Findings from the first clinical trial program comparing the use of Teva’s Digihaler® System to standard of care in asthma management will be presented across six abstracts
TEL AVIV, Israel & PARSIPPANY, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., a U.S. affiliate of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE and TASE: TEVA), today announced that new findings from the CONNECT clinical trial program assessing the use of the Digihaler System compared to standard of care (SoC) in asthma management will be presented at the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI) 2022 Annual Scientific meeting, being held November 10-14 in Louisville, Kentucky.
The data will be featured in six posters, three of which will highlight results from the CONNECT1 clinical trial evaluating the ProAir® Digihaler (albuterol sulfate) inhalation powder with a built-in electronic sensor in asthma management versus SoC. Three additional posters will share the first data from the CONNECT2 clinical trial assessing the joint use of the ProAir Digihaler and the AirDuo® Digihaler (fluticasone propionate and salmeterol) inhalation powder with a built-in sensor in asthma management versus SoC.
“We are looking forward to presenting six abstracts from our novel CONNECT clinical program assessing the use of the Digihaler System in asthma management and the potential impact of these digital health tools on patient-provider interactions, adherence over time, inhaler technique and frequency of SABA use,” said Randall Brown, MD MPH, Global Lead, Digital Health, Immunology and Respiratory Medical Affairs at Teva. “This is the first clinical trial program to evaluate the Digihaler System and its potential to support asthma management for patients with uncontrolled asthma compared to standard of care.”
The Digihaler is a digital health system comprised of an electronic multidose dry powder smart inhaler, connected app, Digital Health Platform cloud solution and dashboard that tracks reliever inhaler usage and inhalation quality as measured by inspiratory flow to aid in clinical decision-making. As per the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved label, there is no evidence that the use of the app leads to improved clinical outcomes, including safety and efficacy.
CONNECT1
Initial findings from the CONNECT1 trial were recently presented at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress 2022, highlighting the impact of the ProAir Digihaler System on asthma management compared to standard of care (SoC), and the full CONNECT1 results were published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice following the ERS presentations.
The three CONNECT1 data sets that will be presented at ACAAI will highlight:
CONNECT2
The CONNECT2 trial was conducted to assess the role of both the ProAir and AirDuo Digihalers in the treatment of asthma. CONNECT2 was a 24-week open-label, multicenter, randomized, parallel group study that evaluated the ProAir Digihaler and AirDuo Digihaler and their impact on asthma management compared to SoC in 427 patients with asthma. Participants in the SoC group continued treatment with their current SoC asthma maintenance and reliever medications.
The three CONNECT2 data sets that will be presented at ACAAI explore:
