AstraZeneca: FDA approves inhaler for COPD

(CercleFinance.com) - The US Food and Drug Administration has approved an inhaler developed by AstraZeneca to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD.


The device, Breztri Aerosphere, includes an inhaled corticosteroid with a long-acting muscarinic antagonist and a beta2-agonist delivered in a pressurised metered-dose system.

The inhaler, which has already been approved in Japan and China for patients with COPD, is currently under regulatory review in the EU.

Under the terms of a past deal to acquire Pearl Therapeutics, AstraZeneca will make a 150 million dollar milestone payment upon the regulatory approval of Breztri Aerosphere in the US.
