β-Blockers in COPD

2018

Background Cardiovascular disease is a frequent comorbidity in patients with COPD. Many physicians, particularly pulmonologists, are reluctant to use β-adrenoceptor blocking agents (β-blockers) in patients with COPD, despite their proven effectiveness in preventing cardiovascular events. Methods The large (5,162 patients) phase III TONADO 1 and 2 studies assessed lung function and patient-reported outcomes in patients with moderate to very severe COPD receiving long-acting bronchodilator treatment across 1 year. This post hoc analysis characterized lung-function changes, patient-reported outcomes, and safety in the subgroup of patients receiving β-blockers in the studies. Results In total, …

P254 Once-daily Tiotropium And Olodaterol Fixed-dose Combination Via The Respimat(R) Improves Outcomes Versus Mono-components In Copd In Two 1-year S…

2014

Introduction Tiotropium (T), a once-daily long-acting muscarinic antagonist, is a well-established first-line maintenance treatment in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); olodaterol (O) is a once-daily long-acting β 2 -agonist that has recently gained approval in several countries. Two Phase III replicate pivotal studies assessed the efficacy and safety of fixed-dose combinations of T and O (T+O) delivered via Respimat ® Soft Mist™ inhaler in patients with GOLD 2–4 COPD. Methods Two 52-week, double-blind, parallel-group studies randomised 5162 patients to O 5 µg, T 2.5 µg, T 5 µg, T+O 2.5/5 µg or T+O 5/5 µg. Primary efficacy end points were trough forced expiratory volume in 1 sec…

Safety of tiotropium/olodaterol in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: pooled analysis of three large, 52-week, randomized clinical trials.

2018

Abstract Background An extensive clinical trial program supports the efficacy and safety of tiotropium/olodaterol in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We examined the safety of tiotropium/olodaterol compared with tiotropium in a large population of patients, focusing on cardiovascular and respiratory events. Methods Patients (n = 9942) who received once-daily tiotropium/olodaterol 5/5 μg or tiotropium 5 μg (via Respimat®) in TONADO 1 & 2 and DYNAGITO were included. The number of patients and exposure-adjusted rate of events are presented for adverse events (AEs), serious AEs (SAEs), AEs leading to discontinuation, and cardiovascular and respiratory events. Findings Fewer patient…

Tiotropium and olodaterol fixed-dose combination versus mono-components in COPD (GOLD 2-4).

2015

Efficacy and safety of tiotropium+olodaterol fixed-dose combination (FDC) compared with the mono-components was evaluated in patients with moderate to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in two replicate, randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, multicentre, phase III trials. Patients received tiotropium+olodaterol FDC 2.5/5 μg or 5/5 μg, tiotropium 2.5 μg or 5 μg, or olodaterol 5 μg delivered once-daily via Respimat inhaler over 52 weeks. Primary end points were forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) area under the curve from 0 to 3 h (AUC0–3) response, trough FEV1 response and St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) total score at 24 weeks. In total, 5162 patien…

The impact of grouping patients by the 2017 GOLD COPD strategy on response to therapy: post hoc results from the TONADO tiotropium+olodaterol trials

2017

Introduction: In the 2017 GOLD COPD strategy the classification of patients by assessment of symptoms and history of exacerbation is used to guide treatment choices. The previous strategy also included lung function. Aims and objectives: To investigate the effect of the 2017 classification on an analysis of the efficacy of tiotropium+olodaterol (T+O) in GOLD stage A/B patients with COPD. Methods: Patients from the Phase III, replicate 52-week TONADO studies (NCT01431274, NCT01431287), who received T+O or the mono-components, were classed as GOLD A/B or C/D by the 2017 strategy (using exacerbation history) or 2014 strategy (using lung function and exacerbation history). Since mMRC Dyspnoea S…

2016

BACKGROUND Increasing age is associated with poor prognosis in patients with COPD. OBJECTIVE This analysis from the replicate Phase III OTEMTO® and TONADO® studies examined the efficacy and safety of tiotropium, a long-acting anticholinergic, combined with olodaterol, a long-acting β2-agonist, compared to monotherapies and placebo in patients with COPD aged 40 years to <65 years, 65 years to <75 years, 75 years to <85 years, and ≥85 years. METHODS In these double-blind, parallel-group, active-controlled, multicenter, randomized studies, patients received tiotropium + olodaterol 2.5/5 μg or 5/5 μg, tiotropium 5 μg or 2.5 μg (TONADO only), olodaterol 5 μg (TONADO only), or placebo (OTEMTO onl…

2015

Rationale Tiotropium (T), a long-acting muscarinic antagonist, and olodaterol (O), a long-acting β 2 -agonist (both administered once daily), have been studied as a once-daily combination. Two Phase III studies have demonstrated that T+O significantly improved lung function and symptoms over T and O monotherapy treatments in patients with moderate to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). 1 During these studies, patients were allowed to continue existing treatment with inhaled corticosteroids (ICS); this analysis was conducted to determine the effects of study treatment in patients receiving or not receiving ICS as reported at baseline. Methods A total of 5162 patients we…

2015

Rationale Tiotropium plus olodaterol (T+O) is a novel once-daily combination of the long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) tiotropium (T) and the recently approved long-acting β 2 -agonist (LABA) olodaterol, for use as maintenance treatment in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). These post hoc analyses of data from the two pivotal 1-year TONADO studies determined whether treatment with a long-acting bronchodilator (LABD) prior to randomisation affected the lung-function benefits of T+O 5/5 µg (via Respimat®) compared to T 5 µg (via Respimat®). Methods In the studies, 2124 patients had not received prior LABD treatment (T+O n = 426; T n = 454) and 3038 patients had (T+O n = 603, …

2015

Rationale Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) plus long-acting β2-agonist (LABA) therapy is indicated for different patient groups with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the USA and Europe. In the previous version of the Global initiative for chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) recommendations, the use of ICS plus LABA therapy was restricted to patients with severe and very severe lung-function impairment and frequent exacerbations, with overtreatment in milder patient populations well documented. The current GOLD document recommends the use of ICS plus LABA maintenance therapy for patients in categories C and D. Methods We present post hoc analyses from the two pivotal 1-year TO…

P294 Benefits of tiotropium/olodaterol over tiotropium at delaying clinically significant events in patients with copd classified as gold B

2016

Rationale The once-daily combination of tiotropium (T), a long-acting muscarinic antagonist, and olodaterol (O), a long-acting β 2 -agonist, has demonstrated efficacy and safety in COPD. Two large clinical studies (TONADO ® 1 + 2) have also demonstrated the benefits of T/O compared to the monocomponents in patients with moderate to very severe COPD. This post hoc analysis investigated whether T/O is more effective than T at delaying clinically significant events in patients with GOLD stage B COPD. Methods A total of 5162 patients were randomised to O 5 µg, T 2.5 µg, T 5 µg, T/O 2.5/5 µg or T/O 5/5 µg (delivered via Respimat ® inhaler) in two 52-week, parallel-group, double-blind studies (NC…
