4 The incidence of pneumonia was 3.2% in the indacaterol-glycopyrronium group and 4.8% in the salmeterol-fluticasone group (P=0.02).

5 Blood eosinophilia and response to ICS in COPD Pascoe S. et al,

7 Why are illustrative cases important? In real-life settings, more than 80% of COPD subjects are currently treated by protocols based on results of RCTs for which they would not have been eligible. COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; FEV 1 = forced expiratory volume in 1 second; RCT = randomized controlled trial Scichilone N, et al. Respiration 2014;87:11 7

8 Giacomo 55-year-old male Giacomo Former smoker (quit aged 50, smoking history 35 pack years) Diagnosed with COPD 3 years ago Complaint of progressively worsening dyspnea (mmrc 3) No history of exacerbation in the previous year Past medical history uneventful, with the exception of COPD (maintenance treatment with ICS/LABA FDC as suggested by his GP) Physical examination unremarkable, aside from diminished breath sounds on both lungs GP = General Practitioner; ICS = inhaled corticosteroid; LABA = long-acting β 2 -agonist; mmrc = modified Medical Research Council Picture for illustrative purposes only.

9 Giacomo Spirometry Forced vital capacity Meas. Normal Pred % Pred z score Flow (L/s) FET = forced expiratory time; FVC = forced vital capacity; MEF = middle of expiratory flow; PEF = peak expiratory flow; pred = predicted; VEXT = extrapolated volume

10 How common is Giacomo? From 2016 to 2017 GOLD classification 60 70% CAT = COPD Assessment Test; ECOPD = exacerbations of COPD; GOLD = Global initiative for chronic Obstructive Lung Disease; mmrc = modified Medical Research Council; SGRQ = St George s Respiratory Questionnaire Agusti A, et al. Eur Respir J 2013;42:

11 Patients (%) 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% How far is real life from COPD therapy guidelines? An Italian observational study Mild Moderate Severe Very severe Stage I Stage II Stage III Stage IV O Without exacerbation LAMA LABA ICS FDC LAMA + ICS LAMA + FDC LABA + ICS ICS + LABDs Other U C O U C O U C O U C (%) Severity of COPD determined by degree of airflow limitation (Stage I mild COPD (FEV 1 80% pred); Stage II moderate COPD (50% FEV 1 <80% pred); Stage III severe COPD (30% FEV 1 <50% pred); Stage IV very severe COPD (FEV 1 <30% pred. or FEV 1 <50% pred. with PaO2 <60 mmhg)) C = correct prescription; FDC = fixed dose combination; LAMA = long-acting antimuscarinic agents; O = over-prescription; U = under-prescription Corrado A, Rossi A. Respir Med 2012;106:989 97

12 Giacomo Do we need more information to decide the inhalation treatment for Giacomo? A. No more information needed B. CAT score C. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing D. Second-line pulmonary function tests and high-resolution computed tomography E. Blood eosinophils Giacomo FEV 1 % pred 48% mmrc 3 No exacerbations ICS/LABA treatment

13 Giacomo COPD Assessment Test (CAT) score Example: I am very happy I am very sad I never cough I cough all the time 2 I have no phlegm (mucus) in my chest at all My chest is completely full of phlegm (mucus) 2 My chest does not feel tight at all My chest feels very tight 3 When I walk up a hill or one flight of stairs I am not brethless I am not limited doing any activities at home I am confident leaving my home despite my lung condition I sleep soundly x x x x x xx x x When I walk up a hill or one flight of stairs I am very brethless 4 I am very limited doing activities at home 4 I am not at all confident leaving my home because of my lung condition 3 I don t sleep soundly because of my lung condition 3 I have lots of energy I have no of energy at all 4 SCORE COPD Assessment Test and the CAT logo are trademarks of the GlaxoSmithKline group of companies GlaxoSmithKline.

14 Characterisation of COPD heterogeneity in the ECLIPSE cohort Giacomo Augusti A, et al. Respir Res 2010;11:122

15 Giacomo Cardiopulmonary exercise testing SBP (mmhg): DBP (mmhg): bpm = beats per minute; BTPS = body temperature (37 C), ambient pressure and gas saturated with water vapor; DBP = diastolic blood pressure; SBP = systolic blood pressure

16 Giacomo Second-line pulmonary function tests Body plethysmography Meas. Normal Pred % Pred z score Flow (L/s) Lung volumes ERV = expiratory reserve volume; FRC = functional residual capacity; Gaw = airway conductance; Raw = airway resistance; RV = residual volume; TLC = total lung capacity

17 Giacomo Second-line pulmonary function tests DLCO DLCO DLCO corr ml/min/mmhg ml/min/mmhg Meas. Normal Pred %Pred Z score 19,16 16,53 30,42 23, ,16 16,53 30,42 23, Time of apnea (Jones and Meade) Residual volume Sampling volume DLCO/VA VA TLC (DLCO) Hb ml/min/mmhg/l L L g/dl 3,45 5,56 6,79 14,6 2,36 5,12 5,12 7,42 5,27 7, ,74 6,27 6, % Best VC Time (s) DLCO = diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide; Hb = haemoglobin VA, alveolar ventilation; VC = vital capacity

18 Giacomo High-resolution computed tomography

19 Suggested benefit risk ratio of ICS in COPD according to blood eosinophilia Giacomo s blood eosinophils: 0.7% 100/μL Brusselle G, et al. Lancet Respir Med 2015;3:416 7

20 Giacomo Do we need to modify the therapy? If yes, how? A. Continue ICS/LABA B. Withdraw ICS C. Switch to LABA/LAMA FDC D. Add a LAMA (triple therapy) Giacomo FEV 1 % pred 48% mmrc 3 No exacerbations ICS/LABA treatment Eosinophils 100/μL

21 The 2017 GOLD «approach» Giacomo, treated with ICS/LABA, does not exist! Group B LAMA + LABA Persistent symptoms A long-acting bronchodilator (LABA or LAMA) GOLD Available from:

22 Giacomo Summary Dyspnea is a complex symptom In the case of severe dyspnea in a Group B patient, the use of dual bronchodilation is suggested In the case of persistent dyspnea on LABA/LAMA: what next?
