ICER seeks to judge value of Trelegy and Breo Ellipta in COPD

4 March 2025

The USA's Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER) has published a special report on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) therapies as part of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) public comment process on Medicare drug price negotiations.

UK drugmaker GSK’s (LSE: GSK) Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol) and Breo Ellipta (fluticasone furoate/vilanterol) are the therapies in question in the report, which reflects legislative specifications in the Inflation Reduction Act and subsequent CMS guidance.

The report focuses on the medical evidence and value of these two inhalers, specifically for COPD, a condition which more than 15 million Americans suffer from.
