This study was performed to see if the addition of GSK233705 to salmeterol would provide greater bronchodilation than salmeterol or tiotropium alone in COPD. Methods: In an incomplete-block, three-period, crossover design, dually responsive patients received three of the following five treatments: GSK233705 20 ¦Ìg plus salmeterol 50 ¦Ìg twice-daily; GSK233705 50 ¦Ìg plus salmeterol 50 ¦Ìg twice-daily; salmeterol 50 ¦Ìg or placebo, each twice-daily; and tiotropium 18 ¦Ìg or placebo once-daily for 7 days. Each treatment period was separated by a 14-day washout. The primary efficacy endpoint was morning (trough) forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) on Day 8, following 7 days of treatment. Secondary endpoints included pulmonary function, plethysmography, pharmacokinetics of GSK233705 and salmeterol, adverse events (AEs), electrocardiograms (ECGs), vital signs, and laboratory parameters. Results: A total of 47 patients were randomized. The mean % predicted normal postbronchodilator FEV1 was 55% at screening. Compared with placebo (n = 24), the adjusted mean change from baseline in trough FEV1 on Day 8 was 215 mL higher with GSK233705 20 ¦Ìg + salmeterol (n = 23) and 203 mL higher with GSK233705 50 ¦Ìg + salmeterol (n = 27), whereas with salmeterol (n = 27) and tiotropium (n = 28) the changes were 101 mL and 118 mL higher, respectively. The primary efficacy results were supported by the results from the other secondary lung function assessments. AEs were reported by similar proportions of patients across the treatment groups, with headache the most frequently reported treatment-related AE reported by one subject receiving each of GSK233705 20 ¦Ìg + salmeterol, tiotropium, and placebo. No significant differences were seen in vital signs, ECGs, or laboratory parameters between the groups. Conclusion: The addition of GSK233705 to salmeterol in partially reversible COPD patients resulted in greater bronchodilation than salmeterol or tiotropium alone and was well tolerated. %K COPD %K bronchodilation %K dual therapy %K LAMA %K LABA %U https://www.dovepress.com/safety-and-efficacy-of-dual-therapy-with-gsk233705-and-salmeterol-vers-peer-reviewed-article-COPD
