Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)/long-acting β2-agonist (LABA) combination is commonly prescribed to treat COPD; we will perform a retrospective analysis on the effect of adding a long-acting muscarinic receptor antagonist (LAMA) to ICS/LABA combination in COPD.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase

    Detailed Description

    According to the current guidelines for the treatment of COPD, it is recommended to use combination therapies with different or complementary mechanisms of action . Data suggest that open triple therapy incorporating LAMA with ICS / LABA combination products administered through different delivery devices may be beneficial for improving pulmonary function in patients with COPD. However, there is little evidence of the effect of triple therapy on pulmonary function and the incidence of exacerbations in COPD patients.

    Arms and Interventions

    Arm Intervention/Treatment
    fluticasone / salmeterol treatment

    The evaluation of pulmonary function in patients with COPD receiving and maintaining a stable combination of fluticasone / salmeterol (Group A)

    fluticasone / salmeterol and extra LAMA
