legend: trelegy real world chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) effectiveness study

Conditions: Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive

Summary: the primary purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of trelegy ellipta single inhaler triple therapy (sitt) (fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium bromide/vilanterol \[ff/umec/vi\]) relative to non-ellipta multiple inhaler triple therapies (mitt) of inhaled corticosteroids/long-acting beta2-adrenergic receptor agonists/muscarinic receptor antagonists (ics/laba/lama) within a routine clinical practice setting. this is a non-randomized, interventional and self-controlled cohort study conducted to collect data in routine practice. this study will have two periods where in retrospective data will be collected in pre-switch period and prospective data will be collected in post-switch periods. subjects will be switched from non-ellipta mitt to trelegy ellipta. the pre-switch period is of 52 weeks and post-switch period will be of 52 weeks. additionally subjects will receive safety follow-up call at 26 weeks and 52 weeks for safety monitoring. approximately 1300 subjects will be enrolled for this study. trelegy ellipta is a registered trademark of the glaxosmithkline (gsk) group of companies.
