Independent Data Monitoring Committee recommended trial stop early due to overwhelming efficacy at pre-planned analysis AstraZeneca’s inhaled anti-inflammatory rescue medication AIRSUPRA demonstrated significant benefit compared to albuterol WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Positive high-level results from the BATURA Phase IIIb trial showed AstraZeneca’s AIRSUPRA ® (albuterol/budesonide) met the primary endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful reduction in the risk of a severe exacerbation when used as an as-needed rescue medication in response to symptoms compared to as-needed albuterol. 1 The trial included patients with intermittent or mild persistent asthma, including those on short-acting beta2-agonist (SABA) alone, low-dose inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) maintenance therapy, or leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA) maintenance therapy. Asthma is a chronic, inflammatory respiratory disease with variable symptoms that affects as many as 262 million people worldwide, 2 including over 25 million in the US. 3 Patients with mild asthma comprise at least 50% of the US asthma population and are at risk of severe exacerbations. 4,5 James Donohue, Emeritus Professor of Pulmonary Medicine, University of North Carolina, and Chair, Independent Data Monitoring Committee, said: “People with asthma are at risk of severe exacerbations regardless of their disease severity or level of control. By focusing on patients with intermittent or mild persistent asthma, the strong BATURA trial results further demonstrate the clinically meaningful benefit of an anti-inflammatory rescue approach to reduce the risk of severe exacerbations by treating both symptoms and inflammation at the same time.” Sharon Barr, Executive Vice-President, BioPharmaceuticals R&D, AstraZeneca, said: “The impressive BATURA trial results add to the body of evidence supporting AIRSUPRA as a first-in-class rescue treatment and its role in reducing the risk of asthma exacerbations in patients regardless of their disease severity, and reducing the need for systemic corticosteroids.” The safety and tolerability of AIRSUPRA in the BATURA trial was consistent with its established pro no new safety concerns were reported. The data will be shared with health authorities and will be presented as a late-breaker oral presentation at the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI) Annual Scientific Meeting on October 26 2024. AIRSUPRA is the first and only anti-inflammatory rescue medication approved in the US for the as-needed treatment or prevention of bronchoconstriction and to reduce the risk of exacerbations in people with asthma aged 18 years and older. 6 The US approval was based on results from the MANDALA and DENALI Phase III trials. 7,8 AIRSUPRA is also being studied in adolescents with asthma (12 to <18 years old) in the ACADIA Phase III trial and in patients in China in the BAIYUN Phase III trial. 9,10 AIRSUPRA is being developed by AstraZeneca and Avillion. APPROVED USE AIRSUPRA combines 2 medicines to be used as needed as a rescue inhaler in people 18 years of age and older to: treat or prevent symptoms of asthma help prevent sudden severe breathing problems (asthma attacks or exacerbations) IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Do not use AIRSUPRA if you are allergic to albuterol, budesonide, or any of the ingredients in AIRSUPRA Before using AIRSUPRA, tell your healthcare provider about all your medical conditions and about all the medicines you take A dose of AIRSUPRA is 2 inhalations (puffs) as needed. Use AIRSUPRA exactly as your healthcare provider tells you to use it. Do not use AIRSUPRA more than 12 puffs (which equals 6 doses) within a 24-hour period AIRSUPRA is not to be used as a maintenance treatment for asthma. If you are currently taking medicine long-term to maintain control of asthma symptoms, you should continue to take that medicine as directed by your healthcare provider Do not change or stop other inhaled medicines or asthma medicines (oral or inhaled) without first talking to your healthcare provider Call your healthcare provider or get emergency medical care right away if your breathing problems get worse, you need to use AIRSUPRA more often than usual, or AIRSUPRA does not work as well to relieve your asthma AIRSUPRA can cause serious side effects, including: worsening trouble breathing, coughing, and wheezing (paradoxical bronchospasm). If this happens, stop using AIRSUPRA and call your healthcare provider or get emergency medical care right away. This is more likely to happen with your first use of a new canister of medicine heart problems, including faster heart rate and higher blood pressure possible death in people who use too much AIRSUPRA serious allergic reactions . Tell your healthcare provider or get emergency medical care right away if you have a skin rash, redness, or swelling; severe itching; swelling of the face, mouth, or tongue; trouble breathing or swallowing; or chest pain changes in laboratory blood levels . Low levels of potassium (hypokalemia) may cause abnormal heart rhythms weakened immune system and increased chance of getting infections fungal infection in your mouth and throat (thrush). This is a common side effect. Rinse your mouth with water, if available, without swallowing after using AIRSUPRA to help reduce your chance of getting thrush reduced adrenal function (adrenal insufficiency). This can happen when you start taking a medicine containing an inhaled corticosteroid (such as AIRSUPRA) bone thinning or weakness (osteoporosis) eye problems, including glaucoma and cataracts. Your healthcare provider may suggest having regular eye exams while using AIRSUPRA. Discuss any eye problems with your healthcare provider Common side effects include headache, cough, and hoarseness. These are not all the side effects of AIRSUPRA.

