Lung deposition of extrafine vs non-extrafine triple therapies in patients with COPD using Functional Respiratory Imaging (FRI)
2019
Introduction: FRI is a validated computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-based technique using aerosol delivery performance profile, patients’ high-resolution lung CT scans and patient-derived inhalation profiles to simulate aerosol lung deposition. Aims and Objectives: To evaluate lung deposition patterns of extrafine beclometasone dipropionate/formoterol fumarate/glycopyrronium [BDP/FF/G; TRIMBOW®] pressurized metered dose inhaler (pMDI) and non-extrafine fluticasone furoate/vilanterol/umeclidinium [FluF/VI/UMEC; TRELEGY® ELLIPTA®] dry powder inhaler (DPI) in patients with stable COPD and moderate to very severe airflow obstruction. Methods: Intrathoracic depositions of the inhaled corticoster…
