Three 52-week studies in COPD have assessed the efficacy and safety of single-inhaler extrafine formulation triple therapy combining beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP), formoterol fumarate (FF) and glycopyrronium (G) delivered via pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pMDI). BDP/FF/G is now being developed for delivery via multi-dose dry-powder inhaler (DPI; NEXThaler). This study aimed to demonstrate non-inferiority of BDP/FF/G DPI vs pMDI for lung function.
Multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, active-controlled, three-way cross-over study in patients with COPD and post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV) 30-80% predicted. Patients received BDP/FF/G 100/6/10µg via DPI and pMDI, and BDP/FF 100/6µg via pMDI, all two inhalations twice daily for four weeks, with treatments separated by two-week washout. The two co-primary objectives were to demonstrate non-inferiority between the two BDP/FF/G formulations for FEV area under the curve between 0 and 12 hours post-dose (AUC) normalized by time and trough FEV at 24 hours, both on Day 28. EudraCT 2017-004405-41.
Of 449 patients screened, 366 were randomized, with 342 (93.4%) completing all three treatment periods. The primary objectives were met, with changes from baseline in FEV AUC and trough FEV on Day 28 similar for the two BDP/FF/G formulations, and the confidence intervals for the difference lying entirely within the pre-specified non-inferiority criterion (-50mL): -20 (-35, -6) mL and 3 (-15, 20) mL for AUC and trough FEV, respectively. BDP/FF/G pMDI and DPI were statistically superior to BDP/FF for these endpoints (p<0.001). A similar proportion of patients experienced adverse events with each treatment (15.5%, 18.7% and 15.4% with BDP/FF/G DPI and pMDI, and BDP/FF, respectively); the majority were mild or moderate, with few related to treatment.
Extrafine BDP/FF/G DPI and pMDI demonstrated similar efficacy and safety in patients with COPD, supporting the DPI formulation as a valid alternative.
三项为期 52 周的 COPD 研究评估了丙酸倍氯米松(BDP)、富马酸福莫特罗(FF)和格隆溴铵(G)三联干粉吸入剂(DPI)联合用药治疗 COPD 的疗效和安全性,药物通过压力定量气雾剂(pMDI)吸入给药。BDP/FF/G 目前正在开发通过多剂量干粉吸入器(DPI;NEXThaler)给药。本研究旨在证明 BDP/FF/G DPI 与 pMDI 相比在肺功能方面非劣效。
这是一项多中心、随机、双盲、双模拟、活性对照、三交叉研究,纳入了支气管扩张剂后用力呼气量(FEV)占预计值 30-80%的 COPD 患者。患者接受 BDP/FF/G 100/6/10μg 或 BDP/FF 100/6μg 治疗,通过 DPI 或 pMDI 吸入,每日两次,每次两吸,持续四周,每两周洗脱一次。两个主要次要终点是证明两种 BDP/FF/G 制剂在给药后 0 至 12 小时(AUC)与时间的比值(FEV)和 24 小时时的谷值 FEV 在第 28 天具有非劣效性。EudraCT 2017-004405-41。
在筛选的 449 名患者中,366 名患者被随机分配,其中 342 名(93.4%)完成了所有三个治疗期。主要终点达到,BDP/FF/G 两种制剂在第 28 天的 FEV AUC 和谷值 FEV 较基线的变化相似,置信区间完全符合预先设定的非劣效性标准(-50mL):-20(-35,-6)mL 和 3(-15,20)mL,分别用于 AUC 和谷值 FEV。BDP/FF/G pMDI 和 DPI 在这些终点上均优于 BDP/FF(p<0.001)。两种治疗方案的不良事件发生率相似(BDP/FF/G DPI 和 pMDI 组为 15.5%、18.7%和 15.4%,BDP/FF 组为 15.4%);大多数为轻度或中度,少数与治疗相关。
超细 BDP/FF/G DPI 和 pMDI 在 COPD 患者中显示出相似的疗效和安全性,支持 DPI 制剂作为一种有效的替代方案。
