Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On September 27, 2015, GlaxoSmithKline plc (GSK) and Theravance, Inc. issued a press release announcing that data presented by GSK at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress from an exploratory post-hoc analysis of phase III data showed that patients with moderate-to-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who received Anoro® Ellipta® (UMEC/VI 62.5/25mcg) had a reduced risk of experiencing a clinically important deterioration compared to tiotropium 18mcg or placebo over a 12-week treatment period. Clinically important deterioration is a novel, composite endpoint which was used in the post-hoc analysis to assess the effect of treatment on a number of factors that are each believed to represent a worsening of a patient’s COPD. The poster presented by GSK at the ERS International Congress and the press release are furnished as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein. UMEC/VI has been developed under the LABA collaboration agreement between GSK and Theravance, Inc.
The information disclosed in this Item 7.01 is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
