4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS 

 

4.1 Therapeutic indications 

 

Ulunar Breezhaler is indicated as a maintenance bronchodilator treatment to relieve symptoms in adult 

patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). 

 

4.2 Posology and method of administration 

 

Posology 

The recommended dose is the inhalation of the content of one capsule once daily using the Ulunar 

Breezhaler inhaler. 

 

Ulunar Breezhaler is recommended to be administered at the same time of the day each day. If a dose 

is missed, it should be taken as soon as possible on the same day. Patients should be instructed not to 

take more than one dose in a day. 

 

Special populations 

Elderly population 

Ulunar Breezhaler can be used at the recommended dose in elderly patients (75 years of age and 

older). 

 

Renal impairment 

Ulunar Breezhaler can be used at the recommended dose in patients with mild to moderate renal 

impairment. In patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis it 

should be used only if the expected benefit outweighs the potential risk (see sections 4.4 and 5.2). 

 



3 

Hepatic impairment 

Ulunar Breezhaler can be used at the recommended dose in patients with mild and moderate hepatic 

impairment. There are no data available for the use of Ulunar Breezhaler in patients with severe 

hepatic impairment, therefore caution should be observed in these patients (see section 5.2). 

 

Paediatric population 

There is no relevant use of Ulunar Breezhaler in the paediatric population (under 18 years) in the 

indication COPD. The safety and efficacy of Ulunar Breezhaler in children have not been established. 

No data are available. 

 

Method of administration 

For inhalation use only. The capsules must not be swallowed. 

 

The capsules must be administered only using the Ulunar Breezhaler inhaler (see section 6.6). The 

inhaler provided with each new prescription should be used. 

 

Patients should be instructed on how to administer the medicinal product correctly. Patients who do 

not experience improvement in breathing should be asked if they are swallowing the medicinal 

product rather than inhaling it. 

 

For instructions on use of the medicinal product before administration, see section 6.6. 

 

4.3 Contraindications 
 

Hypersensitivity to the active substances or to any of the excipients listed in section 6.1. 

 

4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use 

 

Ulunar Breezhaler should not be administered concomitantly with medicinal products containing other 

long-acting beta-adrenergic agonists or long-acting muscarinic antagonists, the pharmacotherapeutic 

groups to which the components of Ulunar Breezhaler belong (see section 4.5). 

 

Asthma 

Ulunar Breezhaler should not be used for the treatment of asthma due to the absence of data in this 

indication. 

 

Long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonists may increase the risk of asthma-related serious adverse events, 

including asthma-related deaths, when used for the treatment of asthma. 

 

Not for acute use 

Ulunar Breezhaler is not indicated for the treatment of acute episodes of bronchospasm. 

 

Hypersensitivity 

Immediate hypersensitivity reactions have been reported after administration of indacaterol or 

glycopyrronium, which are the active substances of Ulunar Breezhaler. If signs suggesting allergic 

reactions occur, in particular, angioedema (difficulties in breathing or swallowing, swelling of the 

tongue, lips and face), urticaria or skin rash, treatment should be discontinued immediately and 

alternative therapy instituted. 

 

Paradoxical bronchospasm 

Administration of Ulunar Breezhaler may result in paradoxical bronchospasm which can be 

life-threatening. If this occurs, treatment should be discontinued immediately and alternative therapy 

instituted. 

 

  



4 

Anticholinergic effects related to glycopyrronium 

Narrow-angle glaucoma 

No data are available in patients with narrow-angle glaucoma, therefore Ulunar Breezhaler should be 

used with caution in these patients. 

 

Patients should be informed about the signs and symptoms of acute narrow-angle glaucoma and 

should be informed to stop using Ulunar Breezhaler should any of these signs or symptoms develop. 

 

Urinary retention 

No data are available in patients with urinary retention, therefore Ulunar Breezhaler should be used 

with caution in these patients. 

 

Patients with severe renal impairment 

A moderate mean increase in total system exposure (AUClast) to glycopyrronium of up to 1.4-fold was 

seen in subjects with mild and moderate renal impairment and up to 2.2-fold in subjects with severe 

renal impairment and end-stage renal disease. In patients with severe renal impairment (estimated 

glomerular filtration rate below 30 ml/min/1.73 m2), including those with end-stage renal disease 

requiring dialysis, Ulunar Breezhaler should be used only if the expected benefit outweighs the 

potential risk (see section 5.2). These patients should be monitored closely for potential adverse 

reactions. 

 

Cardiovascular effects 

Ulunar Breezhaler should be used with caution in patients with cardiovascular disorders (coronary 

artery disease, acute myocardial infarction, cardiac arrhythmias, hypertension). 

 

Beta2-adrenergic agonists may produce a clinically significant cardiovascular effect in some patients 

as measured by increases in pulse rate, blood pressure, and/or symptoms. In case such effects occur 

with this medicinal product, treatment may need to be discontinued. In addition, beta-adrenergic 

agonists have been reported to produce electrocardiographic (ECG) changes, such as flattening of the 

T wave, prolongation of QT interval and ST segment depression, although the clinical significance of 

these observations is unknown. Therefore, long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonists should be used with 

caution in patients with known or suspected prolongation of the QT interval or treated with medicinal 

products affecting the QT interval. 

 

Patients with unstable ischaemic heart disease, left ventricular failure, history of myocardial infarction, 

arrhythmia (excluding chronic stable atrial fibrillation), a history of long QT syndrome or whose QTc 

(Fridericia method) was prolonged (>450 ms) were excluded from the clinical trials, and therefore 

there is no experience in these patient groups. Ulunar Breezhaler should be used with caution in these 

patient groups. 

 

Hypokalaemia 

Beta2-adrenergic agonists may produce significant hypokalaemia in some patients, which has the 

potential to produce adverse cardiovascular effects. The decrease in serum potassium is usually 

transient, not requiring supplementation. In patients with severe COPD, hypokalaemia may be 

potentiated by hypoxia and concomitant treatment, which may increase the susceptibility to cardiac 

arrhythmias (see section 4.5). 

