- A retrospective cohort study of claims data demonstrated that following hospital discharge, patients adherent to YUPELRI experienced significantly fewer, and less severe, exacerbations and had significantly lower healthcare costs than non-adherent patients
- Post-hoc analyses of a Phase 3 safety study showed that patients taking YUPELRI had significantly lower incidence of moderate-to-severe acute exacerbations, and overall, less severe exacerbations, than patients taking tiotropium
DUBLIN, Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Theravance Biopharma, Inc. ("Theravance Biopharma" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:TBPH), today announced that it will be presenting two rapid-fire presentations at CHEST 2025, the annual meeting of the American College of Chest Physicians taking place from October 19-22, 2025, in Chicago, IL.
"We are pleased to share new analyses on YUPELRI at the upcoming CHEST Annual Meeting. The findings of the retrospective database analysis of claims data evaluating exacerbations in the 3 months following hospital discharge demonstrates that adherent patients to YUPELRI had significantly fewer exacerbations, and particularly less severe ones, compared to non-adherent patients," commented Antonio Anzueto, M.D., Professor of Medicine, Pulmonary/Critical Section, University of Texas, Health San Antonio. "The analysis not only showed that exacerbations were lower in adherent patients, but also their healthcare-related use and costs were significantly lower, highlighting the dual benefit of YUPELRI on patient outcomes. We are also presenting additional insights from the post-hoc analyses of the 52-week Phase 3 safety study highlighted that the YUPELRI exacerbation profile over 1 year is at least as effective as tiotropium. Taken together, the new analyses further strengthen the already compelling evidence for YUPELRI's use as a once-daily nebulized maintenance treatment for patients with COPD."
