YUPELRI ® ( revefenacin ) inhalation solution YUPELRI ® inhalation solution is indicated for the maintenance treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) . Important Safety Information (US) YUPELRI is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to revefenacin or any component of this product . YUPELRI should not be initiated in patients during acutely deteriorating or potentially life - threatening episodes of COPD, or for the relief of acute symptoms, i . e . , as rescue therapy for the treatment of acute episodes of bronchospasm . Acute symptoms should be treated with an inhaled short - acting beta 2 - agonist . As with other inhaled medicines, YUPELRI can produce paradoxical bronchospasm that may be life - threatening . If paradoxical bronchospasm occurs following dosing with YUPELRI, it should be treated immediately with an inhaled, short - acting bronchodilator . YUPELRI should be discontinued immediately and alternative therapy should be instituted . YUPELRI should be used with caution in patients with narrow - angle glaucoma . Patients should be instructed to immediately consult their healthcare provider if they develop any signs and symptoms of acute narrow - angle glaucoma, including eye pain or discomfort, blurred vision, visual halos or colored images in association with red eyes from conjunctival congestion and corneal edema . Worsening of urinary retention may occur .

About YUPELRI ® ( revefenacin ) inhalation solution YUPELRI ® ( revefenacin ) inhalation solution is a once - daily nebulized LAMA approved for the maintenance treatment of COPD in the US . Market research by Theravance Biopharma indicates approximately 9 % of the treated COPD patients in the US use nebulizers for ongoing maintenance therapy . 1 LAMAs are a cornerstone of maintenance therapy for COPD and YUPELRI ® is positioned as the first once - daily single - agent bronchodilator product for COPD patients who require, or prefer, nebulized therapy . YUPELRI ® ’s stability in both metered dose inhaler and dry powder device formulations suggest that this LAMA could also serve as a foundation for novel handheld combination products . 1.

COPD and Asthma Background

 

 

COPD is characterized by persistent airflow limitation that is not fully reversible ‣ Progressive, partially irreversible airway damage – Chronic bronchitis: Chronic inflammation of bronchi with mucus hypersecretion, leading to airway narrowing and obstruction of airflow – Emphysema: Destruction of alveolar walls, leading to fewer, larger alveoli and loss of lung elastic recoil, causing chronic lung hyperinflation and compromising expiratory flow ‣ Clinically defined as post - bronchodilator FEV 1 :FVC ratio <70% in a spirometry test ‣ Symptoms, which can become acute and lead to exacerbation, include chronic cough, shortness of breath, and chronic sputum production – Symptoms typically progress slowly – Environmental stimuli including pollutants and bacterial / viral infections can cause acute worsening ‣ Most common risk factor is tobacco smoking; others include occupational exposure to dusts and chemicals Source: DRG. COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; FEV 1 , forced expiratory volume in 1 second; FVC, forced vital capacity. 4

 

 

Three classes of inhaled medicines form backbone of long - term maintenance therapy for both COPD and asthma Class Mechanism of Action Key Brands* (Mfg., 2020 Global Net Sales) LABA Long - acting beta agonists Activate beta 2 - adrenergic receptors to reduce free intracellular calcium, thereby relaxing smooth muscle, reducing mucus secretion, and increasing mucociliary function. Brovana (Sunovion, $273 M) Perforomist (VTRS, $213 M) Serevent (GSK, $62 M) LAMA Long - acting muscarinic antagonists Also known as anticholinergics. Bind to muscarinic receptors and inhibit bronchoconstriction and mucus secretion stimulated by the interaction of acetylcholine with these receptors. Spiriva (BI, $2.0 B) Incruse (GSK, $283 M) YUPELRI (VTRS/TBPH, $143 M) ICS In haled corticosteroids Bind to glucocorticoid receptors, reducing transcription of genes involved in inflammatory response, reducing number of immune cells in mucosa, inhibiting T - cell activation, promoting eosinophil apoptosis, inhibiting nitric oxide synthase, reducing mucus secretion, and increasing beta 2 - adrenergic receptor production. Pulmicort (AZ, $1.0 B) Flovent (GSK, $535 M) Asmanex (Merck, $231 M) Source: IQVIA Analytics Link (MNFG Reported Sales when publicly disclosed, MIDAS Value when not) Note: short - acting beta agonists and muscarinic antagonists are widely used for rescue therapy and occasionally on a regular bas is for maintenance. Also, a variety of biologics are increasingly used as add - on therapy in severe asthma. * See specific prescribing information for each product for specific use in COPD and/or asthma.

YUPELRI ® ( revefenacin ) inhalation solution YUPELRI ® inhalation solution is indicated for the maintenance treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) . Important Safety Information (US) YUPELRI is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to revefenacin or any component of this product . YUPELRI should not be initiated in patients during acutely deteriorating or potentially life - threatening episodes of COPD, or for the relief of acute symptoms, i . e . , as rescue therapy for the treatment of acute episodes of bronchospasm . Acute symptoms should be treated with an inhaled short - acting beta 2 - agonist . As with other inhaled medicines, YUPELRI can produce paradoxical bronchospasm that may be life - threatening . If paradoxical bronchospasm occurs following dosing with YUPELRI, it should be treated immediately with an inhaled, short - acting bronchodilator . YUPELRI should be discontinued immediately and alternative therapy should be instituted . YUPELRI should be used with caution in patients with narrow - angle glaucoma . Patients should be instructed to immediately consult their healthcare provider if they develop any signs and symptoms of acute narrow - angle glaucoma, including eye pain or discomfort, blurred vision, visual halos or colored images in association with red eyes from conjunctival congestion and corneal edema . Worsening of urinary retention may occur . Use with caution in patients with prostatic hyperplasia or bladder - neck obstruction and instruct patients to contact a healthcare provider immediately if symptoms occur . Immediate hypersensitivity reactions may occur after administration of YUPELRI . If a reaction occurs, YUPELRI should be stopped at once and alternative treatments considered . The most common adverse reactions occurring in clinical trials at an incidence greater than or equal to 2 % in the YUPELRI group, and higher than placebo, included cough, nasopharyngitis, upper respiratory infection, headache and back pain .