 

Clinically relevant effects of hypokalaemia have not been observed in clinical studies of Ulunar 

Breezhaler at the recommended therapeutic dose (see section 5.1). 

 

  



5 

Hyperglycaemia 

Inhalation of high doses of beta2-adrenergic agonists may produce increases in plasma glucose. Upon 

initiation of treatment with Ulunar Breezhaler plasma glucose should be monitored more closely in 

diabetic patients. 

 

During long-term clinical studies, more patients on Ulunar Breezhaler experienced clinically notable 

changes in blood glucose (4.9%) at the recommended dose than on placebo (2.7%). Ulunar Breezhaler 

has not been investigated in patients for whom diabetes mellitus is not well controlled, therefore 

caution and appropriate monitoring are advised in such patients. 

 

General disorders 

Ulunar Breezhaler should be used with caution in patients with convulsive disorders or thyrotoxicosis, 

and in patients who are unusually responsive to beta2-adrenergic agonists. 

 

Excipients 

This medicinal product contains lactose. Patients with rare hereditary problems of galactose 

intolerance, total lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take this medicinal 

product. 

 

4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction 

 

Concomitant administration of orally inhaled indacaterol and glycopyrronium, under steady-state 

conditions of both active substances, did not affect the pharmacokinetics of either active substance. 

 

No specific interaction studies were conducted with Ulunar Breezhaler. Information on the potential 

for interactions is based on the potential for each of its two active substances. 

 

Concomitant use not recommended 

Beta-adrenergic blockers 

Beta-adrenergic blockers may weaken or antagonise the effect of beta2-adrenergic agonists. Therefore 

Ulunar Breezhaler should not be given together with beta-adrenergic blockers (including eye drops) 

unless there are compelling reasons for their use. Where required, cardioselective beta-adrenergic 

blockers should be preferred, although they should be administered with caution. 

 

Anticholinergics 

The co-administration of Ulunar Breezhaler with other anticholinergic-containing medicinal products 

has not been studied and is therefore not recommended (see section 4.4). 

 

Sympathomimetics 

Concomitant administration of other sympathomimetics (alone or as part of combination therapy) may 

potentiate the adverse events of indacaterol (see section 4.4). 

 

Caution required with concomitant use 

Hypokalaemic treatment 

Concomitant hypokalaemic treatment with methylxanthine derivatives, steroids, or non-potassium-

sparing diuretics may potentiate the possible hypokalaemic effect of beta2-adrenergic agonists, 

therefore use with caution (see section 4.4). 

 

To be taken into account with concomitant use 

Metabolic and transporter based interactions 

Inhibition of the key contributors of indacaterol clearance, CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein (P-gp), raises 

the systemic exposure of indacaterol up to two-fold. The magnitude of exposure increases due to 

interactions does not raise any safety concerns given the safety experience of treatment with 

indacaterol in clinical studies of up to one year at doses up to twice the maximum recommended 

indacaterol dose. 

 



6 

Cimetidine or other inhibitors of organic cation transport 

In a clinical study in healthy volunteers, cimetidine, an inhibitor of organic cation transport which is 

thought to contribute to the renal excretion of glycopyrronium, increased total exposure (AUC) to 

glycopyrronium by 22% and decreased renal clearance by 23%. Based on the magnitude of these 

changes, no clinically relevant drug interaction is expected when glycopyrronium is co-administered 

with cimetidine or other inhibitors of the organic cation transport. 

 

4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation 
 

Pregnancy 

There are no data from the use of Ulunar Breezhaler in pregnant women available. Animal studies do 

not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to reproductive toxicity at clinically relevant 

exposures (see section 5.3). 

 

Indacaterol may inhibit labour due to a relaxant effect on uterine smooth muscle. Therefore, Ulunar 

Breezhaler should only be used during pregnancy if the expected benefit to the patient justifies the 

potential risk to the foetus. 

 

Breast-feeding 

It is not known whether indacaterol, glycopyrronium and their metabolites are excreted in human milk. 

Available pharmacokinetic/toxicological data have shown excretion of indacaterol, glycopyrronium 

and their metabolites in the milk of lactating rats. The use of Ulunar Breezhaler by breast-feeding 

women should only be considered if the expected benefit to the woman is greater than any possible 

risk to the infant (see section 5.3). 

 

Fertility 

Reproduction studies and other data in animals do not indicate a concern regarding fertility in either 

males or females. 

 

4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines 
 

This medicinal product has no or negligible influence on the ability to drive and use machines. 

However, the occurrence of dizziness may influence the ability to drive and use machines (see 

section 4.8). 

 

4.8 Undesirable effects 

 

The presentation of the safety profile is based on the experience with Ulunar Breezhaler and the 

individual active substances. 

 

Summary of the safety profile 

The safety experience with Ulunar Breezhaler was comprised of exposure of up to 15 months at the 

recommended therapeutic dose. 

 

Ulunar Breezhaler showed similar adverse reactions to the individual components. As it contains 

indacaterol and glycopyrronium, the type and severity of adverse reactions associated with each of 

these components may be expected in the combination. 

 

The safety profile is characterised by typical anticholinergic and beta-adrenergic symptoms related to 

the individual components of the combination. Other most common adverse reactions related to the 

medicinal product (at least 3% of patients for Ulunar Breezhaler and also greater than placebo) were 

cough, nasopharyngitis and headache.

Description of selected adverse reactions 

Cough was common, but usually of mild intensity. 

 

Reporting of suspected adverse reactions 

Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. It 

allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare 

professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the national reporting system 

listed in Appendix V. 

 

4.9 Overdose 

 

There is no information on clinically relevant overdosing with Ulunar Breezhaler. 

 

An overdose could lead to exaggerated effects typical of beta2-adrenergic stimulants, i.e. tachycardia, 

tremor, palpitations, headache, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, ventricular arrhythmias, metabolic 

acidosis, hypokalaemia and hyperglycaemia or could induce anticholinergic effects such as increased 

intraocular pressure (causing pain, vision disturbances or reddening of the eye), obstipation or 

difficulties in voiding. Supportive and symptomatic treatment is indicated. In serious cases, patients 

should be hospitalised. Use of cardioselective beta blockers may be considered for treating beta2-

adrenergic effects, but only under the supervision of a physician and with extreme caution since the 

use of beta-adrenergic blockers may provoke bronchospasm.

5. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES 
 

5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties 
 

Pharmacotherapeutic group: Drugs for obstructive airway diseases, adrenergics in combination with 

anticholinergics, ATC code: R03AL04 

 

Mechanism of action 

Ulunar Breezhaler 

When indacaterol and glycopyrronium are administered together in Ulunar Breezhaler, they provide 

additive efficacy due to their different mode of action targeting different receptors and pathways to 

achieve smooth muscle relaxation. Due to the differential density of beta2-adrenoceptors and 

M3-receptors in central versus peripheral airways, beta2-agonists should be more effective in relaxing 

peripheral airways, whilst an anticholinergic compound may be more effective in central airways. 

Thus for bronchodilation in both peripheral and central airways of the human lung a combination of a 

beta2-adrenergic agonist and a muscarinic antagonist may be beneficial. 

 

Indacaterol 

Indacaterol is a long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist for once-daily administration. The 

pharmacological effects of beta2-adrenoceptor agonists, including indacaterol, are at least in part 

attributable to stimulation of intracellular adenyl cyclase, the enzyme that catalyses the conversion of 

adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to cyclic-3’, 5’-adenosine monophosphate (cyclic AMP). Increased 

cyclic AMP levels cause relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle. In vitro studies have shown that 

indacaterol has multi-fold greater agonist activity at beta2-receptors compared to beta1 and 

beta3-receptors. 

 

When inhaled, indacaterol acts locally in the lung as a bronchodilator. Indacaterol is a partial agonist 

at the human beta2-adrenergic receptor with nanomolar potency. 

 

Although beta2-adrenergic receptors are the predominant adrenergic receptors in bronchial smooth 

muscle and beta1-adrenergic receptors are the predominant receptors in the human heart, there are also 

beta2-adrenergic receptors in the human heart comprising 10% to 50% of the total adrenergic 

receptors. Their presence in the heart raises the possibility that even highly selective beta2-adrenergic 

agonists may have cardiac effects. 

 

Glycopyrronium 

Glycopyrronium is an inhaled long-acting muscarinic receptor antagonist (anticholinergic) for 

once-daily maintenance bronchodilator treatment of COPD. Parasympathetic nerves are the major 

bronchoconstrictive neural pathway in airways, and cholinergic tone is the key reversible component 

of airflow obstruction in COPD. Glycopyrronium works by blocking the bronchoconstrictor action of 

acetylcholine on airway smooth muscle cells, thereby dilating the airways. 

 

Glycopyrronium bromide is a high affinity muscarinic receptor antagonist. A greater than 4-fold 

selectivity for the human M3 receptors over the human M2 receptor has been demonstrated using 

radioligand binding studies. 

 

Pharmacodynamic effects 

The combination of indacaterol and glycopyrronium in Ulunar Breezhaler showed a rapid onset of 

action within 5 minutes after dosing. The effect remains constant over the whole 24-h dosing interval. 

 

The mean bronchodilator effect derived from serial FEV1 measurements over 24 h was 320 ml after 

26 weeks of treatment. The effect was significantly greater for Ulunar Breezhaler, when compared to 

indacaterol, glycopyrronium or tiotropium alone (difference 110 ml, for each comparison). 

 

There was no evidence for tachyphylaxis to the effect of Ulunar Breezhaler over time when compared 

to placebo or its monotherapy components. 

 



10 

Effects on heart rate 

Heart rate effects in healthy volunteers were investigated after a single dose of 4 times the 

recommended therapeutic dose of Ulunar Breezhaler administered in four dose steps each separated by 

one hour and compared to the effects of placebo, indacaterol, glycopyrronium and salmeterol. 

 

The largest time-matched heart rate increase compared to placebo was +5.69 bpm (90% CI [2.71, 

8.66]), the largest decrease was -2.51 bpm (90% CI [-5.48, 0.47]). Overall the effect on heart rate over 

time did not show a consistent pharmacodynamic effect of Ulunar Breezhaler. 

 

Heart rate in COPD patients at supratherapeutic dose levels was investigated. There were no relevant 

effects of Ulunar Breezhaler on mean heart rate over 24 h and heart rate assessed after 30 minutes, 4 h 

and 24 h. 

 

QT interval 

The components of Ulunar Breezhaler are not known to have a QT-prolongation potential at clinical 

dose levels. A thorough QT (TQT) study in healthy volunteers with high doses of inhaled indacaterol 

(up to twice the maximum recommended therapeutic dose) did not demonstrate a clinically relevant 

effect on the QT interval. Similarly, for glycopyrronium no QT prolongation was observed in a TQT 

study after an inhaled dose of 8 times the recommended therapeutic dose. 

 

The effects of Ulunar Breezhaler on QTc interval were investigated in healthy volunteers after 

inhalation of Ulunar Breezhaler up to 4 times the recommended therapeutic dose in four dose steps 

each separated by one hour. The largest time-matched difference versus placebo was 4.62 ms (90% CI 

0.40, 8.85 ms), the largest time-matched decrease was -2.71 ms (90% CI -6.97, 1.54 ms), indicating 

that Ulunar Breezhaler had no relevant impact on the QT interval, as was expected by the properties of 

its components. 

 

In COPD patients, supratherapeutic doses between 116 micrograms/86 micrograms and 

464 micrograms/86 micrograms of Ulunar Breezhaler showed a higher proportion of patients with 

QTcF increases vs. baseline between 30 ms and 60 ms (ranging from 16.0% to 21.6% vs. 1.9% for 

placebo), but there were no QTcF increases >60 ms from baseline. The highest dose level of 

464 micrograms/86 micrograms Ulunar Breezhaler also showed a higher proportion of absolute QTcF 

values >450 ms (12.2% vs. 5.7% for placebo). 

