ADVAIR HFA (Page 10 of 10)
14.2 One-Year Safety Trial
Clinical Trial with ADVAIR HFA 45 mcg/21 mcg, ADVAIR HFA 115 mcg/21 mcg, and ADVAIR HFA 230 mcg/21 mcg
This 1-year, open-label, non-U.S. trial evaluated the safety of ADVAIR HFA 45 mcg/21 mcg, ADVAIR HFA 115 mcg/21 mcg, and ADVAIR HFA 230 mcg/21 mcg given as 2 inhalations twice daily in 325 subjects. This trial was stratified into 3 groups according to baseline asthma therapy: subjects using short-acting beta2 -agonists alone (n = 42), salmeterol (n = 91), or ICS (n = 277). Subjects treated with short-acting beta2 -agonists alone, salmeterol, or low doses of ICS with or without concurrent salmeterol received ADVAIR HFA 45 mcg/21 mcg. Subjects treated with moderate doses of ICS with or without concurrent salmeterol received ADVAIR HFA 115 mcg/21 mcg. Subjects treated with high doses of ICS with or without concurrent salmeterol received ADVAIR HFA 230 mcg/21 mcg. Baseline FEV1 measurements ranged from 2.3 to 2.6 L.
Improvements in FEV1 (0.17 to 0.35 L at 4 weeks) were seen across all 3 treatments and were sustained throughout the 52-week treatment period. Few subjects (3%) were withdrawn due to worsening asthma over 1 year.
14.3 Onset of Action and Progression of Improvement in Control
The onset of action and progression of improvement in asthma control were evaluated in 2 placebo-controlled U.S. trials and 1 active-controlled U.S. trial. Following the first dose, the median time to onset of clinically significant bronchodilatation (≥15% improvement in FEV1 ) in most subjects was seen within 30 to 60 minutes. Maximum improvement in FEV1 occurred within 4 hours, and clinically significant improvement was maintained for 12 hours (Figure 3).
Following the initial dose, predose FEV1 relative to Day 1 baseline improved markedly over the first week of treatment and continued to improve over the 12 weeks of treatment in all 3 trials.
No diminution in the 12-hour bronchodilator effect was observed with either ADVAIR HFA 45 mcg/21 mcg (Figures 3 and 4) or ADVAIR HFA 230/21 as assessed by FEV1 following 12 weeks of therapy.
First Treatment Day

Last Treatment Day (Week 12)
Figure 4. Percent Change in Serial 12-Hour FEV1 in Subjects Previously Using Either Beta2 -agonists (Albuterol or Salmeterol) or Inhaled Corticosteroids (Trial 1)
Reduction in asthma symptoms and use of rescue VENTOLIN Inhalation Aerosol and improvement in morning and evening PEF also occurred within the first day of treatment with ADVAIR HFA and continued to improve over the 12 weeks of therapy in all 3 trials.
16 HOW SUPPLIED/STORAGE AND HANDLING
ADVAIR HFA is supplied in the following boxes of 1 as a pressurized aluminum canister fitted with a counter and supplied with a purple plastic actuator with a light purple cap:
- •
- ADVAIR HFA 45 mcg/21 mcg: 12-g canister containing 120 actuations (NDC 0173-0715-20)
- •
- ADVAIR HFA 45 mcg/21 mcg: 8-g canister containing 60 actuations (NDC 0173-0715-22)
- •
- ADVAIR HFA 115 mcg/21 mcg: 12-g canister containing 120 actuations (NDC 0173-0716-20)
- •
- ADVAIR HFA 115 mcg/21 mcg: 8-g canister containing 60 actuations (NDC 0173-0716-22)
- •
- ADVAIR HFA 230 mcg/21 mcg: 12-g canister containing 120 actuations (NDC 0173-0717-20)
- •
- ADVAIR HFA 230 mcg/21 mcg: 8-g canister containing 60 actuations (NDC 0173-0717-22)
Each inhaler is packaged with a Patient Information leaflet.
The purple actuator supplied with ADVAIR HFA should not be used with any other product canisters, and actuators from other products should not be used with an ADVAIR HFA canister.
Counter
ADVAIR HFA has a counter attached to the canister. The counter starts at 124 or 064 and counts down each time a spray is released. The correct amount of medication in each actuation cannot be assured after the counter reads 000, even though the canister is not completely empty and will continue to operate. The inhaler should be discarded when the counter reads 000.
