Inhalative Therapie der COPD – alle Patienten auf „fixed triple“?
Inhaled therapies in COPD – all patients on fixed triple?

Was ist neu?
Neue Studien mit „fixed triple“ Die 3 großen randomisierten, doppelblinden Phase-III-Studien TRIBUTE, IMPACT und ETHOS untersuchten den Stellenwert der 3-Fach-Fixkombination aus langwirksamen Beta-2-Sympathomimetika, langwirksamen Muskarinantagonisten und inhalativen Kortikosteroiden (LABA, LAMA, ICS) gegenüber den 2-Fachkombinationen (ICS/LABA oder LABA/LAMA). Die 3 Studien rekrutierten Patienten, bei denen Exazerbationen in den letzten 12 Monaten vor Studieneinschluss aufgetreten waren.
Abstract
Inhaled maintenance therapies in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are based on bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). Inhaled bronchodilator therapies consist of long-acting beta-2 agonists (LABA) and long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA). LABA or LAMA treatment is recommended in symptomatic COPD patients. In case of a history of exacerbations LAMA is superior to LABA in the prevention of exacerbations. LABA LAMA combination therapies are used in patients who are highly symptomatic. Adding ICS to bronchodilator treatment is recommended in COPD patients with repeated exacerbations. Recently, fixed triple therapies consisting of LABA, LAMA and ICS in single inhalers became available.
