11 DESCRIPTION Umeclidinium and Vilanterol ELLIPTA is an inhalation powder drug product for delivery of a combination of umeclidinium (an anticholinergic) and vilanterol (a LABA) to patients by oral inhalation.
Uses
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE Umeclidinium and Vilanterol ELLIPTA is indicated for the maintenance treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Limitations of Use Umeclidinium and Vilanterol ELLIPTA is NOT indicated for the relief of acute bronchospasm or for the treatment of asthma. The safety and effectiveness of Umeclidinium and Vilanterol ELLIPTA in asthma have not been established. Umeclidinium and Vilanterol ELLIPTA is a combination of umeclidinium, an anticholinergic, and vilanterol, a long-acting beta 2 -adrenergic agonist (LABA), indicated for the maintenance treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). ( 1 ) Limitations of Use: Not indicated for relief of acute bronchospasm or for the treatment of asthma. ( 1 , 5.2 )
Dosage
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION The recommended dosage of Umeclidinium and Vilanterol ELLIPTA for maintenance treatment of COPD is 62.5 mcg umeclidinium and 25 mcg vilanterol (1 actuation of Umeclidinium and Vilanterol ELLIPTA 62.5/25 mcg) once daily by oral inhalation. • Umeclidinium and Vilanterol ELLIPTA should be used at the same time every day. Do not use Umeclidinium and Vilanterol ELLIPTA more than 1 time every 24 hours. • No dosage adjustment is required for geriatric patients, patients with renal impairment, or patients with moderate hepatic impairment [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . • For oral inhalation only. ( 2 ) • Maintenance treatment of COPD: 1 actuation of Umeclidinium and Vilanterol ELLIPTA once daily administered by oral inhalation. ( 2 )
Side Effects
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in labeling: • Serious asthma-related events–hospitalizations, intubations, death [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] • Paradoxical bronchospasm [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] • Cardiovascular effects [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 )] • Worsening of narrow-angle glaucoma [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.9 )] • Worsening of urinary retention [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.10 )] Most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥1% and more common than placebo) are pharyngitis, sinusitis, lower respiratory tract infection, constipation, diarrhea, pain in extremity, muscle spasms, neck pain, and chest pain.
Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS • Strong cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole): Use with caution. May cause cardiovascular effects. ( 7.1 ) • Monoamine oxidase inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants: Use with extreme caution. May potentiate effect of vilanterol on cardiovascular system. ( 7.2 ) • Beta-blockers: Use with caution. May block bronchodilatory effects of beta-agonists and produce severe bronchospasm. ( 7.3 ) • Diuretics: Use with caution. Electrocardiographic changes and/or hypokalemia associated with non–potassium-sparing diuretics may worsen with concomitant beta-agonists. ( 7.4 ) • Anticholinergics: May interact additively with concomitantly used anticholinergic medications.
Warnings
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • LABA monotherapy (without an inhaled corticosteroid) for asthma increases the risk of serious asthma-related events. ( 5.1 ) • Do not initiate in acutely deteriorating COPD. Do not use to treat acute symptoms. ( 5.2 ) • Do not use in combination with additional therapy containing a LABA because of risk of overdose. ( 5.3 ) • If paradoxical bronchospasm occurs, discontinue Umeclidinium and Vilanterol ELLIPTA and institute alternative therapy. ( 5.5 ) • Use with caution in patients with cardiovascular disorders because of beta-adrenergic stimulation. ( 5.7 ) • Use with caution in patients with convulsive disorders, thyrotoxicosis, diabetes mellitus, and ketoacidosis. ( 5.8 ) • Worsening of narrow-angle glaucoma may occur. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS Umeclidinium and Vilanterol ELLIPTA is contraindicated in: • patients with severe hypersensitivity to milk proteins or who have demonstrated hypersensitivity to umeclidinium, vilanterol, or any of the excipients [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 ), Description ( 11 )] .
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are insufficient data on the use of umeclidinium and vilanterol ELLIPTA or its individual components, umeclidinium and vilanterol, in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk. (See Clinical Considerations.) In animal reproduction studies, umeclidinium administered via inhalation or subcutaneously to pregnant rats and rabbits was not associated with adverse effects on embryofetal development at exposures approximately 50 and 200 times, respectively, the human exposure at the maximum recommended human daily inhaled dose (MRHDID).
Storage
16 HOW SUPPLIED/STORAGE AND HANDLING Umeclidinium and Vilanterol ELLIPTA is supplied as a disposable light grey and red plastic inhaler containing 2 foil strips, each with 30 blisters. One strip contains umeclidinium (62.5 mcg per blister), and the other strip contains vilanterol (25 mcg per blister). A blister from each strip is used to create 1 dose.