 

Serum potassium and blood glucose 

In healthy volunteers, after the administration of 4 times the recommended therapeutic dose of Ulunar 

Breezhaler, the effect on serum potassium was very small (maximal difference –0.14 mmol/l when 

compared to placebo). The maximal effect on blood glucose was 0.67 mmol/l. 

 

Clinical efficacy and safety 

The Ulunar Breezhaler clinical Phase III development programme included six studies in which over 

8,000 patients were enrolled: 1) a 26-week placebo- and active-controlled (indacaterol once daily, 

glycopyrronium once daily, open-label tiotropium once daily) study; 2) a 26-week active-controlled 

(fluticasone/salmeterol twice daily) study; 3) a 64-week active-controlled (glycopyrronium once daily, 

open-label tiotropium once daily) study; 4) a 52-week placebo-controlled study; 5) a 3-week placebo- 

and active-controlled (tiotropium once daily) exercise tolerance study; and 6) a 52-week active-

controlled (fluticasone/salmeterol twice daily) study. 

 

In four of these studies patients were enrolled who had a clinical diagnosis of moderate to severe 

COPD. In the 64-week study patients were enrolled who had severe to very severe COPD with a 

history of ≥1 moderate or severe COPD exacerbation in the previous year. In the 52-week active-

controlled study, patients were enrolled who had moderate to very severe COPD with a history of 

≥1 moderate or severe COPD exacerbation in the previous year. 

 

  



11 

Effects on lung function 

Ulunar Breezhaler showed clinically meaningful improvements in lung function (as measured by the 

forced expiratory volume in one second, FEV1) in a number of clinical studies. In Phase III studies, 

bronchodilator effects were seen within 5 minutes after the first dose and were maintained over the 

24-hour dosing interval from the first dose. There was no attenuation of the bronchodilator effect over 

time. 

 

The magnitude of the effect was dependent on the degree of reversibility of airflow limitation at 

baseline (tested by administration of a short-acting muscarinic antagonist bronchodilator and a 

short-acting beta2-agonist bronchodilator): Patients with the lowest degree of reversibility at baseline 

(<5%) generally exhibited a lower bronchodilator response than patients with a higher degree of 

reversibility at baseline (≥5%). At 26 weeks (primary endpoint), Ulunar Breezhaler increased trough 

FEV1 by 80 ml in patients (Ulunar Breezhaler n=82; placebo n=42) with the lowest degree of 

reversibility (<5%) (p=0.053) and by 220 ml in those patients (Ulunar Breezhaler n=392, placebo 

n=190) with a higher degree of reversibility at baseline (≥5%) compared to placebo (p<0.001). 

 

Trough and peak FEV1: 

Ulunar Breezhaler increased post-dose trough FEV1 by 200 ml compared to placebo at the 26-week 

primary endpoint (p<0.001) and showed statistically significant increases compared to each 

monotherapy component treatment arm (indacaterol and glycopyrronium) as well as the tiotropium 

treatment arm, as shown in the below table. 

 

Post-dose trough FEV1 (least squares mean) at day 1 and week 26 (primary endpoint) 

 

Treatment difference Day 1 Week 26 

Ulunar Breezhaler – placebo 190 ml (p<0.001) 200 ml (p<0.001) 

Ulunar Breezhaler – indacaterol 80 ml (p<0.001) 70 ml (p<0.001) 

Ulunar Breezhaler – glycopyrronium 80 ml (p<0.001) 90 ml (p<0.001) 

Ulunar Breezhaler – tiotropium 80 ml (p<0.001) 80 ml (p<0.001) 

 

The mean pre-dose FEV1 (average of the values taken at -45 and -15 minutes prior to the morning 

dose of study medication) was statistically significant in favour of Ulunar Breezhaler at week 26 

compared to fluticasone/salmeterol (least squares [LS] mean treatment difference 100 ml, p<0.001), at 

week 52 compared to placebo (LS mean treatment difference 189 ml, p<0.001) and at all visits up to 

week 64 compared to glycopyrronium (LS mean treatment difference 70-80 ml, p<0.001) and 

tiotropium (LS mean treatment difference 60-80 ml, p<0.001). In the 52-week active-controlled study, 

the mean pre-dose FEV1 was statistically significant in favour of Ulunar Breezhaler at all visits up to 

week 52 compared to fluticasone/salmeterol (LS mean treatment difference 62-86 ml, p<0.001). At 

week 26, Ulunar Breezhaler produced statistically significant improvement in peak FEV1 compared to 

placebo in the first 4 hours post dose (LS mean treatment difference 330 ml) (p<0.001). 

 

FEV1 AUC: 

Ulunar Breezhaler increased post-dose FEV1 AUC0-12 (primary endpoint) by 140 ml at 26 weeks 

(p<0.001) compared to fluticasone/salmeterol. 

 

Symptomatic outcomes 

Breathlessness: 

Ulunar Breezhaler statistically significantly reduced breathlessness as evaluated by the Transitional 

Dyspnoea Index (TDI); it demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in the TDI focal score 

at week 26 compared to placebo (LS mean treatment difference 1.09, p<0.001), tiotropium (LS mean 

treatment difference 0.51, p=0.007) and fluticasone/salmeterol (LS mean treatment difference 0.76, 

p=0.003). Improvements versus indacaterol and glycopyrronium were 0.26 and 0.21, respectively. 

 

  



12 

A statistically significantly higher percentage of patients receiving Ulunar Breezhaler responded with 

a 1 point or greater improvement in the TDI focal score at week 26 compared to placebo (68.1% and 

57.5% respectively, p=0.004). A higher proportion of patients demonstrated clinically meaningful 

response at week 26 on Ulunar Breezhaler as compared to tiotropium (68.1% Ulunar Breezhaler 

versus 59.2% tiotropium, p=0.016) and fluticasone/salmeterol (65.1% Ulunar Breezhaler versus 55.5% 

fluticasone/salmeterol, p=0.088). 

