GSK PLC - London-based pharmaceuticals company - Says China's National Medical Products Administration has approved Trelegy Ellipta (fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol, or FF/UMEC/VI) in a new indication, for adults with uncontrolled asthma. This adds to the therapy's current licence for use in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and makes it the first and only single inhaler triple therapy approved for the maintenance treatment of both respiratory conditions in China.

Says asthma is one of the most prevalent chronic respiratory diseases in China, with around 46 million adults affected and approximately half of patients experiencing uncontrolled symptoms. Read More
