Introduction:

The ENERGITO® study demonstrated superior lung function with long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) tiotropium + long-acting β2-agonist (LABA) olodaterol (T+O) compared to inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) fluticasone + LABA salmeterol (F+S) in patients with COPD.

Aim:

To investigate if lung-function benefits of T+O compared to F+S were affected by prior ICS, LAMA or LABA treatment in ENERGITO®.

Methods:

In ENERGITO® (1237.11, NCT01969721; Phase IIIb, randomised, double-blind), patients with moderate to severe COPD received once-daily T+O 2.5/5 or 5/5 µg and twice-daily F+S 250/50 or 500/50 µg for 6 weeks. A post hoc analysis evaluated FEV1 AUC0 – 12 and AUC0 – 24 responses in patients with or without LAMA, LABA or ICS therapy at screening.

Results:

229 patients were enrolled and treated: 123 received prior LAMA, 141 LABA, 109 ICS. T+O significantly improved FEV1 AUC0 – 12 and AUC0 – 24 responses in patients with or without prior LAMA, LABA or ICS therapy compared to F+S (Table).

Conclusions:

In ENERGITO®, patients with moderate or severe COPD showed improved lung function with T+O compared to F+S regardless of prior treatment. T+O is a better choice than LABA/ICS to optimise lung function when initiating maintenance treatment.
