  13. CHRONIC MANAGEMENT OF COPD (GOLD Guidelines Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2001;163:1256-1276) Education • Spirometry Diagnose • Smoking cessation • Immunize • Reduce other exposures Reduce Risk Education • Bronchodilators • Consider inhaled steroids • Pulmonary rehabilitation Reduce Symptoms Education Reduce Complications • Consider oxygen • Treat exacerbations Education

  18. OBJECTIVES FOR INTERVENTIONS IN THE CHRONIC MANAGEMENT OF COPD • Improvement in Lung Function • Improve Quality of Life (Healthcare Status) • Relieve Symptoms • Decrease Exacerbations • Decrease Hospitalizations • Decelerate Decline in Lung Function • Increase Life Expectancy • Achieve Objectives in a Cost-Effective Manner

  19. First Line Therapy in COPD is • Preventative • AVOID TOBACCO

  20. GOLD Guidelines (GOLD Guidelines Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2001;163:1256-1276) Bronchodilation is first-line pharmacologic therapy in COPD

  21. PHARMACOLOGIC ARMAMENTARIUM • Anticholinergics (Parasympatholytic) • Short-acting inhaled (Ipratropium) • Long-acting (Tiotropium) • Beta Agonists (Sympathomimetic) • Short-acting inhaled (numerous available) • Long-acting inhaled (Salmeterol, Formoterol) • Methylxanthines (Sympathomimetic) • Anti-Inflammatory • Oral Steroids • Inhaled Steroids • Other anti-inflammatory agents (data pending)

  22. 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 ANTICHOLINERGICS AND SHORT-ACTING BETA-AGONISTS ENHANCE FEV1 IN COPD . Test Day 85 Albuterol (N=165) 1 Ipratroprium (N=176) % Change in mean FEV 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Hours After Test Dose Chest 105:1411, 1994

  23. LONG-ACTING INHALED BETA AGONISTS • Duration: Bronchodilation lasts for up to 12 hours • Peak action: Fomoterol (30 min), onset within 5 min Salmeterol (1-2hr), not indicated for exacerbations • Most helpful: • Non-compliant patients (less frequent dosing) • Nocturnal component of COPD • ? Of cost-benefit compared to short-acting beta-agonists

  24. Placebo Salmeterol Ipratopium Change from Baseline FEV1 SALMETEROL IN COPD(Mahler et al, Chest 115:957, 1999)

  25. SALMETEROL IN COPD(Mahler et al, Chest 115:957, 1999) • For patients ‘non-responsive’ to albuterol, (n=145, 35% ), ipratropium lead to greater bronchodilation compared to other treatments • The mean transitional dyspnea index was significantly improved vs placebo and not significantly different for salmeterol vs ipratropium • Ipratropium lead to a significantly improved 6 min walk vs placebo whereas salmeterol did not • Night time dyspnea was improved with salmeterol treatment • Overall, ipratropium lead to a greater reduction in dyspnea related to activities of daily living vs placebo or salmeterol • The incidence of total lower respiratory tract adverse events (exacerbations) was different for salmeterol vs ipratropium, but both lead to fewer exacerbations vs placebo

  26. Long-Acting Anticholinergic - Tiotropium Change in FEV1: Six Month Study Tiotropium (n = 202) Day 169 Placebo (n = 179) 1.35 1.30 1.25 1.20 1.15 FEV1 (L) 1.10 1.05 1.00 0.95 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Time after administration (h) P < 0.001 for tiotropium vs placebo (DonohueJF, Chest 2002;122:47-55 )

  27. Change in FEV1: Tiotropium vs Salmeterol vs Placebo Tiotropium (n = 202) Salmeterol (n = 203) Day 169 Placebo (n = 179) 1.35 1.30 1.25 1.20 1.15 FEV1 (L) 1.10 1.05 1.00 0.95 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Time after administration (h) P < 0.001 for tiotropium vs placebo P < 0.05 for tiotropium vs salmeterol (DonohueJF, Chest 2002;122:47-55 )

  28. Change in FEV1: Tiotropium vs Salmeterol vs Placebo Day 1 Tiotropium (n = 202) Salmeterol (n = 203) Day 169 Placebo (n = 179) 1.35 1.30 1.25 1.20 1.15 FEV1 (L) 1.10 1.05 1.00 0.95 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Time after administration (h) P < 0.001 for tiotropium vs placebo on all test days post-treatment P < 0.05 for tiotropium vs salmeterol on all test days except day 1 (DonohueJF, Chest 2002;122:47-55 )

  31. Bronchodilating Effects of Combined Therapy With Clinical Dosages of Ipratropium Bromide and Salbutamol for Stable COPD: Comparison With Ipratropium Bromide Alone Akihiko Ikeda, MD, Koicht Nishimura

  32. 50 80 mcg ipratropium + 400 mcg salbutamol 40 mcg ipratropium + 200 mcg salbutamol 40 80 mcg ipratropium 40 mcg ipratropium 30 Placebo FEV1 (% change) 20 10 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Time After Test Dose (h) IPRATROPIUM BROMIDE AND SALBUTAMOL Ikeda A, et al. Chest. 1996;109:294.

