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

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…
