“…Primary variable, PDC Patients receiving FF/VI OD demonstrated higher PDC and probability of achieving a clinically significant level of adherence, as well as lower risk of discontinuation compared with those receiving BUD/FOR BID | Parimi et al, 2020 [ 28 ] | Retrospective new-user, active comparator database | FF/VI 100/25 µg OD FF/VI 200/25 µg OD BUD/FOR 100/6 µg (MART/BID) a BUD/FOR 200/6 µg (MART/BID) a BUD/FOR 400/12 µg (MART/BID) | Comparison of treatment persistence. Primary variable, time to discontinuation | Patients who initiated FF/VI OD were less likely to discontinue treatment and showed greater treatment adherence (higher mean PDC) than patients who initiated BUD/FOR BID |
Sicras-Mainar et al, 2022 [ 29 ] | Observational, retrospective | FF/VI 100/25 µg OD FF/VI 200/25 µg OD BUD/FOR 200/6 µg BID BUD/FOR 200/6 µg BID × 2 BUD/FOR 400/12 μg BID × 2 | Main endpoints (not stated as primary): comparison of treatment persistence (6- and 12-month rate), % MPR (number of days of medication dispensed by number of days on treatment), and exacerbations (mean no., no. per year, % patients with event) | Compared with BUD/FOR BID, FF/VI OD was associated with significantly increased treatment persistence and MPR, resulting in a lower percentage of patients reporting exacerbations (mean number of exacerbations was similar between groups) |
Stanford et al, 2019 [ 31 ] | Retrospective cohort | FF/VI 100/25 μg OD BUD/FOR 160/4.5 µg BID | Adherence, measured by PDC; persistence, measured by time to index treatment discontinuation; and AMR | Patients initiating once-daily FF/VI were more likely to be adherent and have an AMR ≥ 0.5, and were less likely to discontinue therapy compared with patients initiating twice-daily BUD/FOR |
