GlaxoSmithKline, Theravance submit regulatory application for COPD therapy in Europe

GlaxoSmithKline and Theravance have announced the MAA submission for Anoro in Europe for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

The COPD therapy, administered using the ELLIPTA inhaler, is a combination of GSK573719 or umeclidinium bromide (UMEC), a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) and vilanterol (VI), a long-acting beta2 agonist (LABA).

The regulatory application was submitted to the European Union for the investigational once-daily UMEC/VI combination therapy of 55/22mcg and 113/22mcg doses as a maintenance bronchodilator treatment to relieve symptoms in COPD patients.

Companies previously submitted a regulatory application for UMEC/VI in the US for COPD patients.
