Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyse the effect of breathing parameters, age, gender and disease status on the lung doses of the two ICS + LABA fixed combination dry powder drugs. Breathing parameters of 113 COPD patients were measured while inhaling through emptied NEXThaler® and Ellipta® inhalers and the corresponding lung doses were calculated. Lung dose of Foster® NEXThaler® was superior to the lung dose of Relvar® Ellipta® in around 85 % of the patients. The average value of the ratio of bronchiolar to bronchial deposition fractions was 5.0 for Foster® NEXThaler® and 2.6 for Relvar® Ellipta®. Lung dose was sensitive to the inhalation parameters, such as peak inhalation flow, inhaled volume and breath-hold time. For both studied drugs the dose to the lungs was relatively high for moderate PIF values, but it declined for low (<35 L/min) and high (>95 L/min) PIFs. The lung dose increased by the increase of the inhaled volume, but saturated over 1.0 L of inhaled air. Longer breath-hold time led to higher lung deposition, but the dependence was drug-specific. FEV1 (%) and FEV1/FVC (%) did not influence the lung dose significantly (p = 0.05). Exacerbating patients had lower lung doses (28.8 ± 5.8 % for Foster® NEXThaler® and 23.7 ± 3.8 % for Relvar® Ellipta®) than their non-exacerbating counterparts (33.7 ± 6.1 % for Foster® NEXThaler® and for 24.9 ± 3.9 % for Relvar® Ellipta®). The exact clinical consequences of the differences between the deposition distributions of the two drugs could be assessed only by systematic clinical trials.
期刊介绍:
Respiratory Medicine is an internationally-renowned journal devoted to the rapid publication of clinically-relevant respiratory medicine research. It combines cutting-edge original research with state-of-the-art reviews dealing with all aspects of respiratory diseases and therapeutic interventions. Topics include adult and paediatric medicine, epidemiology, immunology and cell biology, physiology, occupational disorders, and the role of allergens and pollutants.
Respiratory Medicine is increasingly the journal of choice for publication of phased trial work, commenting on effectiveness, dosage and methods of action.
