Comparison of tiotropium once daily, formoterol twice daily and both combined once daily in patients with COPD
J.a. Van Noord,Joseph-Leon Aumann,E. Janssens,J.J. Smeets,J. Verhaert,Bernd Disse,Achim Mueller,P.J.G. Cornelissen +7 more
TL;DR: In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients, tiotropium q.i.d. achieved a greater improvement in daytime and comparable improvement in night-time lung function compared with formoterol b.d or both combined, and provided an additive effect throughout the 24-h dosing interval.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Tiotropium With and Without Formoterol on Airflow Obstruction and Resting Hyperinflation in Patients With COPD
Jan A. van Noord,Joseph L. Aumann,E. Janssens,Jan Verhaert,J.J. Smeets,Achim Mueller,P.J.G. Cornelissen +6 more
TL;DR: In the treatment of COPD, there is benefit from adding formoterol once or twice daily to tiotropium once daily in terms of improvement in airflow obstruction, resting hyperinflation, and the use of rescue salbutamol.
Journal ArticleDOI
The efficacy of tiotropium administered via Respimat® Soft Mist™ Inhaler or HandiHaler® in COPD patients
TL;DR: The Respimat ® Soft Mist™ Inhaler (SMI), a novel, propellant-free inhaler, has been developed and proposed as an alternative delivery device for use with tiotropium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combining tiotropium and salmeterol in COPD: Effects on airflow obstruction and symptoms
J.A. van Noord,Joseph-Leon Aumann,E. Janssens,J.J. Smeets,Johan Zaagsma,Achim Mueller,P.J.G. Cornelissen +6 more
TL;DR: Compared to single-agent therapy, combination therapy of tiotropium plus salmeterol in COPD provided clinically meaningful improvements in airflow obstruction and dyspnea as well as a reduction in reliever medication.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of a single exacerbation on decline in lung function in COPD
David M.G. Halpin,Marc Decramer,Bartolome R. Celli,Achim Mueller,Norbert Metzdorf,Donald P. Tashkin +5 more
TL;DR: A single COPD exacerbation may result in significant increase in the rate of decline in lung function, which is significantly higher than for non-exacerbators in the second half of the study.
