1 Line of Business: Medi-Cal Effective Date: May 17, 2017 Revision Date: May 17, 2017 COPD Respiratory Antimuscarinics Drug Class Monograph This policy has been developed through review of medical literature, consideration of medical necessity, generally accepted medical practice standards, and approved by the IEHP Pharmacy and Therapeutic Subcommittee. Drugs: Anoro Ellipta (umeclidinium/vilanterol), Bevespi Aerosphere (glycopyrronium/formeterol), Incruse Ellipta (umeclidinium bromide), Spiriva HandiHaler (tiotropium), Spiriva Respimat (tiotropium), Stiolto Respimat (olodaterol/tiotropium), Tudorza Pressair (aclidinium), Utibron Neohaler (indacaterol/glycopyrrolate) Policy/Criteria: A. Non-formulary COPD long acting muscarinic agonist inhaler Diagnosis: a. COPD Specialist: Not Applicable Criteria: a. Failure or clinically significant adverse effects to ONE formulary long acting bronchodilator: Incruse Ellipta, Stiolto Respimat, Tudorza or Serevent. B. Non-formulary COPD long acting combination muscarinic agonist and beta agonist inhaler Diagnosis: a. COPD Specialist: Not Applicable Criteria: a. Failure or clinically significant adverse effects to Stiolto Respimat

2 Clinical Justification: 2017 Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease Bronchodilators in Stable COPD: Bronchodilator medications are central to symptom management in COPD Inhaled therapy is preferred. The choice between beta-agonist, anticholinergic, theophylline or combination therapy depends on availability and individual patient response in terms of symptom relief and side effects Bronchodilators are prescribed on as-needed or on a regular basis to prevent or reduce symptoms Long-acting inhaled bronchodilators are convenient and more effective at producing maintained symptom relief than short-acting bronchodilators Combining bronchodilators of different pharmacological classes may improve efficacy and decrease the risk of side effects compared to increasing the dose of a single bronchodilator Anticholinergics: Tiotropium reduces exacerbations and related hospitalizations, improves symptoms and health status (Evidence A), and improve the effectiveness of pulmonary rehabilitation (Evidence B). The long acting anticholinergics aclidinium and glycopyrronium seem to have similar action on lung function and breathlessness as tiotropium, whereas far less data are available for other outcomes. Combination Bronchodilator Therapy: Combinations of a long-acting beta2 agonist and a long-acting anticholinergic are superior compared to either medication alone in improving FEV1 and symptoms (Evidence A). Combinations of a long-acting beta2 agonist and a long-acting anticholinergic reduce exacerbations compared to monotherapy (Evidence B) or inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting beta2 agonists (Evidence B). The combined use of short or long-acting beta2-agonists and anticholinergics may be considered if symptoms are not improved with single agents. (Evidence B) Comparing tiotropium with other long-acting anticholinergics: In a small trial, a randomized, double-blind, and crossover clinical study comparing aclidinium 400mcg twice daily with tiotropium 18mcg once daily in moderate to severe COPD patients, improvements in FEV1 were superior than placebo, but not significantly different from each other.

3 In a 12-week, randomized, double-blinded clinical study, glycopyrronium 50 mcg demonstrated non-inferiority to tiotropium 18 mcg in trough FEV1 at week 12 and indicated similar effect of both treatments on lung function and clinical outcomes in patients with moderate-to-severe COPD.
