2 Roflumilast (Daxas) for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Target group Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) associated with chronic bronchitis in patients at risk of exacerbations maintenance therapy. Technology description Roflumilast (Daxas) is a long-acting selective phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibitor which relieves the underlying symptoms of COPD through an anti-inflammatory effect. It acts by inhibition of synthesis of leukotriene B4 and reactive oxygen species in neutrophils, as well as inhibition of TNF-α release by mononuclear cells. Roflumilast also inhibits T-cell proliferation, cytokine production, and cell infiltration of the lungs. Roflumilast is administered orally at 500µg Innovation and/or advantages Roflumilast offers a novel mechanism of action as a first in class selective PDE4 inhibitor for COPD. In clinical trials of patients with COPD, it has been shown to improve lung function and reduce exacerbations. Developer Nycomed.

3 Clinical need and burden of disease COPD is a condition characterised by airflow obstruction a that is not fully reversible. The airflow obstruction is due to a combination of airway and parenchymal damage, and is usually progressive. COPD is associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lungs to noxious particles or gases, primarily caused by cigarette smoking. Other factors, particularly occupational exposures, may also contribute to its development 1. Significant airflow obstruction may be present before the individual is aware of it. Common symptoms are breathlessness, cough, sputum, wheeze and chest tightness. COPD is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the UK. The number of patients on Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) disease registers with COPD was approximately 800,000 in the period 2007/08 with an unadjusted prevalence of 1.5% of all patients registered with a general practitioner in England 9. In 2006/07 there were 115,598 admissions to hospital with a primary diagnosis of COPD and 195,468 finished consultant episodes (ICD J40-J44; J47). Of the admissions, 105,266 (91%) were emergencies, which represented 0.8% of all emergency medical admissions to hospital. COPD accounted for 920,167 in-patient bed days, which represented almost 2% of all NHS in-patient bed days 10. There were 24,204 registered deaths from COPD in England and Wales in 2006, 90% of these being in the 65 and over age group 11. Existing comparators and treatments The NICE guideline 1 recommends the following treatment and support options for management of patients with stable COPD: Smoking cessation. Inhaled bronchodilator therapy: Short-acting beta 2 agonist, e.g. salbutamol. Short-acting antimuscarinic, e.g. ipratropium. Long-acting beta 2 agonist, e.g. salmeterol. Long-acting antimuscarinic, e.g. tiotropium. Theophylline - slow-release formulation. Corticosteroids: Inhaled corticosteroid, e.g. beclometasone dipropionate not licensed for use alone in COPD. Oral corticosteroid, e.g. prednisolone not recommended. Combination of the above. Efficacy and safety Trial Roflumilast 250µg, 500µg vs placebo; phase III. NCT ; roflumilast vs placebo, phase III.