Contents under Pressure
Do not puncture. Do not use or store near heat or open flame. Exposure to temperatures above 120°F may cause bursting. Never throw canister into fire or incinerator.
Storage
Store at room temperature between 68°F and 77°F (20°C and 25°C); excursions permitted from 59°F to 86°F (15°C to 30°C) [See USP Controlled Room Temperature]. Store the inhaler with the mouthpiece down. For best results, the inhaler should be at room temperature before use.
17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION
Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Patient Information and Instructions for Use).
Serious Asthma-Related Events
Inform patients with asthma that LABA when used alone increases the risk of asthma-related hospitalization or asthma-related death. Available data show that when ICS and LABA are used together, such as with ADVAIR HFA, there is not a significant increase in the risk of these events. [See Warnings and Precautions (5.1).]
Not for Acute Symptoms
Inform patients that ADVAIR HFA is not meant to relieve acute asthma symptoms and extra doses should not be used for that purpose. Advise patients to treat acute asthma symptoms with an inhaled, short-acting beta2 -agonist such as albuterol. Provide patients with such medication and instruct them in how it should be used.
Instruct patients to seek medical attention immediately if they experience any of the following:
- •
- Decreasing effectiveness of inhaled, short-acting beta2 -agonists
- •
- Need for more inhalations than usual of inhaled, short-acting beta2 -agonists
- •
- Significant decrease in lung function as outlined by the physician
Tell patients they should not stop therapy with ADVAIR HFA without physician/provider guidance since symptoms may recur after discontinuation. [See Warnings and Precautions (5.2).]
Do Not Use Additional Long-acting Beta2 -agonists
Instruct patients not to use other LABA for asthma. [See Warnings and Precautions (5.3).]
Oropharyngeal Candidiasis
Inform patients that localized infections with Candida albicans occurred in the mouth and pharynx in some patients. If oropharyngeal candidiasis develops, treat it with appropriate local or systemic (i.e., oral) antifungal therapy while still continuing therapy with ADVAIR HFA, but at times therapy with ADVAIR HFA may need to be temporarily interrupted under close medical supervision. Advise patients to rinse the mouth with water without swallowing after inhalation to help reduce the risk of thrush. [See Warnings and Precautions (5.4).]
Pneumonia
Patients with COPD have a higher risk of pneumonia; instruct them to contact their healthcare providers if they develop symptoms of pneumonia. [See Warnings and Precautions (5.5).]
Immunosuppression and Risk of Infections
Warn patients who are on immunosuppressant doses of corticosteroids to avoid exposure to chickenpox or measles and, if exposed, to consult their physicians without delay. Inform patients of potential worsening of existing tuberculosis; fungal, bacterial, viral, or parasitic infections; or ocular herpes simplex. [See Warnings and Precautions (5.6).]
Hypercorticism and Adrenal Suppression
Advise patients that ADVAIR HFA may cause systemic corticosteroid effects of hypercorticism and adrenal suppression. Additionally, inform patients that deaths due to adrenal insufficiency have occurred during and after transfer from systemic corticosteroids. Patients should taper slowly from systemic corticosteroids if transferring to ADVAIR HFA. [See Warnings and Precautions (5.8).]
Hypersensitivity Reactions, including Anaphylaxis
Advise patients that immediate hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., urticaria, angioedema, rash, bronchospasm, hypotension), including anaphylaxis, may occur after administration of ADVAIR HFA. Patients should discontinue ADVAIR HFA if such reactions occur. [See Warnings and Precautions (5.11).]
Risks Associated with Beta-agonist Therapy
Inform patients of adverse effects associated with beta2 -agonists, such as palpitations, chest pain, rapid heart rate, tremor, or nervousness. [See Warnings and Precautions (5.12).]
Reduction in Bone Mineral Density
Advise patients who are at an increased risk for decreased BMD that the use of corticosteroids may pose an additional risk. [See Warnings and Precautions (5.13).]
Reduced Growth Velocity
Inform patients that orally inhaled corticosteroids, including fluticasone propionate, may cause a reduction in growth velocity when administered to pediatric patients. Physicians should closely follow the growth of children and adolescents taking corticosteroids by any route. [See Warnings and Precautions (5.14).]
Glaucoma and Cataracts
Advise patients that long-term use of ICS may increase the risk of some eye problems (cataracts or glaucoma); consider regular eye examinations. [See Warnings and Precautions (5.15).]
