The product is a combination anticholinergic/long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (anticholinergic/LABA) indicated for the long-term, once-daily, maintenance treatment of airflow obstruction in patients with COPD, including chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema.
The product was approved by the FDA in December 2013. The FDA-approved strength is umeclidinium/vilanterol 62.5/25mcg.
“We understand that COPD is a progressive disease affecting an estimated 27 million people in the US alone,” said Jorge Bartolome, Senior Vice President of the GSK Respiratory Business Unit in the US. “Anoro Ellipta is an important treatment option for appropriate patients with COPD, and we are proud to make it available in the US.”
The Anoro Ellipta release comes on the heels of GSK’s and Theravance’s launch of Breo Ellipta in October. Breo Ellipta is a once-daily ICS/LABA combo for the treatment of COPD.
