Background and Objective: Fluticasone furoate/vilanterol (FF/VI; RELVAR ELLIPTA) is approved in Korea for patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of FF/VI in Korean patients with asthma and/or COPD over a 6-year period. Methods: This was an open-label, multicentre, observational, post-marketing surveillance study in patients newly treated with FF/VI (100 or 200 μg/25 μg once daily). Safety endpoints were the incidence of adverse events (AEs), including unexpected AEs/adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and serious AEs/ADRs. Effectiveness was assessed after 24 weeks by Global Physician Assessment (logistic regression) and forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1; paired t-tests). Results: Of the 3426 patients enrolled across 45 hospitals between July 2014 and June 2020, 3216 were included in the safety analysis (50.5% female; mean age ± standard deviation [SD]: 58.6 ± 16.3 years). Overall incidence of AEs was 30.9% (n = 992); 4.1% (n = 132) were ADRs. Serious AEs were reported in 4.1% (n = 132) of patients; 0.1% (n = 4) were ADRs. Of 1543 patients analysed for symptomatic improvement, 89.2% (n = 1377) improved, 9.4% (n = 145) were unchanged, and 1.4% (n = 21) worsened. Mean FEV1 (difference ± SD) increased significantly in patients with asthma (0.09 ± 0.29 L; p < 0.0001), COPD (0.11 ± 0.24 L; p = 0.0011), or both (0.05 ± 0.18 L; p = 0.0399), indicating improved lung function. Conclusion: In this real-world study, FF/VI administered to Korean patients was well tolerated and effective for the treatment of asthma and COPD. These results were consistent with other studies in Asian and global populations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
