P260 Tiotropium Respimat(R) Add-on To Inhaled Corticosteroids Improves Lung Function In Patients With Symptomatic Mild Asthma: Results From A Phase Iii Trial
Background Despite currently available therapies and detailed guidelines, many people with mild asthma remain symptomatic; it is important to establish the efficacy and safety of new treatments in this group. Methods A Phase III, randomised, double-blind, parallel-group trial (GraziaTinA-asthma ® ; NCT01316380) evaluated the efficacy and safety of once-daily tiotropium 5 µg or 2.5 µg versus placebo (all delivered via the Respimat ® SoftMist™ inhaler) for 12 weeks in patients with symptomatic asthma on low-dose inhaled corticosteroids (200–400 µg budesonide or equivalent). The primary end point was peak forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV 1 ) within 3 h of dosing (0–3h) response (chang…
P149 Once-daily tiotropium Respimat® add-on to at least ICS in adult patients with symptomatic asthma: pooled safety analysis: Abstract P149 Table 1
Background A high proportion of patients with asthma are symptomatic despite at least ICS maintenance therapy. Five trials aimed to evaluate the safety of tiotropium Respimat® compared with placebo Respimat®, each as add-on to at least ICS in adult patients with symptomatic asthma. Methods Five Phase III and one Phase II randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trials. PrimoTinA-asthma® (48 weeks): tiotropium Respimat® 5 µg add-on to ICS + LABA (≥800 µg budesonide or equivalent); MezzoTinA-asthma® (24 weeks): tiotropium Respimat® 5 µg or 2.5 µg add-on to ICS (400–800 µg budesonide or equivalent); GraziaTinA-asthma® (12 weeks): tiotropium Respimat® 5 µg or 2.5 µg add-on t…