 

Health-related quality of life: 

Ulunar Breezhaler has also shown a statistically significant effect on health-related quality of life 

measured using the St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) as indicated by a reduction in 

SGRQ total score at 26 weeks compared to placebo (LS mean treatment difference -3.01, p=0.002) 

and tiotropium (LS mean treatment difference -2.13, p=0.009) and reductions versus indacaterol and 

glycopyrronium were -1.09 and -1.18, respectively. At 64 weeks, the reduction compared to 

tiotropium was statistically significant (LS mean treatment difference -2.69, p<0.001). At 52 weeks, 

the reduction compared to fluticasone/salmeterol was statistically significant (LS mean treatment 

difference -1.3, p=0.003). 

 

A higher percentage of patients receiving Ulunar Breezhaler responded with a clinically meaningful 

improvement in SGRQ score (defined as a decrease of at least 4 units from baseline) at week 26 

compared to placebo (63.7% and 56.6% respectively, p=0.088) and tiotropium (63.7% Ulunar 

Breezhaler vs. 56.4% tiotropium, p=0.047), at week 64 compared to glycopyrronium and tiotropium 

(57.3% Ulunar Breezhaler versus 51.8% glycopyrronium, p=0.055; versus 50.8% tiotropium, p=0.051, 

respectively), and at week 52 compared to fluticasone/salmeterol (49.2% Ulunar Breezhaler vs. 43.7% 

fluticasone/salmeterol, odds ratio: 1.30, p<0.001). 

 

Daily activities 

Ulunar Breezhaler demonstrated a statistically superior improvement versus tiotropium in the 

percentage of “days able to perform usual daily activities” over 26 weeks (LS mean treatment 

difference 8.45%, p<0.001). At week 64, Ulunar Breezhaler showed numerical improvement over 

glycopyrronium (LS mean treatment difference 1.95%; p=0.175) and statistical improvement over 

tiotropium (LS mean treatment difference 4.96%; p=0.001). 

 

COPD exacerbations 

In a 64-week study comparing Ulunar Breezhaler (n=729), glycopyrronium (n=739) and tiotropium 

(n=737), Ulunar Breezhaler reduced the annualised rate of moderate or severe COPD exacerbations by 

12% compared to glycopyrronium (p=0.038) and by 10% compared to tiotropium (p=0.096). The 

number of moderate or severe COPD exacerbations/patient-years was 0.94 for Ulunar Breezhaler 

(812 events), 1.07 for glycopyrronium (900 events) and 1.06 for tiotropium (898 events). Ulunar 

Breezhaler also statistically significantly reduced the annualised rate of all COPD exacerbations (mild, 

moderate or severe) by 15% as compared to glycopyrronium (p=0.001) and 14% as compared to 

tiotropium (p=0.002). The number of all COPD exacerbations/patient-years was 3.34 for Ulunar 

Breezhaler (2,893 events), 3.92 for glycopyrronium (3,294 events) and 3.89 for tiotropium 

(3,301 events). 

 

In the 52-week study comparing Ulunar Breezhaler (n=1,675) and fluticasone/salmeterol (n=1,679), 

Ulunar Breezhaler met the primary study objective of non-inferiority in rate of all COPD 

exacerbations (mild, moderate or severe) compared to fluticasone/salmeterol. The number of all 

COPD exacerbations/patient-years was 3.59 for Ulunar Breezhaler (4,531 events) and 4.03 for 

fluticasone/salmeterol (4,969 events). Ulunar Breezhaler further showed superiority in reducing the 

annualised rate of all exacerbations by 11% versus fluticasone/salmeterol (p=0.003). 

 

  



13 

Compared to fluticasone/salmeterol, Ulunar Breezhaler reduced the annualised rate of both moderate 

or severe exacerbations by 17% (p<0.001), and of severe exacerbations (requiring hospitalisation) by 

13% (not statistically significant, p=0.231). The number of moderate or severe COPD 

exacerbations/patient-years was 0.98 for Ulunar Breezhaler (1,265 events) and 1.19 for 

fluticasone/salmeterol (1,452 events). Ulunar Breezhaler prolonged time to first moderate or severe 

exacerbation with a 22% reduction in risk of an exacerbation (p<0.001) and prolonged time to first 

severe exacerbation with a 19% reduction in risk of an exacerbation (p=0.046). 

 

The incidence of pneumonia was 3.2% in the Ulunar Breezhaler arm compared to 4.8% in the 

fluticasone/salmeterol arm (p=0.017). Time to first pneumonia was prolonged with Ulunar Breezhaler 

compared to fluticasone/salmeterol (p=0.013). 

 

In another study comparing Ulunar Breezhaler (n=258) and fluticasone/salmeterol (n=264), for 

26 weeks , the number of moderate or severe COPD exacerbations/patient-years was 0.15 versus 0.18 

(18 events versus 22 events), respectively (p=0.512), and the number of all COPD 

exacerbations/patients-years (mild, moderate or severe) was 0.72 versus 0.94 (86 events versus 

113 events), respectively (p=0.098). 

 

Use of rescue medication 

Over 26 weeks, Ulunar Breezhaler statistically significantly reduced the use of rescue medication 

(salbutamol) by 0.96 puffs per day (p<0.001) compared to placebo, 0.54 puffs per day (p<0.001) 

compared to tiotropium and 0.39 puffs per day (p=0.019) compared to fluticasone/salmeterol. Over 

64 weeks, this reduction was 0.76 puffs per day (p<0.001) compared to tiotropium. Over 52 weeks, 

Ulunar Breezhaler reduced the use of rescue medication by 0.25 puffs per day compared to 

fluticasone/salmeterol (p<0.001). 

 

Exercise tolerance 

Ulunar Breezhaler, dosed in the morning, reduced dynamic hyperinflation and improved the length of 

time exercise could be maintained from the first dose onwards. On the first day of treatment, 

inspiratory capacity under exercise was significantly improved (LS mean treatment difference 250 ml, 

p<0.001) compared to placebo. After three weeks of treatment, the improvement in inspiratory 

capacity with Ulunar Breezhaler was greater (LS mean treatment difference 320 ml, p<0.001) and 

exercise endurance time increased (LS mean treatment difference 59.5 seconds, p=0.006) compared to 

placebo. 