You may report side effects related to AstraZeneca products . Notes Asthma Asthma is a chronic, inflammatory respiratory disease with variable symptoms that affects as many as 262 million people worldwide, 2 including over 25 million in the US. 3 Patients with asthma experience recurrent breathlessness and wheezing, which varies over time, and in severity and frequency. 11 These patients are at risk of severe exacerbations regardless of their disease severity, adherence to treatment or level of control. 12,13 There are an estimated 136 million asthma exacerbations globally per year, 14 including more than 10 million in the US; 3 these are physically threatening and emotionally significant for many patients 15 and can be fatal. 2,16 Inflammation is central to both asthma symptoms 12 and exacerbations. 17 Many patients experiencing asthma symptoms use a SABA (e.g. albuterol) as a rescue medicine; 18-20 however, taking a SABA alone does not address inflammation, leaving patients at risk of severe exacerbations, 21 which can result in impaired quality of life, 22 hospitalisation 23 and frequent oral corticosteroid (OCS) use. 23 Treatment of exacerbations with as few as 1-3 short courses of OCS are associated with an increased risk of adverse health conditions including type 2 diabetes, depression/anxiety, renal impairment, cataracts, cardiovascular disease, pneumonia and fracture. 24 International recommendations from the Global Initiative for Asthma no longer recommend SABA alone as the preferred rescue therapy. 11 BATURA BATURA is a Phase IIIb, US, randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, event-driven trial, comparing the efficacy and safety of using inhaled albuterol/budesonide (180mcg/160mcg) as an as-needed rescue medication in response to symptoms compared to as-needed albuterol (180mcg) for up to 12 months. Patients recruited were aged 12 years and over with intermittent or mild persistent asthma and must have been using as-needed SABA alone, or as-needed SABA on a background of either low-dose ICS or LTRA maintenance therapy. 25 The primary efficacy endpoint was the time to first severe asthma exacerbation during the study period. Secondary endpoints included severe exacerbation rate and total systemic corticosteroid use. 25 AIRSUPRA AIRSUPRA (albuterol/budesonide), formerly known as PT027, is a first-in-class SABA/ICS rescue treatment for asthma in the US, to be taken as needed. It is an inhaled, fixed-dose combination rescue medication containing albuterol (also known as salbutamol), a SABA, and budesonide, a corticosteroid, and has been developed in a pressurised metered-dose inhaler (pMDI) using AstraZeneca’s Aerosphere delivery technology. 6 Outside of the US, AIRSUPRA is also approved in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and Oman. AstraZeneca’s Collaboration with Avillion In March 2018, AstraZeneca and Avillion signed an agreement to advance AIRSUPRA through a global clinical development program for the treatment of asthma. Under the terms of the agreement, Avillion became the trial sponsor responsible for executing and funding the global, multicentre, clinical trial program for AIRSUPRA through NDA filing to a regulatory decision in the US. Following the successful approval of AIRSUPRA , AstraZeneca is commercializing the medicine. AstraZeneca extended its agreement with Avillion in 2022 to undertake the BATURA Phase IIIb trial to further assess the role of AIRSUPRA in reducing the risk of asthma exacerbations.

176-week SURMOUNT-1 Phase 3 study in adults with pre-diabetes is the longest completed trial of tirzepatide to date Tirzepatide resulted in sustained weight loss through the treatment period, averaging a 22.9% decrease in body weight with the 15 mg dose at end of treatment Results are consistent with the combined pharmacology of GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonism INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) announced today positive topline results from the SURMOUNT-1 three-year study (176-week treatment period) evaluating the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide (Zepbound® and Mounjaro®) once weekly for long-term weight management and delay in progression to diabetes in adults with pre-diabetes and obesity or overweight. Weekly tirzepatide injections (5 mgi, 10 mg, 15 mg) significantly reduced the risk of progression to type 2 diabetes by 94% ii among adults with pre-diabetes and obesity or overweight compared to placebo. Additionally, treatment with tirzepatide resulted in sustained weight loss through the treatment period, with adults on the 15 mg dose experiencing a 22.9% ii average decrease in body weight compared to 2.1% for placebo in adults with pre-diabetes and obesity or overweight at the end of the treatment period. "Obesity is a chronic disease that puts nearly 900 million adults worldwide at an increased risk of other complications such as type 2 diabetes," said Jeff Emmick, M.D., Ph.D., senior vice president, product development, Lilly. "Tirzepatide reduced the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 94% and resulted in sustained weight loss over the three-year treatment period. These data reinforce the potential clinical benefits of long-term therapy for people living with obesity and pre-diabetes." Tirzepatide was evaluated in 1,032 adults who had pre-diabetes at randomization and obesity or overweight for a treatment period of 176 weeks, followed by a 17-week off-treatment period (193 weeks in total). Results from the SURMOUNT-1 phase 3 study's primary analysis at 72 weeks in all participants were published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2022. In a key secondary endpoint, tirzepatide led to a significant reduction in the risk of progression