Abstract
Background Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) has several implications on health, lifestyle, and economic burden. Combinational therapy using muscarinic antagonists and beta-2 agonists has long been warranted for use as maintenance therapy. A lack of studies directly comparing Glycopyrrolate/Formoterol (GFF) versus Tiotropium/Formoterol (TFF) was observed which led us to analyze the effectiveness of these combinations. Methods In this pilot, prospective, randomized, open-label, parallel-arm, 12-week period study, 60 patients with COPD (moderate-severe) were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either GFF or TFF (n = 30 each). The primary outcome was to demonstrate non-inferiority between the two groups concerning FEV1 for 12 weeks. The secondary outcome was the assessment of the ratio of FEV1/FVC and state of health evaluation by St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). Results Out of 60 participants, 58 subjects completed the study. At week 12, the mean and standard deviation value of FEV1 between groups were 1.49 ± 0.38 and 1.38 ± 0.30 (p > 0.05) and FEV1/FVC ratio were 0.67 ± 0.09 and 0.74 ± 0.08 (p < 0.01) respectively. A significant difference was observed in the FEV1 and FEV1/FVC values in comparison with baseline versus last follow up in both the groups (p < 0.01). However, no remarkable variation was identified in the FEV1 values over the two groups. The health status assessment by SGRQ showed significant improvement in both groups after the treatment. Conclusion Non-inferiority of GFF when compared to TFF was established along with good tolerability and comparable adverse effect profile.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Tobacco smoke is the leading cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Smoking cessation can change the natural history of COPD, as we know from the GOLD guidelines. Little is known about the short-term clinical and functional effects of smoking cessation treatment combined with anti-muscarinic bronchodilators. OBJECTIVE To determine whether quitting smoking, obtained by smoking cessation treatment combined with the use of a new long-acting muscarinic antagonist bronchodilator (LAMA), can improve lung function tests and respiratory symptoms more than the use of LAMA alone. METHODS We evaluated, in a retrospective analysis, the functional and clinical data, collected in one year, of 120 patients who were current smokers affected by mild COPD and who quit smoking using smoking cessation treatment combined with glycopirronium. We compared them with a group of 80 patients with mild COPD undergoing the same treatment but who did not quit smoking. All patients underwent functional and clinical tests at baseline and at a third-month check. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The two groups were homogeneous in terms of demographic data without significant differences. All patients used varenicline for smoking cessation. They all performed the following tests: a spirometry with detection of resistances, the 6 min walking test, haemogasanalysis, the exhaled CO test, the COPD assessment test (CAT) and finally the modified Medical Research Council test (mMRC). A significant improvement in the functional tests at the third-month check was found in both groups-quitters and non-quitters. However, a notable increase in the examined parameters was registered in the group of patients who quit smoking, in particular, we observed a significant increase at the third-month check of the parameter forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) of more than 200 ml with p < 0.001. A comparison between quitters and non-quitters revealed a major benefit derived from smoking cessation in terms of functional changes and symptom relief. In particular, not only FEV1 but also forced expiratory flow at 25%-75% of vital capacity (FEF 25-75) (p < 0.01) and CAT (p < 0.001) were found to be significantly improved in patients who quit than in patients who did not at the check time point. CONCLUSIONS Smoking cessation treatment obtained by varenicline was confirmed as a crucial therapeutic option, especially when combined with bronchodilator in mild COPD. Patients who quit smoking could already benefit from both treatments in the short term, improving lung function and respiratory symptoms and therefore improving their quality of life.
