Only few randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for head-to-head comparison have been conducted between various combinations of long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMAs) and long-acting beta-agonists (LABAs). Our study was conducted to compare acute exacerbation and all-cause mortality among different LAMA/LABA regimens using Bayesian network meta-analysis (NMA).
We searched Medline, EMBASE, and the Cochrane library (search date: July 1, 2019). We included parallel-group RCTs comparing LAMA/LABA combinations with other inhaled drugs in the stable COPD for ≥ 48 weeks. Two different network geometries were used. The geometry of network (A) had nodes of individual drugs or their combination, while that of network (B) combined all other treatments except LAMA/LABA into each drug class. This study was prospectively registered in PROSPERO; CRD42019126753.
We included 16 RCTs involving a total of 39,065 patients with stable COPD. Six combinations of LAMA/LABA were identified: tiotropium/salmeterol, glycopyrrolate/indacaterol, umeclidinium/vilanterol, tiotropium/olodaterol, aclidinium/formoterol, and glycopyrrolate/formoterol. We found that umeclidinium/vilanterol was associated with a lower risk of total exacerbations than other LAMA/LABAs in the NMA using network (A) (level of evidence: low or moderate). However, the significant differences were not present in the NMA of network (B). There were no significant differences among the LAMA/LABA combinations in terms of the number of moderate to severe exacerbations, all-cause mortality, major adverse cardiovascular events, or pneumonia.
The present NMA including all available RCTs provided that there is no strong evidence suggesting different benefits among LAMA/LABAs in patients with stable COPD who have been followed up for 48 weeks or more.

仅有少数头对头比较的随机对照试验(RCT)比较了各种长效抗胆碱能药物(LAMA)和长效β-激动剂(LABA)的组合。我们进行这项研究是为了使用贝叶斯网络荟萃分析(NMA)比较不同 LAMA/LABA 方案的急性加重和全因死亡率。
我们检索了 Medline、EMBASE 和 Cochrane 图书馆(检索日期:2019 年 7 月 1 日)。我们纳入了比较 LAMA/LABA 联合治疗与其他吸入药物在稳定期 COPD 中治疗≥48 周的平行组 RCT。使用了两种不同的网络几何形状。网络(A)的节点是单一药物或其组合,而网络(B)的节点是将除 LAMA/LABA 以外的所有其他治疗方法组合到每个药物类别中。本研究前瞻性地在 PROSPERO 中注册;CRD42019126753。
我们纳入了 16 项 RCT,共纳入 39065 例稳定期 COPD 患者。确定了 6 种 LAMA/LABA 联合治疗:噻托溴铵/沙美特罗、格隆溴铵/茚达特罗、乌美溴铵/维兰特罗、噻托溴铵/奥达特罗、阿地溴铵/福莫特罗和格隆溴铵/福莫特罗。我们发现,在使用网络(A)进行的 NMA 中,与其他 LAMA/LABAs 相比,乌美溴铵/维兰特罗与较低的总加重风险相关(证据水平:低或中)。然而,在网络(B)的 NMA 中没有发现显著差异。在中重度加重、全因死亡率、主要不良心血管事件或肺炎方面,LAMA/LABA 联合治疗之间没有显著差异。
本包括所有可用 RCT 的 NMA 表明,在随访 48 周或更长时间的稳定期 COPD 患者中,LAMA/LABA 之间没有明显的获益差异。