  33. Ipratropium and Albuterol per MDIis More Effective than Either Agent Alone

  34. COMBINATION METERED DOSE INHALER(Ipratropium Bromide plus Albuterol Sulfate) Effective bronchodilation via two distinct mechanisms. Useful in the subset of patients who require both classes of agents to achieve maximal bronchodilation without potentiation of side effects over either single component alone. Useful in noncompliant (non-adherent) patients- can improve adherence and patient satisfaction- by decreasing their time, effort, and the number of puffs required to administer two efficacious drugs. Cost effective if restricted to these subsets of patients, and if the combination inhaler is properly priced.

  35. COMBINATION THERAPY IN COPD Combination of ipratropium and long-acting beta-agonists have been shown to lead to significantly greater bronchodilation than that observed in response to either agent alone Ipratropium + Salmeterol (Van Noord, Eur Resp J 2000;15:878-885) Ipratropium + Formoterol (D’Urzo, Chest 2001;119:1347-1356) A new generation anticholinergic agent, tiotropium bromide, which is more selective, more potent, and has a longer duration of action compared to ipratropium bromide is currently in development (Litner, Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2000;161:1136-1142)

  37. OBJECTIVES FOR INTERVENTIONS IN THE CHRONIC MANAGEMENT OF COPD • Improvement in Lung Function • Relieve Symptoms • Decrease Exacerbations • Decrease Hospitalizations • Improve Quality of Life (Healthcare Status) • Decelerate Decline in Lung Function • Increase Life Expectancy • Achieve Objectives in a Cost-Effective Manner

  38. COPD EXACERBATION - DEFINITION • Acute Worsening of Respiratory Symptoms (72hr) • Increased Dyspnea • Increased Quantity of Sputum • Increased Purulence of Sputum Anthonisen NR 1987 Ann Int Med 106:196-204

  39. FREQUENCY OF EXACERBATIONS 20 % of Patients With Exacerbations 10 0 Albuterol Ipratropium Ipratropium + Albuterol Friedman M, et al. Chest. 1999;115:635-641.

  41. PHARMACOLOGIC ARMAMENTARIUM • Anticholinergics (Parasympatholytic) • Short-acting inhaled (Ipratropium) • Long-acting (Tiotropium) • Beta Agonists (Sympathomimetic) • Short-acting inhaled (numerous available) • Long-acting inhaled (Salmeterol, Fomoterol) • Methylxanthines (Sympathomimetic) • Anti-Inflammatory • Oral Steroids • Inhaled Steroids • Other anti-inflammatory agents (data pending)

  44. PHARMACOLOGIC ARMAMENTARIUM • Anticholinergics (Parasympatholytic) • Short-acting inhaled (Ipratropium) • Long-acting (Tiotropium) • Beta Agonists (Sympathomimetic) • Short-acting inhaled (numerous available) • Long-acting inhaled (Salmeterol, Fomoterol) • Methylxanthines (Sympathomimetic) • Anti-Inflammatory • Oral Steroids • Inhaled Steroids • Other anti-inflammatory agents (data pending)

  45. LUNG INFLAMMATION IN ASTHMA IS DIFFERENT THAN THE LUNG INFLAMMATION IN COPD • The inflammation of asthma is responsive to steroids • Mast cells, eosinophils, TH2-like lymphocytes (CD4) • IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, ECP, LTC4 • The chronic inflammation in COPD is not responsive to steroids • Macrophages, Neutrophils, T-Lymphocytes (CD8) • LTB4, TNF, IL-8, Chemokines

  46. GOLD Guidelines (GOLD Guidelines Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2001;163:1256-1276) • Trial of inhaled corticosteroids (6 wks – 3 mo) given only if patient with moderate to severe COPD (defined by spirometry) continues with significant symptoms and frequent exacerbations (3 - 4 per yr) despite maximal bronchodilation. • If symptoms or the frequency of exacerbations are not improved, steroids should be discontinued.
