  3. Objectives 1. Describe the updated recommendations in the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 2017 Global Strategy for the Diagnosis, Management and Prevention of COPD 2. Compare and contrast therapies for management of COPD based on evidence from recent clinical trials 3. Develop a management plan for COPD using 2017 GOLD guidelines

  4. Pre-Test 1. Which inhaled medication is no longer a preferred agent in the management of COPD? 2. Which inhaled medication(s) is now emphasized/ preferred in all ABCD severity groups? 3. What class of medications was added to step-up therapy for an exacerbation in a group D patient? 4. What are goals of treatment for improving inhaler technique? 5. Based on results from the FLAME study, which combination of inhaled medications lengthened time between exacerbations? 6. What did the results of the WISDOM study show in relation to withdrawing ICS from patients on triple therapy? 7. What population(s) was shown to benefit most from adding roflumilast to maintenance therapy? 8.

  6. Revisions to the GOLD Guidelines Updated the definition of COPD ● Separated GOLD category from COPD severity group ● Added long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) and long-acting ● beta2 agonist (LABA) to mild COPD patients Removed inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) as preferred agents in the group ● C and D Added azithromycin and erythromycin as alternative agents ● Emphasized inhaler technique teaching ● Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD).

  7. Definition of COPD ● Common, preventable , and treatable pulmonary disease ● Persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation due to airway and/or alveolar abnormalities Usually caused by interaction of significant exposure to noxious ● particles gases and specific host factors Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD).

  8. Question 1: Which of the following GOLD grades and severity groups are appropriate for a 65- year old with COPD Assessment Test (CAT) score of 28 today, not COPD exacerbations in the past year and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) of 29% of the predicted value 1 month ago? A. GOLD grade 4, group B B. GOLD grade 4, group D C. GOLD grade 1, group A D. GOLD grade 1, group C

  12. COPD Assessment based on GOLD 2017 1. Use Spirometry to diagnose COPD and assess airflow limitation (GOLD grade) 2. Use CAT or mMRC to assess COPD symptom severity 3. Determine exacerbation risk : a. Number of COPD exacerbations in past 12 months b. Number of COPD-related hospitalizations in the past year

  13. Question 2: Which of the following types of medications are currently recommended for a 45-year old with one COPD-related hospitalization in the past year, a CAT score of 28 and a FEV1 49% and the predicted value with no airway reversibility who is using an albuterol metered-dose inhaler (MDI) 90 mcg 2 puffs 3 - 4 times/ day for COPD symptoms? A. Tiotropium/ Olodaterol B. Budesonide/ Formoterol C. Fluticasone/ Umeclidinium/Vilanterol D. Ipratropium/ Albuterol

  16. Question 3: Which of the following step-up options is recommended for a 75-year old woman with GOLD grade 4, group D COPD currently taking ICS/LABA and a LAMA? She is adherent to her inhalers and is able to use them correctly. She is on 2L of oxygen/ 24 hours. She continues to have a CAT score of 30 and a COPD exacerbation every other month. Despite quitting smoking 1 year ago, she is losing weight and complains of feeling depressed. A. Azithromycin B. Roflumilast C. Theophylline D. Prednisone

  17. Step-up / Alternative Medications 2016 2017 LAMA and/or LABA and/or ICS LAMA and/or LABA combination ● ● combinations LABA + ICS ● SAMA + SABA LAMA + LABA + ICS ● ● Theophylline Step-up: ● ● Roflumilast + LAMA Roflumilast ● ○ Roflumilast + LABA Azithromycin ● ○ ICS + LABA + roflumilast Erythromycin ● ○ Other: ● ICS withdrawal? ○ Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD).

  19. Azithromycin and Erythromycin Decreased exacerbations when used for 6 -12 months ● No significant decrease in hospitalizations or overall mortality ● Increased side-effects ● Unknowns: ● Optimal dosing ○ Duration of therapy (no data past 12 months) ○ Subpopulations with the most benefit ○ Ni W, Shao X, Cai X, et al.
