S61 Analysis of the efficacy and safety of the combination of tiotropium + olodaterol in patients with COPD by previous usage of inhaled corticosteroids: Abstract S61 Table 1
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…
P256 Safety Of Once-daily Tiotropium And Olodaterol Fixed-dose Combination Via The Respimat In Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease In Two 1-year Studies
Introduction The fixed-dose combination (FDC) of tiotropium (T), a once-daily long-acting muscarinic antagonist, and olodaterol (O), a once-daily long-acting β 2 -agonist, is currently being evaluated in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Two 52-week, Phase III replicate pivotal studies were conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of FDCs of T and O (T+O) delivered via Respimat® Soft Mist™ inhaler in patients (pts) with GOLD Stage 2–4 COPD. Pooled safety data from the two studies are presented here. Methods These were double-blind, randomised, parallel-group studies with 5 arms: O 5 µg, T 2.5 µg, T 5 µg, T+O 2.5/5 µg, T+O 5/5 µg. Key inclusion criteria were: age ≥40 years, di…
P121 Characteristics of COPD patients with and without maintenance treatment at baseline, by GOLD stage: TONADO: Abstract P121 Table 1
Rationale The efficacy and safety of the once-daily combination of tiotropium (T), a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA), and olodaterol (O), a long-acting β 2 -agonist (LABA), for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been established. We investigated whether there was a difference in the characteristics of COPD patients with and without baseline maintenance treatment. Methods Two replicate, randomised, 52-week, double-blind, parallel-group, Phase III trials (NCT01431274; NCT01431287; n = 5162) assessed the efficacy and safety of once-daily treatment with T+O (2.5/5 μg; 5/5 μg; Respimat® inhaler) compared to the individual components. Baseline characteristi…
P125 Tiotropium plus olodaterol combination therapy provides lung-function benefits when compared to tiotropium alone, irrespective of prior treatment with a long-acting bronchodilator: post hoc analyses of two 1-year studies: Abstract P125 Table 1
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, …
P123 Inhaled corticosteroid plus long-acting β2-agonist therapy is overused in the treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: post hoc analyses of two 1-year studies: Abstract P123 Table 1
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…
