Fluticasone Furoate/Umeclidinium/Vilanterol Initiation Following a COPD Exacerbation: Benefits of Prompt Initiation on COPD Outcomes
Introduction
Previous real-world evidence suggests that prompt versus delayed initiation of single-inhaler triple therapy (SITT) with fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol (FF/UMEC/VI) following an exacerbation results in improved clinical outcomes for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This prior study was conducted in the first 2 years following FF/UMEC/VI approval, representing early trends. The current updated analysis aims to further elucidate the real-world evidence for FF/UMEC/VI.
Methods
This was a retrospective cohort study using the IQVIA PharMetrics® Plus database. Patients with COPD initiating SITT with FF/UMEC/VI within 6 months of an exacerbation (index date) were classified as prompt (≤ 30 days following exacerbation) or delayed (31–180 days) initiators. The baseline period comprised the 12 months prior to index. Inverse probability of treatment weighting was used to balance differences in baseline characteristics between cohorts. COPD exacerbations, hospital readmission rates, and healthcare costs were compared between cohorts post-index.
Results
Overall, 5421 patients (prompt, 2057; delayed, 3364) were included. After weighting, baseline characteristics were well balanced between cohorts. For up to 12 months post-index, prompt initiators of FF/UMEC/VI had significantly lower rates of exacerbations per person-year versus delayed initiators (0.74 vs. 1.06; rate ratio 0.70, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.64–0.77; P < 0.001). A 1-day delay in FF/UMEC/VI initiation was associated with a 0.31% increase in the rate of exacerbations. At 90 days post-index, Kaplan–Meier rates of all-cause (hazard ratio [HR] 0.62, 95% CI 0.45–0.86; P = 0.004) and COPD-related (HR 0.58, 95% CI 0.35–0.98; P = 0.042) hospital readmissions were significantly lower in the prompt versus delayed cohort. Total COPD-related healthcare costs per person per year were significantly lower for patients in the prompt versus delayed cohort.
Conclusion
Healthcare providers should consider the positive impact of prompt FF/UMEC/VI initiation on exacerbation rate, hospital readmission rate, and costs when treating patients with COPD at risk of exacerbations.
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.
