Abstract

Introduction: The safety and tolerability of nintedanib in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) have been characterized using data from clinical trials. Methods: We further characterized the safety and tolerability of nintedanib in patients with IPF in clinical practice using the global pharmacovigilance database. The database included spontaneously reported adverse events and data collected via solicited reporting in patients treated with nintedanib from 15 October 2014 to 15 October 2018. Adverse events were coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities. Cumulative exposure to nintedanib was estimated on the basis of sales data. Results: Cumulative exposure to nintedanib was estimated as 60,107 patient-years. Diarrhea was the most frequent event (301.6 events per 1000 patient-years). Most (97.0%) diarrhea events were non-serious. The median (25th, 75th percentile) time to onset of the first diarrhea event was 60 (11, 182) days. Elevated liver enzyme or bilirubin levels were reported at a rate of 31.5 events per 1000 patient-years. Bleeding was reported at a rate of 36.8 events per 1000 patient-years; 81.0% of events were non-serious. Major cardiovascular adverse events were reported at a rate of 13.4 events per 1000 patient-years and myocardial infarction at a rate of 4.3 events per 1000 patient-years. Gastrointestinal perforation was reported at a rate of 1.0 event per 1000 patient-years. Conclusions: On the basis of pharmacovigilance data collected over 4 years, the safety profile of nintedanib in patients with IPF was consistent with that observed in clinical trials and described in the product label, with no new safety concerns observed.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: The efficacy and safety of benralizumab, an interleukin-5 receptor alpha-directed cytolytic monoclonal antibody, for the prevention of exacerbations in patients with moderate to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are not known.METHODS: In the GALATHEA and TERRANOVA trials, we enrolled patients with COPD (at a ratio of approximately 2:1 on the basis of eosinophil count [≥220 per cubic millimeter vs. RESULTS: In GALATHEA, the estimates of the annualized exacerbation rate were 1.19 per year (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.04 to 1.36) in the 30-mg benralizumab group, 1.03 per year (95% CI, 0.90 to 1.19) in the 100-mg benralizumab group, and 1.24 per year (95% CI, 1.08 to 1.42) in the placebo group; the rate ratio as compared with placebo was 0.96 for 30 mg of benralizumab (P = 0.65) and 0.83 for 100 mg of benralizumab (P = 0.05). In TERRANOVA, the estimates of the annualized exacerbation rate for 10 mg, 30 mg, and 100 mg of benralizumab and for placebo were 0.99 per year (95% CI, 0.87 to 1.13), 1.21 per year (95% CI, 1.08 to 1.37), 1.09 per year (95% CI, 0.96 to 1.23), and 1.17 per year (95% CI, 1.04 to 1.32), respectively; the corresponding rate ratios were 0.85 (P = 0.06), 1.04 (P = 0.66), and 0.93 (P = 0.40). At 56 weeks, none of the annualized COPD exacerbation rate ratios for any dose of benralizumab as compared with placebo reached significance in either trial. Types and frequencies of adverse events were similar with benralizumab and placebo.CONCLUSIONS: Add-on benralizumab was not associated with a lower annualized rate of COPD exacerbations than placebo among patients with moderate to very severe COPD, a history of frequent moderate or severe exacerbations, and blood eosinophil counts of 220 per cubic millimeter or greater (Funded by AstraZeneca [GALATHEA and TERRANOVA] and Kyowa Hakko Kirin [GALATHEA]; GALATHEA and TERRANOVA ClinicalTrials.gov numbers, NCT02138916 and NCT02155660.).

Abstract

Background Prolonged pulmonary air leaks are a significant source of frustration for patients and physicians. When conventional therapy fails, an alternative to prolonged chest tube drainage or surgery is needed. Bronchoscopic blockage of a bronchus can be performed with the hope of accelerating closure of the air leak by reducing the flow of air through the leak. To our knowledge, this article presents the largest series of patients with prolonged air leaks treated with an endobronchial valve. Methods With Internal Review Board approval, endobronchial valves were compassionately placed using flexible bronchoscopy in patients with prolonged air leaks at 17 international sites. Results Between December 2002 and January 2007, 40 patients (15 women; mean age +/- SD, 60 +/- 14 years) were treated with one to nine endobronchial valves per patient. The air leaks had recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax (n = 21), postoperative (n = 7), iatrogenic (n = 6), first-time spontaneous pneumothorax (n = 4), bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (n = 1), and trauma (n = 1) etiologies. Nineteen patients (47.5%) had a complete resolution of the air leak, 18 (45%) had a reduction, 2 had no change, and 1 had no reported outcome. The mean time from valve insertion to chest tube removal was 21 days (median, 7.5 days; interquartile range [IQR], 3 to 29 days) and from valve procedure to hospital discharge was 19 +/- 28 days (median, 11 days; IQR, 4 to 27 days). Conclusions Use of endobronchial valves is an effective, nonsurgical, minimally invasive intervention for patients with prolonged pulmonary air leaks.

