Teva to Present First Data Set from the CONNECT1 Clinical Trial on ProAir® Digihaler® (albuterol sulfate) Inhalation Powder at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress 2022

The study evaluated the effect of the ProAir Digihaler System on asthma control versus standard of care as measured by the Asthma Control Test, and explored use of the ProAir Digihaler System to help support patient-physician interactions for asthma management versus standard of care

Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., a U.S. affiliate of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE and TASE: TEVA), today announced that the first findings from the CONNECT clinical program on ProAir® Digihaler® (albuterol sulfate) inhalation powder with an integrated electronic module (eModule) will be presented at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress 2022, held September 4-6 in Barcelona, Spain.

The CONNECT1 trial was conducted to assess the role of the ProAir Digihaler System in the treatment of asthma. The ProAir Digihaler System is a digital health system that tracks reliever inhaler usage and inhalation quality as measured by inspiratory flow to aid in clinical decision-making. The Digihaler System is comprised of the ProAir digital inhaler, smart device application, Digital Health Platform cloud solution and dashboard to record and track usage.

CONNECT1, the first study in the CONNECT clinical program, is a 12-week, open-label, multicenter, randomized, parallel group study that evaluated the ProAir Digihaler System and its impact on asthma management compared to standard of care (SoC) in 333 patients with asthma. Participants in the SoC group were treated with their SoC albuterol reliever inhalers and did not use the Digihaler System throughout the study’s treatment period.

Initial findings from CONNECT1 will be presented at ERS via two posters. One poster presentation will explore the effectiveness of the ProAir Digihaler System on improving asthma control versus SoC in adult and pediatric (13 years of age and older) patients with suboptimal asthma control. A second poster presentation will examine the impact of the ProAir Digihaler System on patient-physician interactions as part of asthma management versus SoC.

“We are excited to showcase these data to provide important insights into the use of a digital tool and how data collected from the ProAir Digihaler System may help inform more personalized asthma management,” said Randall Brown, MD, Global Lead, Digital Health, Immunology and Respiratory Medical Affairs at Teva. “Our latest data at ERS will explore how the ProAir Digihaler System – the first and only breath-actuated, digital SABA inhaler with built-in flow sensors – could yield more informed interactions between patients and providers.”

This presentation can be accessed by registering for the meeting.

Teva-sponsored data to be presented includes:

About ProAir Digihaler

The Digihaler Inhalers are the first family of smart inhalers with built-in sensors that capture personal inhaler data and allow patients to track and share their data. ProAir Digihaler (albuterol sulfate) Inhalation Powder is the first and only breath-actuated, digital short-acting beta agonist (SABA) inhaler with built-in flow sensors that detect, record and store objective data showing how often and how well patients use their rescue inhaler, as measured by inspiratory flow. Patients are able to view their personalized data on the Digihaler app and can share it with a healthcare provider to inform their asthma treatment plan, facilitate dialogue and guide decisions around treatment adjustments. This personal inhaler data can record how well a patient uses their inhaler by measuring the strength of inhalations, indicating when inhaler technique may need improvement. In addition, the data can capture rescue inhaler user patterns over time and show trends indicating when increasing SABA use might be associated with disease worsening.

ProAir Digihaler Indications and Usage

ProAir Digihaler (albuterol sulfate) Inhalation Powder is a prescription medicine used in people ≥4 years of age for the treatment or prevention of bronchospasm in people who have reversible obstructive airway disease and for the prevention of exercise-induced bronchospasm.

Important Safety Information About ProAir Digihaler

  • Contraindications: ProAir Digihaler (albuterol sulfate) Inhalation Powder is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to albuterol or patients with a severe hypersensitivity to milk proteins. Rare cases of hypersensitivity reactions, including urticaria, angioedema, and rash have been reported after the use of albuterol sulfate. There have been reports of anaphylactic reactions in patients using inhalation therapies containing lactose
  • Paradoxical Bronchospasm: ProAir Dighaler can produce paradoxical bronchospasm that may be life-threatening. Discontinue ProAir Digihaler and institute alternative therapy if paradoxical bronchospasm occurs
  • Deterioration of Asthma: Need for more doses of ProAir Digihaler than usual may be a marker of acute or chronic deterioration of asthma and requires reevaluation of treatment, such as possible need for anti-inflammatory treatment, e.g., corticosteroids
  • Use of Anti-Inflammatory Agents: ProAir Digihaler alone may not be adequate to control asthma in many patients. Early consideration should be given to adding anti-inflammatory agents, e.g., corticosteroids
  • Cardiovascular Effects: ProAir Digihaler, like other beta-adrenergic agonists, can produce clinically significant cardiovascular effects in some patients, as measured by heart rate, blood pressure, and/or symptoms. If such effects occur, the drug may need to be discontinued. ProAir Digihaler, like all sympathomimetic amines, should be used with caution in patients with cardiovascular disorders, especially coronary insufficiency, cardiac arrhythmias, and hypertension
  • Do Not Exceed Recommended Dose: Fatalities have been reported in association with excessive use of inhaled sympathomimetic drugs in patients with asthma
  • Hypersensitivity Reactions including Anaphylaxis: Immediate hypersensitivity reactions may occur after administration of albuterol sulfate, as demonstrated by rare cases of urticaria, angioedema, rash, bronchospasm, anaphylaxis, and oropharyngeal edema. Hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis, angioedema, pruritus, and rash have been reported with the use of therapies containing lactose, an inactive ingredient in ProAir Digihaler
  • Coexisting Conditions: ProAir Digihaler, like all sympathomimetic amines, should be used with caution in patients with convulsive disorders, hyperthyroidism, or diabetes mellitus; and in patients who are unusually responsive to sympathomimetic amines
  • Hypokalemia: As with other beta-agonists, ProAir Digihaler may produce significant hypokalemia in some patients. The decrease is usually transient, not requiring supplementation
  • Most common adverse reactions (≥1% and >placebo) are back pain, pain, gastroenteritis viral, sinus headache, urinary tract infection, nasopharyngitis, oropharyngeal pain and vomiting
  • Drug Interactions: Other short-acting sympathomimetic bronchodilators should not be used concomitantly with ProAir Digihaler
    • Beta-Blockers: Beta-adrenergic-receptor blocking agents not only block the pulmonary effect of beta-agonists, such as ProAir Digihaler, but may produce severe bronchospasm in asthmatic patients. Therefore, patients with asthma should not normally be treated with beta-blockers
    • Diuretics: Caution is advised in the coadministration of beta-agonists with non-potassium sparing diuretics (such as loop or thiazide diuretics). Consider monitoring potassium levels
    • Digoxin: Carefully evaluate the serum digoxin levels in patients who are currently receiving digoxin and ProAir Digihaler
    • Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors or Tricyclic Antidepressants: ProAir Digihaler should be administered with extreme caution to patients being treated with these agents, or within 2 weeks of discontinuation of these agents, because the action of albuterol on the cardiovascular system may be potentiated. Consider alternative therapy
