Benefits of tiotropium/olodaterol compared with tiotropium in patients receiving COPD LAMA at baseline: pooled analysis of 4 clinical trials

Determining SGRQ and TDI responder rates across the duration of clinical trials: Results from tiotropium + olodaterol in COPD

2017

Introduction: Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are important in COPD for understanding patients’ symptoms and experience of the disease. Responder rates at specific timepoints are frequently used to analyse clinically important improvements in PROs. Alternatively, responders can be defined using average PRO improvement vs. baseline over the whole study period or the last two timepoints, as recently discussed by the FDA. Aims and objectives: To compare three techniques for determining responder rates of St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) and transition dyspnoea index (TDI). Methods: Two double-blind, replicate, Phase III, 52-week TONADO trials compared tiotropium + olodaterol (T+O…

Acetylcholine mediates the release of IL-8 in human bronchial epithelial cells by a NFkB/ERK-dependent mechanism

2007

Acetylcholine may play a role in cell activation and airway inflammation. We evaluated the levels of both mRNA and protein of muscarinic M(1), M(2), M(3) receptors in human bronchial epithelial cell line (16HBE). 16HBE cells were also stimulated with acetylcholine and extracellular signal-regulated kinase1/2 (ERK1/2) and NFkB pathway activation as well as the IL-8 release was assessed in the presence or absence of the inhibitor of Protein-kinase (PKC) (GF109203X), of the inhibitor of mitogenic activated protein-kinase kinase (MAPKK) (PDO9805), of the inhibitor of kinaseB-alpha phosphorilation (pIkBalpha) (BAY11-7082), and of muscarinic receptor antagonists tiotropium bromide, 4-Diphenylacet…

Cigarette smoke alters non-neuronal cholinergic system components inducing MUC5AC production in the H292 cell line.

2013

Abstract Cigarette smoke extract (CSE) affects the expression of Choline Acetyl-Transferase (ChAT), muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, and mucin production in bronchial epithelial cells. Mucin 5AC (MUC5AC), muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M3, ChAT expression, acetylcholine levels and acetylcholine binding were measured in a human pulmonary mucoepidermoid carcinoma cell line (H292) stimulated with CSE. We performed ChAT/RNA interference experiments in H292 cells stimulated with CSE to study the role of ChAT/acetylcholine in MUC5AC production. The effects of Hemicholinium-3 (HCh-3) (50 μM) (a potent and selective choline uptake blocker) and Tiotropium bromide (Spiriva ® ) (100 nM), alone o…

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…

Oral aphthous-like ulceration due to tiotropium bromide

2007

Unwanted side-effects of a drug therapy are well known to oral medicine specialists and other colleagues. Usually they manifest itself as dry mouth, taste disturbances, various allergic or toxic reactions on the lips and/or in the oral cavity. However, the list of the drugs which might induce unwanted reactions is everyday becoming longer as more and more drugs are introduced on the market. Certain problems when diagnosing and reporting unwanted side effects of the drugs exist as only accurate method of diagnosis is repeated drug use in controlled clinical setting where fatal consequences due to the anaphilactic shock could be avoided. We report a side effect reaction to tiotropium bromide …