 

Paediatric population 

The European Medicines Agency has waived the obligation to submit the results of studies with 

Ulunar Breezhaler in all subsets of the paediatric population in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 

(COPD) (see section 4.2 for information on paediatric use). 

 

5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties 

 

Absorption 

Ulunar Breezhaler 

Following inhalation of Ulunar Breezhaler, the median time to reach peak plasma concentrations of 

indacaterol and glycopyrronium was approximately 15 minutes and 5 minutes, respectively. 

 

Based on the in vitro performance data, the dose of indacaterol delivered to the lung is expected to be 

similar for Ulunar Breezhaler and indacaterol monotherapy product. Steady-state exposure to 

indacaterol after Ulunar Breezhaler inhalation was either similar or slightly lower than systemic 

exposure after indacaterol monotherapy product inhalation. 

 

Following inhalation of Ulunar Breezhaler, the absolute bioavailability of indacaterol has been 

estimated to range from 61 to 85% of the delivered dose, and that of glycopyrronium was about 47% 

of the delivered dose. 

 

  



14 

Steady-state exposure to glycopyrronium after Ulunar Breezhaler inhalation was similar to systemic 

exposure after glycopyrronium monotherapy product inhalation. 

 

Indacaterol 

Steady state concentrations of indacaterol were achieved within 12 to 15 days following once-daily 

administration. The mean accumulation ratio of indacaterol, i.e. AUC over the 24-h dosing interval on 

day 14 or day 15 compared to day 1, was in the range of 2.9 to 3.8 for once-daily inhaled doses 

between 60 micrograms and 480 micrograms (delivered dose). 

 

Glycopyrronium 

In patients with COPD, pharmacokinetic steady-state of glycopyrronium was reached within one week 

of the start of treatment. The steady-state mean peak and trough plasma concentrations of 

glycopyrronium at the recommended once-daily dosing regimen were 166 picograms/ml and 

8 picograms/ml, respectively. Steady-state exposure to glycopyrronium (AUC over the 24-hour dosing 

interval) was about 1.4- to 1.7-fold higher than after the first dose. 

 

Distribution 

Indacaterol 

After intravenous infusion the volume of distribution of indacaterol during the terminal elimination 

phase was 2557 litres indicating an extensive distribution. The in vitro human serum and plasma 

protein binding was about 95%. 

 

Glycopyrronium 

After intravenous dosing, the steady-state volume of distribution of glycopyrronium was 83 litres and 

the volume of distribution in the terminal phase was 376 litres. The apparent volume of distribution in 

the terminal phase following inhalation was almost 20-fold larger, which reflects the much slower 

elimination after inhalation. The in vitro human plasma protein binding of glycopyrronium was 38% 

to 41% at concentrations of 1 to 10 nanograms/ml. 

 

Biotransformation 

Indacaterol 

After oral administration of radiolabelled indacaterol in a human ADME (absorption, distribution, 

metabolism, excretion) study, unchanged indacaterol was the main component in serum, accounting 

for about one third of total drug-related AUC over 24 hours. A hydroxylated derivative was the most 

prominent metabolite in serum. Phenolic O-glucuronides of indacaterol and hydroxylated indacaterol 

were further prominent metabolites. A diastereomer of the hydroxylated derivative, a N-glucuronide of 

indacaterol, and C- and N-dealkylated products were further metabolites identified. 

 

In vitro the UGT1A1 isoform is a major contributor to the metabolic clearance of indacaterol. 

However, as shown in a clinical study in populations with different UGT1A1 genotypes, systemic 

exposure to indacaterol is not significantly affected by the UGT1A1-genotype. 

 

Oxidative metabolites were found in incubations with recombinant CYP1A1, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4. 

CYP3A4 is concluded to be the predominant isoenzyme responsible for hydroxylation of indacaterol. 

In vitro investigations further indicated that indacaterol is a low affinity substrate for the efflux pump 

P-gp. 

 

Glycopyrronium 

In vitro metabolism studies showed consistent metabolic pathways for glycopyrronium bromide 

between animals and humans. Hydroxylation resulting in a variety of mono- and bis-hydroxylated 

metabolites and direct hydrolysis resulting in the formation of a carboxylic acid derivative (M9) were 

seen. In vivo, M9 is formed from the swallowed dose fraction of inhaled glycopyrronium bromide. 

Glucuronide and/or sulfate conjugates of glycopyrronium were found in urine of humans after 

repeated inhalation, accounting for about 3% of the delivered dose. 

 

  



15 

Multiple CYP isoenzymes contribute to the oxidative biotransformation of glycopyrronium. Inhibition 

or induction of the metabolism of glycopyrronium is unlikely to result in a relevant change of systemic 

exposure to the active substance. 

 

In vitro inhibition studies demonstrated that glycopyrronium bromide has no relevant capacity to 

inhibit CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1 or CYP3A4/5, the 

efflux transporters MDR1, MRP2 or MXR, and the uptake transporters OCT1 or OCT2. In vitro 

enzyme induction studies did not indicate a clinically relevant induction by glycopyrronium bromide 

for any of the cytochrome P450 isoenzymes tested or for UGT1A1 and the transporters MDR1 and 

MRP2. 

 

Elimination 

Indacaterol 

In clinical studies, the amount of indacaterol excreted unchanged via urine was generally lower than 

2.5% of the delivered dose. Renal clearance of indacaterol was, on average, between 0.46 and 

1.2 litres/hour. When compared with the serum clearance of indacaterol of 23.3 litres/hour, it is 

evident that renal clearance plays a minor role (about 2 to 5% of systemic clearance) in the elimination 

of systemically available indacaterol. 

 

In a human ADME study, indacaterol given orally was excreted into human faeces primarily as 

unchanged parent substance (54% of the dose) and, to a lesser extent, hydroxylated indacaterol 

metabolites (23% of the dose). 

