3 COPD EXACERBATION GOLD 2011 An exacerbation of COPD is an acute event characterized by a worsening of the patient s respiratory symptoms that is beyond normal day-to-day variations and leads to a change in medication

4 OUTCOME OF COPD EXACERBATIONS In ICU patients Hospital mortality 20%-24% (1 year) In hospitalized patients Hospital mortality 2.5%-10% (5 days) In ER patients Relapse (repeat ER visit) 22%-32% (14 days) In outpatients Treatment failure rate 13%-33% (14 days) Seneff et al. JAMA. 1995; 274: ; Murata et al. Ann Emerg Med. 1991;20: ; Adams et al. Chest. 2000; 117: ; Patil et al. Arch Int Med. 2003; 163:

5 LUNG FUNCTION IMPAIRMENT, COPD HOSPITALISATIONS AND SUBSEQUENT MORTALITY COPD severity was associated with a higher rate of severe exacerbations requiring hospitalisation, although severe exacerbations at any stage were associated with a higher risk of short-term and longterm all-cause mortality Garcia-Aymeric et al, Thorax 2011;66:585e590.

6 COPD exacerbations COPD Chronic disease progressive nature lung function symptoms comorbidities Tashkin D. N Engl J Med 2010; 363: 1184 Hurst et al, N Engl J Med 2010; 363: Exacerbations typically 1-3 per year frequency proportional to COPD severity the frequent exacerbator chronic decline resulting in poorer prognosis HRQL hospitalizations mortality

7 CAUSES OF EXACERBATION OF RESPIRATORY SYMPTOMS IN CHRONIC PATIENTS PNEUMONIA THROMBOEMBOLISM ACUTE HEART FAILURE METABOLIC ACIDOSIS ANEMIA

8 BIOCHEMICAL MARKERS OF CARDIAC DYSFUNCTION PREDICT MORTALITY IN ACUTE EXACERBATIONS OF COPD Elevated levels of NT-proBNP and troponin T are strong predictors of early mortality among patients admitted to hospital with acute exacerbations of COPD independently of other known prognostic indicators The pathophysiological basis for this is unknown, but indicates that cardiac involvement in exacerbations of COPD may be an important determinant of prognosis Chang CL et al, Thorax, available on line 9 june 2011

9 TARGETING THE LUNG ATTACKS Current management strategies for acute asthma and ECOPD within and subsequent to discharge from hospital are suboptimal We suggest that the term lung attack may resonate more with patients and the broader community FitzGerald JM, Thorax, available on line 9 june 2011

Consider surgical treatments Add ROFLUMILAST

18 CHRONIC AZITHROMYCIN DECREASES THE FREQUENCY OF CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE EXACERBATIONS When added to usual treatment, azithromycin, 250 mg taken daily for one year decreases COPD exacerbations and improves quality of life but also causes hearing decrements in a small fraction of subjects Alpert RK et al, New Engl J Med 2011; 365:

19 THE EFFECT OF TELITHROMYCIN IN ACUTE EXACERBATIONS OF ASTHMA This study provides evidence of the benefit of telithromycin in patients with acute exacerbations of asthma; the mechanisms of benefit remain unclear Johnston SL et al, NEJM 2006;354(15):

Majid A et al, Chest 2008; 134:

30 TIOTROPIUM IMPROVES LUNG FUNCTION IN PATIENTS WITH SEVERE ASTHMA: a randomised controlled trial The addition of once-daily tiotropium to asthma treatment including high dose ICS plus LABA, provides significant improvements in lungfunction over 24 hours in patients with inadequately controlled, severe, persistent asthma Long-term studies are needed to assess patient reported outcomes and exacerbation rates. Kerstjens HAM et al, JACI, August 2011

32 EFFECTIVENESS AND SAFETY OF BRONCHIAL THERMOPLASTY IN THE TREATMENT OF SEVERE ASTHMA This study demonstrates that BT provides clinically meaningful improvements in severe exacerbations requiring corticosteroids, ED visits, and time lost from work/school during the post-treatment period in patients with severe and inadequately controlled asthma, together with improvements in quality of life. We conclude that the increased risk of adverse events in the short-term after BT is outweighed by the benefit of BT that persists for at least 1 year. BT offers clinicians a novel, procedure-based, add-on therapy beyond the current use of high-dose ICS and LABA to decrease the morbidity of severe asthma. Castro M et al. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2010;181:

41 Outcomes (measured every 6 months) Post-bronchodilator FEV 1 (primary outcome) Diffusing capacity CT densitometry (15% percentile) measured yearly 6-MWD SGRQ TDI

42 TESRA Patient Disposition 492 randomized patients 2 patients not treated (0.4%) 490 patients 1 patient (no efficacy FUP) ITT pop Placebo 160 patients Palovarotene 329 patients 1 patient received palovarotene for 28 days Safety pop Placebo 159 patients Palovarotene 5 mg 329 patients 29 % withdrawals 15 % due to safety 14 % non-safety Dose reduction 3 (2 %) permanent dose reduction Dose reduction 28 (9%) permanent dose reduction 32 % withdrawals 22 % due to safety 10 % non-safety Completers Placebo 114 patients (71 %) Palovarotene 225 patients (68 %)

43 Summary Palvoratene appears to have low toxicity In placebo treated patients, 2 regions of interest in the lower lung (lower half and lowest quartile) showed faster disease progression across most measures ITT analysis in whole lung Palvarotene efficacy did not differ from placebo Post hoc analysis in the lower lung Palvarotene was associated with less worsening over time in most outcomes These observations require confirmation using more detailed analysis of emphysema progression in different parts of the lung If confirmed, the observations from this hypothesis-generating study require testing in patients with lower lung emphysema

63 REDUCTION OF MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY BY STATINS, ACE INHIBITORS, AND ARBS IN PATIENTS WITH COPD These agents may have dual cardiopulmonary protective properties, thereby substantially altering prognosis of patients with COPD. These findings need confirmation in randomized clinical trials. Mancini JB et al. J Am Coll Cardiol 2006;47(12):
