Abstract

Background: The optimal use of various therapeutic combinations for moderate/severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is unclear. The GLISTEN trial compared the efficacy of two long-acting anti-muscarinic antagonists (LAMA), when combined with an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) and a long-acting β2 agonist (LABA). Methods: This randomised, blinded, placebo-controlled trial in moderate/severe COPD patients compared once-daily glycopyrronium (GLY) 50 μg, once-daily tiotropium (TIO) 18 μg or placebo (PLA), when combined with salmeterol/fluticasone propionate (SAL/FP) 50/500 μg twice daily. The primary objective was to determine the non-inferiority of GLY+SAL/FP versus TIO+SAL/FP on trough FEV₁ after 12 weeks. An important secondary objective was whether addition of GLY to SAL/FP was better than SAL/FP alone. Results: 773 patients (mean FEV₁ 57.2% predicted) were randomised; 84.9% completed the trial. At week 12, GLY+SAL/FP demonstrated non-inferiority to TIO +SAL/FP for trough FEV₁: least square mean treatment difference (LSMdiff) -7 mL (SE 17.4) with a lower limit for non-inferiority of -60 mL. There was significant increase in week 12 trough FEV₁ with GLY+SAL/FP versus PLA+SAL/FP (LSMdiff 101 mL, p<0.001). At 12 weeks, GLY+SAL/FP produced significant improvement in St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire total score versus PLA +SAL/FP (LSMdiff -2.154, p=0.02). GLY+SAL/FP demonstrated significant rescue medication reduction versus PLA+SAL/FP (LSMdiff -0.72 puffs/day, p<0.001). Serious adverse events were similar for GLY+SAL/FP, TIO +SAL/FP and PLA+SAL/FP with an incidence of 5.8%, 8.5% and 5.8%, respectively. Conclusions: GLY+SAL/FP showed comparable improvements in lung function, health status and rescue medication to TIO+SAL/FP. Importantly, addition of GLY to SAL/FP demonstrated significant improvements in lung function, health status and rescue medication compared to SAL/FP.