Abstract

We examined the effect of alemtuzumab and basiliximab induction therapy on patient survival and freedom from bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) in double lung transplantation. The United Network for Organ Sharing database was reviewed for adult double lung transplant recipients from 2006 to 2013. The primary outcome was risk‐adjusted all‐cause mortality. Secondary outcomes included time to BOS. There were 6117 patients were identified, of whom 738 received alemtuzumab, 2804 received basiliximab, and 2575 received no induction. Alemtuzumab recipients had higher lung allocation scores compared with basiliximab and no‐induction recipients (41.4 versus 37.9 versus 40.7, p < 0.001) and were more likely to require mechanical ventilation before to transplantation (21.7% versus 6.5% versus 6.2%, p < 0.001). Median survival was longer for alemtuzumab and basiliximab recipients compared with patients who received no induction (2321 versus 2352 versus 1967 days, p = 0.001). Alemtuzumab (hazard ratio 0.80, 95% confidence interval 0.67–0.95, p = 0.009) and basiliximab induction (0.88, 0.80–0.98, p = 0.015) were independently associated with survival on multivariate analysis. At 5 years, alemtuzumab recipients had a lower incidence of BOS(22.7% versus 55.4 versus 55.9%), and its use was independently associated with lower risk of developing BOSon multivariate analysis. While both induction therapies were associated with improved survival, patients who received alemtuzumab had greater median freedom from BOS. While the use of either alemtuzumab or basiliximab induction confer a survival benefit over no induction therapy, the use of alemtuzumab prolongs time to bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome in double lung transplant recipients.

Abstract

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD) is characterized by an abnormal regulatory T cell ( Treg) response and increases in T helper type 1 ( Th1) and Th17 cell responses. It is unclear if dysregulation of micro RNAs (mi RNA) within Treg cells contributes to the abnormal inflammatory response in COPD. In this study, we aimed to compare the mi RNA profile of COPD Treg cells with that of healthy controls and to explore the function of differentially expressed mi RNAs. We first obtained Treg and T effector cells (Teff) from peripheral blood of non-smokers, unaffected current smokers and COPD current smokers. Then, we assessed their mi RNA expression by microarray analysis followed by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction ( RT- PCR) validation of particular mi RNAs. Six and 96 mi RNAs were expressed differentially in COPD Treg cells versus Treg cells of healthy non-smokers and healthy smokers, whereas no differences were found in mi RNA expression in Teff cells. We found that mi R-199a-5p was repressed by approximately fourfold in Treg cells of COPD patients compared to healthy smokers ( P < 0·05). In addition, mi R-199a-5p was over-expressed in Treg cells compared to Teff cells ( P < 0·001) and had significant over-representation of its target genes in the Treg transcriptome, being associated with the transforming growth factor ( TGF)-β activation pathway ( P < 0·01). We also confirmed the function of mi R-199a5p in an in-vitro loss-of-function cell model running TaqMan® arrays of the human TGF-β pathway. These findings suggest that the abnormal repression of mi R-199a-5p in patients with COPD compared to unaffected smokers may be involved in modulating the adaptive immune balance in favour of a Th1 and Th17 response.