 

Indacaterol serum concentrations declined in a multi-phasic manner with an average terminal half-life 

ranging from 45.5 to 126 hours. The effective half-life, calculated from the accumulation of 

indacaterol after repeated dosing ranged from 40 to 52 hours which is consistent with the observed 

time-to-steady state of approximately 12-15 days. 

 

Glycopyrronium 

After intravenous administration of [3H]-labelled glycopyrronium bromide, the mean urinary excretion 

of radioactivity in 48 hours amounted to 85% of the dose. A further 5% of the dose was found in the 

bile. 

 

Renal elimination of parent drug accounts for about 60 to 70% of total clearance of systemically 

available glycopyrronium whereas non-renal clearance accounts for about 30 to 40%. Biliary 

clearance contributes to the non-renal clearance, but the majority of non-renal clearance is thought to 

be due to metabolism. 

 

Mean renal clearance of glycopyrronium following inhalation was in the range of 17.4 and 

24.4 litres/h. Active tubular secretion contributes to the renal elimination of glycopyrronium. Up to 

23% of the delivered dose was found in urine as parent drug. 

 

Glycopyrronium plasma concentrations declined in a multi-phasic manner. The mean terminal 

elimination half-life was much longer after inhalation (33 to 57 hours) than after intravenous 

(6.2 hours) and oral (2.8 hours) administration. The elimination pattern suggests sustained lung 

absorption and/or transfer of glycopyrronium into the systemic circulation at and beyond 24 h after 

inhalation. 

 

Linearity/non-linearity 

Indacaterol 

Systemic exposure to indacaterol increased with increasing (delivered) dose (120 micrograms to 

480 micrograms) in a dose proportional manner. 

 

  



16 

Glycopyrronium 

In COPD patients both systemic exposure and total urinary excretion of glycopyrronium at 

pharmacokinetic steady state increased about dose-proportionally over the (delivered) dose range of 44 

to 176 micrograms. 

 

Special populations 

Ulunar Breezhaler 

A population pharmacokinetic analysis of data in COPD patients after inhalation of Ulunar Breezhaler 

indicated no significant effect of age, gender and (lean body) weight on the systemic exposure to 

indacaterol and glycopyrronium. Lean body weight (which is a function of weight and height) was 

identified as a covariate. A negative correlation between systemic exposure and lean body weight (or 

body weight) was observed; however, no dose adjustment is recommended due to the magnitude of the 

change or the predictive precision of lean body weight. 

 

Smoking status and baseline FEV1 had no apparent effect on systemic exposure to indacaterol and 

glycopyrronium after inhalation of Ulunar Breezhaler. 

 

Indacaterol 

A population pharmacokinetic analysis showed that there is no clinically relevant effect of age (adults 

up to 88 years), sex, weight (32-168 kg) or race on the pharmacokinetics of indacaterol. It did not 

suggest any difference between ethnic subgroups in this population. 

 

Glycopyrronium 

A population pharmacokinetic analysis of data in COPD patients identified body weight and age as 

factors contributing to inter-patient variability in systemic exposure. Glycopyrronium at the 

recommended dose can be safely used in all age and body weight groups. 

 

Gender, smoking status and baseline FEV1 had no apparent effect on systemic exposure. 

 

Patients with hepatic impairment 

Ulunar Breezhaler: 

Based on the clinical pharmacokinetic characteristics of its monotherapy components, Ulunar 

Breezhaler can be used at the recommended dose in patients with mild and moderate hepatic 

impairment. No data are available for subjects with severe hepatic impairment. 

 

Indacaterol: 

Patients with mild and moderate hepatic impairment showed no relevant changes in Cmax or AUC of 

indacaterol, nor did protein binding differ between mild and moderate hepatic impaired subjects and 

their healthy controls. Studies in subjects with severe hepatic impairment were not performed. 

 

Glycopyrronium: 

Clinical studies have not been conducted in patients with hepatic impairment. Glycopyrronium is 

cleared predominantly from the systemic circulation by renal excretion. Impairment of the hepatic 

metabolism of glycopyrronium is not thought to result in a clinically relevant increase of systemic 

exposure. 

 

Patients with renal impairment 

Ulunar Breezhaler: 

Based on the clinical pharmacokinetic characteristics of its monotherapy components, Ulunar 

Breezhaler can be used at the recommended dose in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment. 

In patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis, Ulunar 

Breezhaler should be used only if the expected benefit outweighs the potential risk. 

 

Indacaterol: 

Due to the very low contribution of the urinary pathway to total body elimination of indacaterol 

maleate, a study in renal impaired subjects was not performed. 

 



17 

Glycopyrronium: 

Renal impairment has an impact on the systemic exposure to glycopyrronium bromide. A moderate 

mean increase in total systemic exposure (AUClast) of up to 1.4-fold was seen in subjects with mild and 

moderate renal impairment and up to 2.2-fold in subjects with severe renal impairment and end-stage 

renal disease. In COPD patients with mild and moderate renal impairment (estimated glomerular 

filtration rate, eGFR ≥30 ml/min/1.73 m2) glycopyrronium bromide can be used at the recommended 

dose. 

 

Ethnicity 

Ulunar Breezhaler: 

There were no major differences in total systemic exposure (AUC) for both compounds between 

Japanese and Caucasian subjects. Insufficient pharmacokinetic data is available for other ethnicities or 

races. 

 

Indacaterol: 

No difference between ethnic subgroups was identified. Limited treatment experience is available for 

the black population. 

 

Glycopyrronium: 

There were no major differences in total systemic exposure (AUC) between Japanese and Caucasian 

subjects. Insufficient pharmacokinetic data is available for other ethnicities or races. 

 

5.3 Preclinical safety data 

 

Ulunar Breezhaler 

Pre-clinical studies included in vitro and in vivo safety pharmacology assessments, repeated-dose 

inhalation toxicity studies in rats and dogs and an inhalation embryo-foetal development study in rats. 

 

Increased heart rates were apparent in dogs at all doses of Ulunar Breezhaler and each monotherapy 

component. The effects on heart rate for Ulunar Breezhaler increased in magnitude and duration when 

compared with the changes observed for each component alone consistent with an additive response. 

