Popis: Background Current guidelines for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease overlap (ACO) recommend initial treatment using inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) plus 1 or more bronchodilators. Objective To clarify which therapeutic effect is better between the ICS + long-acting β2 agonist (LABA) and ICS + LABA + long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) treatment in patients with ACO. Methods We conducted a multicenter, 48-week, randomized, noninferiority trial. Patients with ACO were enrolled if they were treated with a moderate to high dose of ICS + LABA. In total, 303 patients were involved in the present trial, with 149 receiving ICS + LABA + LAMA. The primary end point was the time to first exacerbation. Secondary outcomes included changes in FEV1, forced vital capacity, FEV1/forced vital capacity ratio, asthma control, blood eosinophil count, and fractional exhaled nitric oxide. Results In the ICS + LABA treatment group, 29 of 154 patients (18.83%) experienced exacerbation, whereas 28 of 149 patients (18.79%) experienced exacerbation in the ICS + LABA + LAMA treatment group. The results of this noninferiority study were ultimately inconclusive (hazard ratio, 1.1; 95% CI, 0.66-1.84). However, the patients treated with the addition of LAMA showed significant improvements in FEV1 and forced vital capacity (P Conclusions Although this study was unable to conclude that ICS + LABA treatment is not inferior to ICS + LABA + LAMA in terms of exacerbation, it is obvious that the ICS + LABA + LAMA treatment group had improved lung function in ACO.
