Pulmonary and Allergy Drugs Advisory Committee January 17, SUMMARY - EFFICACY ADVAIR 250/50 and ADVAIR 500/50 meet efficacy criteria for combination drugs in the primary endpoints Similar efficacy for ADVAIR 250/50 and ADVAIR 500/50 Numerically, effect size in “Reversible” subjects > effect size of “Non-reversible” subjects ADVAIR 250/50 and ADVAIR 500/50 meet efficacy criteria for combination drugs in the primary endpoints Similar efficacy for ADVAIR 250/50 and ADVAIR 500/50 Numerically, effect size in “Reversible” subjects > effect size of “Non-reversible” subjects
Pulmonary and Allergy Drugs Advisory Committee January 17, SUMMARY - EFFICACY No clear treatment advantage with ADVAIR for COPD-related “quality of life” COPD Symptoms COPD exacerbations Improvement in dyspnea No clear treatment advantage with ADVAIR for COPD-related “quality of life” COPD Symptoms COPD exacerbations Improvement in dyspnea
Pulmonary and Allergy Drugs Advisory Committee January 17, SUMMARY - SAFETY Higher incidence of candidiasis, viral respiratory infections and hoarseness/dysphonia with ADVAIR No adrenal insufficiency observed with ACTH [Cosyntropin] stimulation testing Studies not designed to evaluate bone mineral density or ocular effects Higher incidence of candidiasis, viral respiratory infections and hoarseness/dysphonia with ADVAIR No adrenal insufficiency observed with ACTH [Cosyntropin] stimulation testing Studies not designed to evaluate bone mineral density or ocular effects
