypersensitivity reaction, Nucala should be discontinued.</p>\n<p><strong>Acute Asthma Symptoms or Deteriorating Disease                                                   </strong></p>\n<p>Nucala should not be used to treat acute asthma symptoms, acute exacerbations, or acute bronchospasm.</p>\n<p><strong>Opportunistic Infections: Herpes Zoster</strong></p>\n<p>In controlled clinical trials, 2 serious adverse reactions of herpes zoster occurred in subjects treated with Nucala compared to none in placebo. Consider varicella vaccination if medically appropriate prior to starting therapy with Nucala.<a name=\"_Toc141171983\"></a></p>\n<p><strong>Reduction of Corticosteroid Dosage</strong></p>\n<p>Do not discontinue systemic or inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) abruptly upon initiation of therapy with Nucala. Decreases in corticosteroid doses, if appropriate, should be gradual and under the direct supervision of a physician. Reduction in corticosteroid dose may be associated with systemic withdrawal symptoms and/or unmask conditions previously suppressed by systemic corticosteroid therapy.</p>\n<p><strong>Parasitic (Helminth) Infection</strong></p>\n<p>It is unknown if Nucala will influence a patient’s response against parasites. Treat patients with pre-existing helminth infections before initiating therapy with Nucala. If patients become infected while receiving treatment with Nucala and do not respond to anti-helminth treatment, discontinue treatment with Nucala until infection resolves.</p>\n<p>A<strong>D</strong><strong>VER</strong><strong>SE REACTIONS</strong></p>\n<p>The most common adverse reactions (≥3% and more common than placebo) reported in the first 24 weeks of two clinical trials with Nucala (and placebo) were: headache, 19% (18%); injection site reaction, 8% (3%); back pain, 5% (4%); fatigue, 5% (4%); influenza, 3% (2%); urinary tract infection 3% (2%); abdominal pain upper, 3% (2%); pruritus, 3% (2%); eczema, 3% (&lt;1%); and muscle spasm, 3% (&lt;1%).</p>\n<p>Systemic Reactions, including Hypersensitivity Reactions:  In 3 clinical trials, 3% of subjects who received Nucala experienced systemic (allergic and nonallergic) reactions compared to 5% in the placebo group. Systemic allergic/hypersensitivity reactions were reported by 1% of subjects who received Nucala compared to 2% of subjects in the placebo group. Manifestations included rash, pruritus, headache, and myalgia. Systemic nonallergic reactions were reported by 2% of subjects who received Nucala and 3% of subjects in the placebo group. Manifestations included rash, flushing, and myalgia. A majority of the systemic reactions were experienced on the day of dosing. Reports of anaphylaxis have been received postmarketing.</p>\n<p>Injection site reactions (e.g. pain, erythema, swelling, itching, burning sensation) occurred at a rate of 8% in subjects treated with Nucala compared with 3% in subjects treated with placebo.</p>\n<p><strong>USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS</strong></p>\n<p>The data on pregnancy exposures from the clinical trials are insufficient to inform on drug-associated risk. Monoclonal antibodies, such as mepolizumab, are progressively transported across the placenta in a linear fashion as pregnancy progresses; therefore, potential effects on a foetus are likely to be greater during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy.</p>\n<p><strong>GSK</strong> – one of the world’s leading research-based pharmaceutical and healthcare companies – is committed to improving the quality of human life by enabling people to do more, feel better and live longer.  For further information please visit <a data-id=\"1242\" href=\"#\" title=\"About us\">www.gsk.com/about-us</a>.</p>\n<p>Trade marks are owned by or licensed to the GSK group of companies.</p>\n<p><strong>Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements</strong><br>GSK cautions investors that any forward-looking statements or projections made by GSK, including those made in this announcement, are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.
