FULFIL Trial: Once-Daily Triple Therapy for Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

Rationale: Randomized data comparing triple therapy with dual inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)/long-acting β-agonist (LABA) therapy in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are limited.

Objectives: We compared the effects of once-daily triple therapy on lung function and health-related quality of life with twice-daily ICS/LABA therapy in patients with COPD.

Methods: The FULFIL (Lung Function and Quality of Life Assessment in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease with Closed Triple Therapy) trial was a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy study comparing 24 weeks of once-daily triple therapy (fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol 100 μg/62.

A phase III randomised controlled trial of single-dose triple therapy in COPD: the IMPACT protocol.

Patients with symptomatic advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who experience recurrent exacerbations are particularly at risk of poor outcomes and present a significant burden on healthcare systems. The relative merits of treating with different inhaled combination therapies e.g.

Efficacy and safety of the p38 MAPK inhibitor losmapimod for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

Background: The p38 MAPK pathway seems to be involved in pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Losmapimod is a potent and selective inhibitor of p38 MAPK. We assessed the effect of losmapimod on exercise tolerance in patients with COPD.

An oral inhibitor of p38 MAP kinase reduces plasma fibrinogen in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

The aims were to determine the effect of an oral inhibitor of the signaling mediator p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (GW856553, losmapimod) on sputum neutrophils, pulmonary function, and blood biomarkers of inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Three hundred and two individuals with GOLD stage II COPD were randomized to oral losmapimod 7.5 mg twice daily, inhaled salmeterol/fluticasone propionate 50 µg/500 µg combination (SFC), or placebo in a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy study (MKI102428/NCT00642148).
