Abstrakt: | Purpose: To compare the bronchodilator efficacy of 18 μg once-daily tiotropium inhalation administered via Discair ® versus HandiHaler ® in adults with moderate-to-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Patients and Methods: Fifty-eight patients with moderate-to-severe COPD were enrolled in this randomized, active-controlled, parallel-group, open-label, Phase IV non-inferiority trial. Patients were randomly assigned to a test group (n=29, inhalation with Discair) or a reference group (n=29, inhalation with HandiHaler). The primary efficacy parameter was the average maximum change in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV Results: The test inhaler was non-inferior to the reference inhaler in terms of maximum change in FEV Conclusion: Our findings show that the Discair was non-inferior to the HandiHaler. More specifically, these devices had similar clinical efficacy in terms of time-dependent response over 24 h for patients with moderate-to-severe COPD. Competing Interests: The authors report no conflicts of interest in this work. |
