Characteristics of Patients with COPD Initiating Budesonide/Glycopyrronium/Formoterol or Other Triple Therapies in Japan: A Real-World Healthcare Claims Database Study (MITOS-AURA)
Introduction
In Japan, patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can be escalated to treatment with inhaled triple therapy. Two single-inhaler triple therapies combining an inhaled corticosteroid/long-acting muscarinic antagonist/long-acting β2-agonist (ICS/LAMA/LABA) are approved maintenance therapies for patients with COPD, and multiple-inhaler triple therapies (MITTs) are also available. There is limited evidence regarding real-life treatment patterns and characteristics of patients with COPD initiating triple therapies.
Methods
This observational, retrospective cohort study identified patients with COPD in Japan from an administrative claims database (May 2018–December 2021). Demographics, clinical characteristics, and healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) were assessed in four cohorts initiating a triple therapy: budesonide/glycopyrronium/formoterol fumarate dihydrate (BGF) early adopters (initiated ≤ 12 months after market approval [September 1, 2019]), contemporary BGF users (initiated > 12 months after market approval), fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol (FF/UMEC/VI) users, and any MITT users.
Results
A total of 636 patients were BGF early adopters, 2558 were contemporary BGF users, 11,187 used FF/UMEC/VI, and 5931 used MITT. The percentage of patients with concomitant asthma in each cohort was 73.0%, BGF early adopter; 74.2%, contemporary BGF; 75.7%, FF/UMEC/VI; and 84.5%, MITT. During the 12-month baseline period, the frequency of patients with ≥ 1 moderate/severe exacerbation was 18.2%, BGF early adopter; 14.3%, contemporary BGF; 13.1%, FF/UMEC/VI; and 14.0%, MITT. ICS/LABA treatment during baseline was the most frequent pathway to triple therapy, ranging from 38.2% to 51.7% across cohorts. HCRU was relatively high across cohorts (range of hospital outpatient visits/patient during the 12-month baseline period, 11.0–14.1). Multimorbidity was observed in > 80% of patients in all cohorts; cardiovascular diseases were among the most common.
Conclusion
Many patients initiating triple therapy for COPD had concomitant asthma and had previously received ICS/LABA maintenance therapy. Patients prescribed BGF in the initial post-launch period were more likely to have a previous exacerbation history versus other cohorts, indicating more severe disease.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Therapy is an international, peer reviewed, rapid-publication (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance) journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of therapeutics and interventions (including devices) across all therapeutic areas. Studies relating to diagnostics and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Advances in Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research.