to type 2 diabetes in adults with pre-diabetes and obesity or overweight from baseline to week 176 (p<0.0001, controlled for type 1 error). For the efficacy estimandii, pooled doses of tirzepatide achieved significant results, demonstrating a 94% reduction in risk of progression to type 2 diabetes compared to placebo up to week 176. For the treatment-regimen estimandiii, pooled doses of tirzepatide resulted in a significant 93% reduction in risk of progression to type 2 diabetes compared to placebo up to week 176. In an additional key secondary endpoint, tirzepatide (10 mg and 15 mg) led to statistically significant weight reduction compared to placebo in adults with pre-diabetes and obesity or overweight from baseline to week 176 (p<0.001, controlled for type 1 error). For the efficacy estimandii, adults taking tirzepatide achieved average weight reductions of 15.4% (5 mgi), 19.9% (10 mg) and 22.9% (15 mg) compared to placebo (2.1%) at week 176. For the treatment-regimen estimandiii, adults taking tirzepatide achieved average weight reductions of 12.3% (5 mg i), 18.7% (10 mg) and 19.7% (15 mg) compared to placebo (1.3%) at week 176. During the 17-week off-treatment follow-up period, those who had discontinued from tirzepatide began to regain weight and had some increase in the progression to type 2 diabetes, resulting in an 88% reduction (p<0.0001, controlled for type 1 error) in the risk of progression to type 2 diabetes compared to placebo. The overall safety and tolerability profile of tirzepatide over the 193-week study was consistent with the previously published primary results at 72 weeks in SURMOUNT-1 and other tirzepatide clinical studies conducted for chronic weight management. The most frequently reported adverse events were typically gastrointestinal-related and generally mild to moderate in severity. The most common gastrointestinal-related adverse events for patients treated with tirzepatide were diarrhea, nausea, constipation and vomiting. Tirzepatide, a GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist, works by activating the two hormone receptors. GLP-1 is a regulator of appetite and caloric intake. Nonclinical studies suggest the addition of GIP may further contribute to the regulation of food intake. Tirzepatide decreases calorie intake, and the effects are likely mediated by affecting appetite. In addition, tirzepatide stimulates insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner. Tirzepatide increases insulin sensitivity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and these effects can lead to a reduction of blood glucose. These topline results provide evidence for reduced risk of progression to type 2 diabetes and long-term maintenance of weight loss with tirzepatide in adults with pre-diabetes and obesity or overweight. Detailed results will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal and presented at ObesityWeek 2024, which will take place November 3-6. About SURMOUNT-1 SURMOUNT-1 (NCT04184622) was a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled trial comparing the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide 5 mg, 10 mg and 15 mg to placebo as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity in adults without type 2 diabetes who have obesity, or overweight with at least one of the following comorbidities: hypertension, dyslipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or cardiovascular disease. The 1,032 participants who had pre-diabetes at study commencement remained enrolled in SURMOUNT-1 for an additional 104 weeks of treatment following the initial 72-week completion date to evaluate the impact on body weight and potential differences in progression to type 2 diabetes at three years of treatment with tirzepatide compared to placebo. About tirzepatide Tirzepatide is a once-weekly GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptor and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist. Tirzepatide is a single molecule that activates the body's receptors for GIP and GLP-1, which are natural incretin hormones. Both GIP and GLP-1 receptors are found in areas of the human brain important for appetite regulation. Tirzepatide has been shown to decrease food intake and modulate fat utilization. Studies of tirzepatide in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and in morbidity/mortality in obesity (MMO) are also ongoing. Lilly submitted data for tirzepatide in moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and obesity to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other global regulatory agencies earlier this year. Lilly plans to submit data for tirzepatide in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and obesity to the U.S. FDA and other global regulatory agencies later this year. Tirzepatide was approved by the U.S. FDA as Mounjaro® for adults with type 2 diabetes to improve glycemic control on May 13, 2022, and as Zepbound® for adults with obesity (a BMI of 30 kg/m2 or greater) or those who are overweight (a BMI of 27 kg/m2 or greater) who also have a weight-related comorbid condition on November 8, 2023. Tirzepatide is also commercialized as Mounjaro® in some global markets outside the U.S. for adults with obesity or those who are overweight who also have a weight-related comorbid condition. Tirzepatide is the only approved GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) treatment for chronic weight management. Both Mounjaro® and Zepbound® should be used as an adjunct to diet and exercise. INDICATION AND SAFETY SUMMARY WITH WARNINGS Zepbound® (ZEHP-bownd) is an injectable prescription medicine that may help adults with obesity, or with excess weight (overweight) who also have weight-related medical problems, lose weight and keep it off.

