HERTFORDSHIRE, England, and PITTSBURGH, May 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Global pharmaceutical company Mylan N.V. (NASDAQ: MYL) today announced four scientific abstracts from the Wixela™ Inhub™ (fluticasone propionate and salmeterol inhalation powder, USP) development program that will be presented at the 2019 American Thoracic Society (ATS) International Conference in Dallas, May 17 – May 22. The data, available for the first time publicly, further supports the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's approval in January 2019 of Mylan's Abbreviated New Drug Application for Wixela Inhub, which is indicated for certain patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Mylan PresidentRajiv Malik commented, "We are extremely proud to present for the first time publicly our rigorous data package that demonstrated therapeutic equivalence between Wixela Inhub and Advair Diskus®. The four studies being presented describe the pulmonary and systemic bioequivalence between the two products, device usability that enabled substitutability, and product and device robustness. The American Thoracic Society International Conference is the perfect forum to share with this important medical community the strong science that supported the introduction of the first FDA-approved therapeutically equivalent, substitutable generic of Advair Diskus®."