Shortening of electrocardiograph intervals and decreased systolic and diastolic blood pressure were 

also apparent. Indacaterol administered to dogs alone or in Ulunar Breezhaler was associated with a 

similar incidence and severity of myocardial lesions. Systemic exposures (AUC) at the 

no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) for myocardial lesions were 64- and 59-fold higher than in 

humans, for each component respectively. 

 

No effects on the embryo or foetus were seen at any dose level of Ulunar Breezhaler during an 

embryo-foetal development study in rats. Systemic exposures (AUC) at the 

no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) were 79- and 126-fold higher than in humans, for 

indacaterol and glycopyrronium respectively. 

 

Indacaterol 

Effects on the cardiovascular system attributable to the beta2-agonistic properties of indacaterol 

included tachycardia, arrhythmias and myocardial lesions in dogs. Mild irritancy of the nasal cavity 

and larynx were seen in rodents. All these findings occurred at exposures sufficiently in excess of 

those anticipated in humans. 

 

Although indacaterol did not affect general reproductive performance in a rat fertility study, a decrease 

in the number of pregnant F1 offspring was observed in the peri- and post-developmental rat study at 

an exposure 14-fold higher than in humans treated with indacaterol. Indacaterol and its metabolites 

transferred rapidly into the milk of lactating rats.Indacaterol was not embryotoxic or teratogenic in rats 

or rabbits. 

 

  



18 

Genotoxicity studies did not reveal any mutagenic or clastogenic potential. Carcinogenicity was 

assessed in a two-year rat study and a six-month transgenic mouse study. Increased incidences of 

benign ovarian leiomyoma and focal hyperplasia of ovarian smooth muscle in rats were consistent 

with similar findings reported for other beta2-adrenergic agonists. No evidence of carcinogenicity was 

seen in mice. Systemic exposures (AUC) in rats and mice at the no-observed-adverse-effect levels in 

these studies were at least 7- and 49-fold higher, respectively, than in humans treated with indacaterol 

once a day at the maximum recommended therapeutic dose. 

 

Glycopyrronium 

Non-clinical data reveal no special hazard for humans based on conventional studies of safety 

pharmacology, repeated dose toxicity, genotoxicity, carcinogenic potential, toxicity to reproduction 

and development. 

 

Effects attributable to the muscarinic receptor antagonist properties of glycopyrronium bromide 

included mild to moderate increases in heart rate in dogs, lens opacities in rats and, reversible changes 

associated with reduced glandular secretions in rats and dogs. Mild irritancy or adaptive changes in the 

respiratory tract were seen in rats. All these findings occurred at exposures sufficiently in excess of 

those anticipated in humans. 

 

Glycopyrronium was not teratogenic in rats or rabbits following inhalation administration. Fertility 

and pre- and post-natal development were not affected in rats. Glycopyrronium bromide and its 

metabolites did not significantly cross the placental barrier of pregnant mice, rabbits and dogs. 

Glycopyrronium bromide (including its metabolites) was excreted into the milk of lactating rats and 

reached up to 10-fold higher concentrations in the milk than in the blood of the dam. 

 

Genotoxicity studies did not reveal any mutagenic or clastogenic potential for glycopyrronium 

bromide. Carcinogenicity studies in transgenic mice using oral administration and in rats using 

inhalation administration revealed no evidence of carcinogenicity at systemic exposures (AUC) of 

approximately 53-fold higher in mice and 75-fold higher in rats than the maximum recommended dose 

once daily for humans.

harmful. The chances of 

the capsule breaking into 

small pieces will be 

increased if the capsule is 

pierced more than once. 

Disposing of the inhaler 

after use 

Each inhaler should be 

disposed of after all 

capsules have been used. 

Ask your pharmacist how 

to dispose of medicines 

and inhalers that are no 

longer required.

Instructions for use of Ulunar Breezhaler inhaler 

 

 

1. What Ulunar Breezhaler is and what it is used for 

 

What Ulunar Breezhaler is 

This medicine contains two active substances called indacaterol and glycopyrronium. These belong to 

a group of medicines called bronchodilators. 

 

What Ulunar Breezhaler is used for 

This medicine is used to make breathing easier for adult patients who have breathing difficulties due to 

a lung disease called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In COPD the muscles around the 

airways tighten. This makes breathing difficult. This medicine blocks the tightening of these muscles 

in the lungs, making it easier for air to get in and out of the lungs. 

 

If you use this medicine once a day, it will help to reduce the effects of COPD on your everyday life. 

 

 

  



40 

2. What you need to know before you use Ulunar Breezhaler 
 

Do not use Ulunar Breezhaler 
- if you are allergic to indacaterol or glycopyrronium or any of the other ingredients of this 

medicine (listed in section 6).

Frequently Asked 

Questions 

 

Why didn’t the inhaler 

make a noise when I 

inhaled? 

The capsule may be stuck 

in the capsule chamber. If 

this happens, carefully 

loosen the capsule by 

tapping the base of the 

inhaler. Inhale the 

medicine again by 

repeating steps 3a to 3c. 

 

What should I do if there 

is powder left inside the 

capsule? 

You have not received 

enough of your medicine. 

Close the inhaler and 

repeat steps 3a to 3c. 

 

I coughed after inhaling 

– does this matter? 

This may happen. As long 

as the capsule is empty 

you have received enough 

of your medicine. 

 

I felt small pieces of the 

capsule on my tongue – 

does this matter? 

This can happen. It is not 

harmful. The chances of 

the capsule breaking into 

small pieces will be 

increased if the capsule is 

pierced more than once. 

Cleaning the inhaler 

Wipe the mouthpiece 

inside and outside with a 

clean, dry, lint-free cloth to 

remove any powder 

residue. Keep the inhaler 

dry. Never wash your 

inhaler with water. 

Disposing of the inhaler 

after use 

Each inhaler should be 

disposed of after all 

capsules have been used. 

Ask your pharmacist how 

to dispose of medicines 

and inhalers that are no 

longer required.
