as defined as the maximum FEV1 recorded within 2 hours after the dose of trial medication. The mean peak FEV1 improvement from baseline with BEVESPI AEROSPHERE compared with placebo at Week 24 was 291 mL (95% CI: 252, 331) and 267 mL (95% CI: 226, 308) in Trial 1 and Trial 2, respectively. BEVESPI AEROSPHERE demonstrated an onset of bronchodilatory treatment effect at 5 minutes after the first dose based on a mean increase in FEV1 compared to placebo of 187 mL (95% CI: 168, 205) and 186 mL (95% CI: 164, 207) in Trial 1 and Trial 2, respectively. In both Trial 1 and 2, subjects treated with BEVESPI AEROSPHERE used less daily rescue albuterol compared to subjects treated with placebo.
The St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) was assessed in Trials 1 and 2. In Trial 1, the SGRQ responder rate (defined as an improvement in score of 4 or more as threshold) was 37%, 30%, 35%, and 28% for BEVESPI AEROSPHERE, glycopyrrolate, formoterol fumarate, and placebo, respectively, with odds ratios of 1.4 (95% CI: 1.1, 1.8), 1.1 (95% CI: 0.9, 1.5), and 1.5 (95% CI: 1.1, 2.1), for BEVESPI AEROSPHERE vs. glycopyrrolate, BEVESPI AEROSPHERE vs. formoterol fumarate, and BEVESPI AEROSPHERE vs. placebo, respectively. In Trial 2, the trends were similar, with odds ratios of 1.2 (95% CI: 0.9, 1.6), 1.3 (95% CI: 1.0, 1.7), and 1.3 (95% CI: 0.9, 1.8), for BEVESPI AEROSPHERE vs. glycopyrrolate, BEVESPI AEROSPHERE vs. formoterol fumarate, and BEVESPI AEROSPHERE vs. placebo, respectively.
16 HOW SUPPLIED/STORAGE AND HANDLING
BEVESPI AEROSPHERE Inhalation Aerosol is supplied as a pressurized aluminum canister with an attached dose indicator, a white plastic actuator and mouthpiece, and an orange dust cap. Each 120 inhalation canister has a net fill weight of 10.7 grams. Each canister is packaged in a foil pouch with desiccant sachet and is placed into a carton. Each carton contains one canister and a Medication Guide (NDC 0310-4600-12).
The BEVESPI AEROSPHERE canister should only be used with the BEVESPI AEROSPHERE actuator, and the BEVESPI AEROSPHERE actuator should not be used with any other inhalation drug product.
The correct amount of medication in each inhalation cannot be assured after the label number of inhalations from the canister have been used, when the dose indicator display window shows zero, even though the canister may not feel completely empty. BEVESPI AEROSPHERE should be discarded when the dose indicator display window shows zero or 3 months after removal from the foil pouch, whichever comes first. Never immerse the canister into water to determine the amount remaining in the canister (“float test”).
Store at controlled room temperature 20° to 25°C (68° to 77°F); excursions permitted to 15° to 30°C (59° to 86°F) [see USP].
For best results, the canister should be at room temperature before use. Shake well before using. Keep out of reach of children.
CONTENTS UNDER PRESSURE
Do not puncture. Do not use or store near heat or open flame. Exposure to temperatures above 49°C (120°F) may cause bursting. Never throw canister into fire or incinerator. Avoid spraying in eyes.