Tirzepatide reduced the risk of heart failure outcomes – heart failure urgent visit or hospitalization, oral diuretic intensification or cardiovascular death – by 38% compared to placebo Tirzepatide significantly improved heart failure symptoms and physical limitations Tirzepatide led to 15.7% weight loss in a combined population of people with and without type 2 diabetes INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) announced today positive topline results from the SUMMIT phase 3 clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of tirzepatide injection (5 mg, 10 mg or 15 mg) in adults with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and obesity. Tirzepatide demonstrated statistically significant improvements in both primary endpoints with a reduction in the risk of heart failure outcomes, assessed as a composite endpoint, and improvements in heart failure symptoms and physical limitations, as measured by the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) Clinical Summary Score (CSS),i compared with placebo. All key secondary endpoints were also met, including improvement in exercise capacity as measured by the 6-Minute Walk-Test Distance (6MWD), reduction in the inflammation marker high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), and mean body weight reduction from baseline at 52 weeks. For the efficacy estimand,ii tirzepatide led to a 15.7% body weight reduction compared to 2.2% for placebo. For the treatment-regimen estimand,iii tirzepatide led to a 13.9% body weight reduction compared to 2.2% for placebo. "HFpEF accounts for nearly half of all heart failure cases, and in the U.S. almost 60% of those impacted also live with obesity.1,2 Despite a continuing increase in the number of people with both HFpEF and obesity, treatment options remain limited,1" said Jeff Emmick, MD, PhD, senior vice president, product development, Lilly. "Previous incretin studies in this population focused on symptoms and physical limitations. In a first-of-its-kind trial, tirzepatide reduced severity of symptoms and improved heart failure outcomes in people with HFpEF and obesity." Topline Primary Endpoint Results HFpEF is a condition in which the heart's left pumping chamber becomes stiff and unable to fill properly. It is associated with a high burden of symptoms and physical limitations affecting daily life, including fatigue, shortness of breath, reduced ability to exercise and swelling of extremities. The overall safety profile of tirzepatide in the SUMMIT trial was consistent with previously reported tirzepatide studies, including SURMOUNT and SURPASS. The most frequently reported adverse events in SUMMIT were primarily gastrointestinal in nature and generally mild to moderate in severity. The most common adverse events for patients treated with tirzepatide were diarrhea, nausea, constipation and vomiting. Lilly will continue to evaluate the SUMMIT results, which will be presented at an upcoming medical meeting and submitted to a peer-reviewed journal. Lilly plans to submit the SUMMIT study results to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other regulatory agencies starting later this year. About SUMMIT SUMMIT (NCT04847557) was a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled phase 3 study comparing the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide to placebo in adults living with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and obesity, with or without type 2 diabetes. The trial randomized 731 participants across the U.S., Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Israel, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Russia and Taiwan in a 1:1 ratio to receive tirzepatide maximum tolerated dose (MTD) 5 mg, 10 mg or 15 mg or placebo. The two primary objectives were to reduce the risk of the composite endpoint of time-to-first occurrence of urgent heart failure visit, heart failure hospitalization, oral diuretic intensification and cardiovascular death to study completion (median follow up of 104 weeks), and change in the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire Clinical Summary Score (KCCQ-CSS) from baseline to week 52. SUMMIT utilized MTD of 5 mg, 10 mg or 15 mg once weekly. The starting dose of 2.5 mg tirzepatide was increased by 2.5 mg every four weeks until MTD was achieved. Participants who tolerated 15 mg continued on 15 mg as their MTD. Participants who tolerated 10 mg but did not tolerate 15 mg continued on 10 mg as their MTD, and participants who tolerated 5 mg but did not tolerate 10 mg continued on 5 mg as their MTD. About tirzepatide Tirzepatide is a once-weekly GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptor and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist. Tirzepatide is a single molecule that activates the body's receptors for GIP and GLP-1, which are natural incretin hormones. Both GIP and GLP-1 receptors are found in areas of the human brain important for appetite regulation. Tirzepatide has been shown to decrease food intake and modulate fat utilization. Studies of tirzepatide in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and in morbidity/mortality in obesity (MMO) are also ongoing. Lilly submitted data for tirzepatide in moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and obesity to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other global regulatory agencies earlier this year. Tirzepatide was approved by the FDA as Mounjaro® for adults with type 2 diabetes to improve glycemic control on May 13, 2022, and as Zepbound® for adults with obesity (a BMI of 30 kg/m2 or greater) or those who are overweight (a BMI of 27 kg/m2 or greater) who also have a weight-related comorbid condition on November 8, 2023. Both Mounjaro and Zepbound should be used as an adjunct to diet and exercise.
