ABSTRACT
2
Rationale: Bronchodilator therapy represents a potentially valuable therapeutic option to
3
increase exercise tolerance and enhance lung function in mild-to-moderate chronic
4
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
5
Objectives: To determine effects of tiotropium on pulmonary hyperinflation and exercise
6
tolerance in symptomatic Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 1
7
and 2 COPD patients who experienced inspiratory capacity decrease ≥100 mL during
8
incremental and constant work rate treadmill exercise.
9
Methods: 22-week, randomized, double-blind, two-period cross-over study evaluated efficacy
10
of once-daily tiotropium bromide (18 µg) versus placebo in GOLD 1 and 2 COPD patients.
11
Primary endpoint was between-group (tiotropium vs. placebo) difference in inspiratory
12
capacity at isotime (i.e. at the time the shortest test ended) during constant work rate treadmill
13
exercise from baseline to the end of a 6-week treatment period. Key secondary endpoints
14
included differences in exercise duration and exertional dyspnea. Safety was assessed by
15
recording adverse events.
16
Measurements and Main Results: Study population comprised 48 GOLD 1 and 78 GOLD 2
17
patients. Resting inspiratory capacity significantly improved with tiotropium versus placebo