Abstract

Study Objectives: To evaluate correlations between improvement in quality of life (QOL) in patients with severe COPD before and after they undergo lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) with changes in pulmonary function tests, gas exchange, exercise performance, and alterations in medical management.Design: Case-series analysis.Setting: University hospital.Patients: Forty-two patients (mean [+/- SD] age, 56+/-8 years; 53% women) with severe airflow obstruction (FEV(1), 0.62+/-0.2 L), and moderate to severe hyperinflation (total lung capacity [TLC], 6.9+/-1.7 L).Intervention and Measurements: All patients underwent bilateral LVRS via median sternotomy. Measurements of lung function, symptom-limited cardiopulmonary exercise testing, the total distance the patient was able to walk in 6 min in a corridor, and sickness impact profile (SIP) scores were made before and 3 months after LVRS. SIP scores are inversely proportional to the level of function and QOL.Results: Compared to baseline, FEV(1) increased (0.87+/-0.3 vs. 0.62+/-0.2 L, respectively; p<0.01) while residual volume significantly decreased (3.2+/-1.8 vs. 6.3+/-1.2 L, respectively; p<0.004) at 3 months post-LVRS. On cardiopulmonary exercise testing, values increased from baseline to post-LVRS for total exercise time (9.0+/-2.2 vs. 6.0+/-1.5 min, respectively; p = 0.045), maximum oxygen uptake (VO(2)) (16+/-3 vs. 11+/-2 mL/kg/min, respectively; p = 0.01), and maximum minute ventilation (VE) (33+/-9 vs. 28+/-5 L/min, respectively; p = 0.03). The percentage change in the oxygen cost of breathing (VO2/VE ratio) from low to high workloads during exercise was significantly lower after LVRS (p = 0.002). There was no significant change in oxygenation after LVRS (PaO(2)/fraction of inspired oxygen, 331+/-27 vs. 337+/-39, respectively; p = 0.76), but PaCO(2) tended to be lower (41+/-9 vs. 48+/-6 mm Hg, respectively; p = 0.07). Overall SIP scores were significantly lower after LVRS than before (8+/-4 vs. 15+/-2, respectively; p = 0.002). Changes in SIP scores correlated with the change in VO2/VE ratio from low to high workloads, with patients having the smallest changes in VO2/VE ratio having the smallest changes in SIP scores after LVRS (r = 0.6; p = 0.01). Improved or lower SIP scores also tended to correlate with a reduction in residual volume/TLC ratio (r = 0.45; p = 0.09), and there was a linear correlation with a statistically significant Pearson r value with decreased steroid requirements (r = 0.7; p = 0.001). Moreover, changes in psychological SIP subscore tended to correlate with diminished oxygen requirements post-LVRS (r = 0.45; p = 0.09). However, there was no significant correlation between changes in SIP scores and routine measurements of lung function, exercise performance, or gas exchange.Conclusion: There is an association between an improvement in QOL and reduced hyperinflation after LVRS. Reduced hyperinflation may lead to more efficient work of breathing during exercise and, therefore, to an increased ability to perform daily activities. Changes in QOL scores correlate best with behaviorally based variables that directly affect the patient's well-being, such as systemic steroid administration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Study Objectives: We sought to investigate the effect of lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) on regional lung ventilation.Design: Retrospective analysis of routinely acquired data before and after LVRS.Setting: Large, urban, university medical center.Patients: Twenty-nine patients with severe emphysema.Intervention: Bilateral LVRS.Measurements and Results: (133)Xe washout curves during lung scintigraphy exhibit a biphasic pattern (the first component of the washout curve [m(r)] corresponds to an initial rapid phase in washout that reflects larger airways emptying, and the second component [m(s)] reflects a slower phase of washout that is attributed to gas elimination via smaller airways). We analyzed six standardized regions of the lung (upper, mid, and lower zones of the right and left lung), and calculated m(r) and m(s) for each lung region. The mean (+/- SE) baseline FEV(1) was 0.69+/-0.04 L, total lung capacity (TLC) was 139 +/-4% predicted, and the residual volume (RV)/TLC ratio was 65+/-2%. The mean improvement in FEV(1) 3 months post-LVRS was 38%. Post-LVRS, m(r) and m(s) increased in 79 and 74 lung regions, respectively, and there was no relationship with respect to lung regions that had or had not been operated on. The increase in m(s), however, significantly correlated with the increase in FEV(1) (r = 0.66; p<0.0001) and the decrease in RV/TLC (r = -0.67; p<0.0001). An increase in m(s) also correlated with a decrease in PaCO(2) (r = -0.39; p = 0.03), but m(r) showed no relationship with any parameter.Conclusions: Small airways ventilation in lung regions that had and had not been operated on is associated with a greater improvement in lung mechanics following LVRS.
