Impact of COPD in the US
  • Affects an estimated 24 million Americans1
  • Annual cost 32.1 billion in 20022
  • 18 billion in direct healthcare costs
  • 14.1 billion in indirect morbidity and mortality
    costs
  • The fourth leading cause of death3
  • 123,974 deaths in 2001

7
Unmet Medical Need
  • Limited treatment options
  • Only bronchodilators are approved for COPD
  • Address only bronchoconstriction
  • Smoking cessation is the only intervention known
    to reduce the rate of decline of FEV1

8
COPD is a Complex Disease
9
ArifloSecond Generation PDE4 Inhibitor
  • Highly Selective PDE4 inhibitor
  • 100 bioavailability
  • Low plasma variability
  • Low potential for drug interactions
  • Improved safety profile
  • Tablet administered orally twice a day
  • Ariflo is an important new option for the
    treatment of COPD

10
TheophyllineNon-Selective PDE Inhibitor
  • Pharmacological activity
  • Methylxanthine
  • Non-selective PDE inhibitor
  • Adverse effects may be related to PDE3 inhibition
  • Effects on other pharmacological pathways(i.e.,
    adenosine receptor antagonism)
  • Unpredictable pharmacokinetic profile
  • Drug and food interactions
  • Wide blood level variation (i.e., elderly,
    smokers)
  • Need for blood level monitoring

11
Phase III Development Program
  • Study/Region Duration
  • 2 Pivotal NA 24 weeks
  • 2 Pivotal EU 24 weeks
  • 1 Cardiovascular Safety NA 12 weeks

  • 1 Lung biopsy EU 12 weeks
  • 1 Lung volume NA 12 weeks
  • 1 Open-Label Extension NA 12-36 months

13
Proposed Indication
  • ARIFLO is indicated for the maintenance of lung
    function (FEV1) in patients with chronic
    obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who are
    poorly responsive to albuterol (increase in FEV1
    of lt15 or lt 200 mL).

Can Ariflo be Compared to Theophylline?
  • No comparable studies of similar design
  • Small numbers of patients (8 to 60 patients)1
  • Short duration (1 day to 8 weeks)
  • Criteria for reversibility vary between studies
  • Non-selective PDE inhibitor
  • Primarily bronchodilator effect
  • Predominantly due to inhibition of PDE32
  • Weak activity at PDE43

Ariflo Safety Conclusions
  • Extensive safety data with exposure to Ariflo up
    to 3 years
  • For patients with GI adverse events, most
    occurred early and were mild to moderate in
    intensity
  • Serious AEs, including GI, were infrequent and
    similar between treatment groups
  • No evidence of an increased risk of
    cardiovascular events

98
FEV1 Limitations
  • Marked individual variation in symptoms and
    disability independent of FEV1
  • Symptomatic and functional response to therapy
    may be independent of FEV1
  • May not reflect changes in important disease
    activity which could lead to long term functional
    decline or frequency of exacerbations

Conclusions
  • Clinically relevant outcomes of novel
    anti-inflammatory agents for COPD
  • Stabilization of FEV1
  • Reduction in lung hyperinflation
  • Airway inflammation
  • FEV1
  • Useful measure of severity and outcome in COPD
  • May not reflect other clinically important
    measures of lung hyperinflation and inflammatory
    activity
