Teva to Present New Data from CONNECT2 Study on its Digihaler® System at the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (AAAAI) 2023 Annual Meeting


Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., a U.S. affiliate of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE and TASE: TEVA), today announced that new data on its Digihaler System will be presented at the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (AAAAI) 2023 Annual Meeting, being held February 24-27 in San Antonio, Texas. The data includes findings from the CONNECT2 clinical trial program as well as information on patients and healthcare professionals' real-world use of the smart inhaler system. The Digihaler System is the first and only smart inhaler system with built-in sensors that provide objective inhaler event data to help patients and their doctors support asthma management and develop personalized treatment plans.

The data will be featured in five posters, which will highlight:

"The data we are presenting at AAAAI share meaningful insights for doctors and asthma patients about asthma management based on information provided by the Digihaler System," said Tanisha Hill, Senior Medical Director, Respiratory and Digital Health Medical Lead at Teva. "Understanding trends around adherence and predictors of success in disease management are important to informing more personalized treatment."

Digihaler is a digital health system comprised of an electronic multi-dose dry powder smart inhaler, connected app, Digital Health Platform cloud solution and dashboard. Digihaler inhalers have built-in flow sensors that detect, record and store objective data showing how often and how well patients use their inhalers, as measured by inspiratory flow. Patients are able to view their data on the Digihaler app, including inhaler use patterns over time, and can share it with a healthcare provider to facilitate dialogue and personalize treatment discussions. Healthcare providers can also monitor the data on a dashboard with patient permission.

As per the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved label, there is no evidence that the use of the app leads to improved clinical outcomes, including safety and efficacy.

CONNECT2

The CONNECT clinical program evaluated the potential impact of Digihaler System on patient-provider interactions, adherence over time, inhaler technique and frequency of short-acting beta agonist (SABA) use. The CONNECT2 trial was conducted to assess the role of both the ProAir® Digihaler (albuterol sulfate) inhalation powder and AirDuo® Digihaler (fluticasone propionate and salmeterol) inhalation powder in the treatment of asthma as part of the Digihaler System.

CONNECT2 was a 24-week open-label, multicenter, randomized, parallel group study that evaluated the impact of this Digihaler System on asthma management compared to standard of care (SoC) in 427 patients with asthma. Participants in the SoC group continued treatment with their current SoC asthma maintenance and reliever medications.

Digihaler integrated inhalers transmit data wirelessly to a smartphone application (App), which allows for inhaler event tracking. The App includes a voluntary, non-respiratory-specific DSA. The DSA includes questions asking how a patient is feeling on a three-point scale ranging from sad to neutral to happy.

The two CONNECT2 analyses that will be presented at AAAAI explore:

Real-World Digital Health Platform Analysis

The Digihaler Digital Health Platform allows patients to track their inhaler events, and inhaler use, which is recorded as an event when the cap is opened or a patient inhales. The objective data is collected in the App and can be shared with physicians to help them make more informed treatment decisions.

The poster that will be presented at AAAAI explores:

Implementation Study

The study was comprised of telephone interviews and web surveys with specialists who prescribed the digital inhaler to at least one of their patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The surveys and semi-structured interviews were used to evaluate barriers and facilitators to implementation from participants. Investigators utilized the consolidated framework for implementation research (CFIR) theoretical framework to better understand how the Digihaler System was used in clinical practice and report recommendations from early adopters of the technology.
