Teva To Present New Respiratory Data At The 2016 Teva Annual Meeting

Positive Data Reported For Teva’s Targeted Biologic; and Pediatric Data on Breath-Actuated, Dry-Powder Short-Acting Beta-Agonist (SABA) Inhaler

JERUSALEM--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., (NYSE and TASE: TEVA) today announced that five company-sponsored abstracts will be presented at the 2016 Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (AAAAI) Annual Meeting in Los Angeles, California on March 4-7, 2016.

“This data highlights our continued commitment to developing medicines, technologies and solutions to help address the unmet needs of patients across the spectrum of respiratory diseases.”

Teva will present results from several analyses of data from the pivotal Phase III clinical trial program for reslizumab, an investigational humanized anti-interleukin-5 (IL-5) monoclonal antibody (mAb) for add-on maintenance treatment of severe asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype. The first oral presentation will highlight results from an analysis that examined the effect of reslizumab on clinical asthma exacerbations in patients with chronic sinusitis and/or nasal polyps in addition to inadequately controlled asthma and elevated blood eosinophils. The second oral session will present results from a pooled analysis that evaluated the efficacy of reslizumab in patients aged 65 years and older with asthma and elevated blood eosinophils. The poster presentation will highlight further analysis of quality of life data in patients with inadequately controlled asthma and elevated blood eosinophils treated with reslizumab.

Additional data to be presented include two poster presentations of pediatric data on ProAir RespiClick^® (albuterol sulfate) Inhalation Powder, a breath-actuated, multi-dose, dry-powder, short-acting beta-agonist (SABA) inhaler. Among the presentations is a dose-ranging efficacy and safety study in which the treatment was compared to both albuterol hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) Inhalation Aerosol and placebo in pediatric patients (ages 4-11) with asthma.

“The AAAAI Annual Meeting provides Teva with an exciting opportunity to showcase the important work being done to support our goal of bringing additional options, such as reslizumab and ProAir RespiClick^®, to asthma patients,” said Tushar Shah, MD, Senior Vice President, Teva Global Respiratory Research and Development. “This data highlights our continued commitment to developing medicines, technologies and solutions to help address the unmet needs of patients across the spectrum of respiratory diseases.”

About Reslizumab

Reslizumab is an investigational humanized interleukin-5 (IL-5) antagonist IgG4K monoclonal antibody (mAb), for add-on maintenance treatment of severe asthma in patients with an eosinophilic phenotype. IL-5 is the most selective eosinophil cytokine known and plays a major role in the maturation, activation and survival of eosinophils. In asthma patients, the eosinophilic phenotype is associated with compromised lung function, more frequent symptoms, and increased risk of exacerbations. Reslizumab binds to human IL-5 and prevents it from binding to the IL-5 receptor, thereby reducing eosinophilic inflammation. Reslizumab has been submitted to and is currently under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency (EMA) and Health Canada.

About ProAir^® RespiClick (albuterol sulfate) Inhalation Powder

ProAir^® RespiClick (albuterol sulfate) Inhalation Powder is indicated in patients 12 years of age and older for the treatment or prevention of bronchospasm with reversible obstructive airway disease and for the prevention of exercise-induced bronchospasm.

• If your symptoms become significantly worse when you use ProAir^® RespiClick, seek medical attention immediately. This may indicate either a worsening of your asthma or a reaction to the medication. Either of these could be life-threatening.
