Next-generation propellant offers 99.9% reduction in Global Warming Potential compared to current propellants. Trixeo Aerosphere, AstraZeneca's fixed-dosed triple-combination therapy for COPD, is the Company's first medicine to transition to the next-generation propellant.

AstraZeneca's Trixeo Aerosphere (budesonide/glycopyrronium/formoterol fumarate or BGF), already licensed for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults, has received a positive opinion from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency, endorsing it for use in the European Union (EU) with an innovative, next-generation propellant with near-zero Global Warming Potential (GWP).1

Trixeo is the first medicine delivered by a pressurised metered-dose inhaler (pMDI) using a propellant that offers 99.9% lower GWP than propellants used in currently available pMDIs.2 This fixed-dose triple-combination therapy, marketed as Breztri Aerosphere in the US, China and Japan, will now have a low carbon footprint comparable to inhaled medicines that do not require a propellant.3 Based on the CHMP positive opinion, AstraZeneca will now begin to transition its Trixeosupply to the next-generation propellant in Europe.

The CHMP positive opinion is based on results from the next-generation propellant clinical development programme, which demonstrated bioequivalence between Trixeo with the next-generation propellant and Trixeo with the current propellant.4,5 The safety and tolerability profile for Trixeo with the next-generation propellant was consistent with the known profile of the medicine.

Frederik Trinkmann, Professor and Senior Pulmonologist at the Thoracic Clinic at Heidelberg University Hospital, Germany, said: "Respiratory medicines delivered by pressurised metered-dose inhalers are essential for millions of people living with respiratory diseases in Europe, including specific vulnerable populations such as children and the elderly. The transition of Trixeo to the propellant with near-zero Global Warming Potential ensures clinicians' treatment decisions can focus on clinical needs while also supporting environmental goals."   

Ruud Dobber, Executive Vice President, BioPharmaceuticals Business Unit, AstraZeneca, said: "The CHMP positive opinion of Trixeo Aerosphere with the next-generation propellant allows us to address the needs of both patients and the planet and is a significant milestone in our commitment to delivering innovations for sustainable healthcare in the EU. Starting with Trixeo, the transition to the near-zero Global Warming Potential propellant across our pressurised metered-dose inhaled respiratory medicines is an important step towards achieving our Ambition Zero Carbon strategy."

Susanna Palkonen, Director of the European Federation of Allergy and Airways Diseases Patients' Associations, said: "COPD is a devastating disease and the third leading cause of mortality in the world. People living with COPD need access to a treatment which is right for them as well as a healthy environment and clean air. We welcome the positive opinion from the CHMP for the inhaled respiratory medicine containing the next-generation propellant with a significantly reduced carbon footprint."

Trixeo with the next-generation propellant received its first approval in the UK in May 2025 with regulatory applications also currently under review in China and additional countries.

Trixeo is the first medicine in AstraZeneca's portfolio of medicines delivered by pMDIs to transition to the new propellant. AstraZeneca aims to transition its wider pMDI portfolio to the near-zero GWP propellant by 2030 as part of the Company's Ambition Zero Carbon strategy. In the EU, the Company plans to initiate the transition of Trixeo to the next-generation propellant in the coming months.

Chronic respiratory diseases, including COPD, affect hundreds of millions of people around the world.6 Respiratory inhaled medicines delivered by pMDIs account for 76% of all inhaler use in Europe, and contribute 0.04% of global greenhouse gases.7,8 Studies show that the largest environmental contribution from respiratory diseases comes from patients' symptoms not being adequately controlled and resulting increased healthcare utilisation.9,10 Implementing evidence-based guidelines into clinical practice can reduce exacerbations and unscheduled healthcare utilisation, and the resulting improved patient outcomes may also decrease the overall carbon footprint associated with respiratory care.11

Notes

AstraZeneca's next-generation propellant clinical development programme
The clinical development programme has been initiated to assess the efficacy and safety of the next-generation, near-zero Global Warming Potential propellant with the AstraZeneca portfolio of inhaled medicines delivered by pressurised metered-dose inhalers (pMDIs).

The first medicine to be assessed in the programme was  Breztri/Trixeo Aerosphere (budesonide/glycopyrronium/formoterol fumarate or BGF) through in vitro, in vivo bioequivalence (PK), safety and efficacy clinical studies.12-17 The programme established bioequivalence between Breztri/Trixeo with the next-generation propellant and  Breztri/Trixeo with the current propellant.4,5 The safety and tolerability profile for Breztri/Trixeo with the next-generation propellant was consistent with the known profile of the medicine.

Additional studies are underway to assess the bioequivalence of the next-generation propellant to the current propellant with AstraZeneca's other medicines delivered by pMDIs.

Breztri/Trixeo Aerosphere
Budesonide/glycopyrronium/formoterol fumarate (BGF), approved under the brand name Trixeo Aerosphere in the EU and UK and Breztri Aerosphere in Japan, China and the US, is a single-inhaler, fixed-dose triple-combination of formoterol fumarate, a long-acting β2 agonist (LABA), glycopyrronium bromide, a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA), with budesonide, an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS), and delivered via the Aerosphere pMDI. Breztri/Trixeo Aerosphere is approved to treat COPD in more than 80 countries worldwide including the US, EU, China, Japan, and has been prescribed to more than five million patients globally.

Breztri/Trixeo Aerosphere with the next-generation propellant will maintain the same indication, product strength and dosage regimen as Breztri/Trixeo Aerosphere with the current propellant.

AstraZeneca's Collaboration with Honeywell
Developed by Honeywell, the medical grade version of the next-generation propellant is critical to enable the transition of pMDI medicines with reduced climate impact, given its near-zero GWP. AstraZeneca announced in 2022 its collaboration with Honeywell to develop respiratory inhaled medicines using the new propellant.

Ambition Zero Carbon
Through its Ambition Zero Carbon strategy, AstraZeneca is pursuing bold, science-based decarbonisation targets, accelerating progress towards net zero. AstraZeneca was one of the first seven companies globally to have its net zero targets verified by the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Corporate Net-Zero Standard.

AstraZeneca in Respiratory & Immunology
Respiratory & Immunology, part of AstraZeneca BioPharmaceuticals, is a key disease area and growth driver to the Company.

AstraZeneca is an established leader in respiratory care with a 50-year heritage and a growing portfolio of medicines in immune-mediated diseases. The Company is committed to addressing the vast unmet needs of these chronic, often debilitating, diseases with a pipeline and portfolio of inhaled medicines, biologics and new modalities aimed at previously unreachable biologic targets. Our ambition is to deliver life-changing medicines that help eliminate COPD as a leading cause of death, eliminate asthma attacks and achieve clinical remission in immune-mediated diseases.

AstraZeneca
AstraZeneca (LSE/STO/Nasdaq: AZN) is a global, science-led biopharmaceutical company that focuses on the discovery, development, and commercialisation of prescription medicines in Oncology, Rare Diseases, and BioPharmaceuticals, including Cardiovascular, Renal & Metabolism, and Respiratory & Immunology.
