3 Pulmonary-Allergy Drugs Advisory Committee September 6, 2002 3 Background: COPD Indication Proposed Indication for tiotropium: “treatment of bronchospasm and dyspnea associated with COPD” No drugs approved in the US carry an Indication for the treatment of specific symptoms of COPD, or for the “treatment of COPD” Proposed Indication for tiotropium: “treatment of bronchospasm and dyspnea associated with COPD” No drugs approved in the US carry an Indication for the treatment of specific symptoms of COPD, or for the “treatment of COPD”

4 Pulmonary-Allergy Drugs Advisory Committee September 6, 2002 4 Background: COPD Indication Currently approved drugs : –“treatment of bronchospasm associated with COPD” Distinction: treatment of bronchospasm vs. treatment of the disease FEV 1 –direct measure of bronchospasm –“surrogate” measure of the disease itself (a constellation of physical signs and symptoms, physiologic processes, and histopathologic features) Currently approved drugs : –“treatment of bronchospasm associated with COPD” Distinction: treatment of bronchospasm vs. treatment of the disease FEV 1 –direct measure of bronchospasm –“surrogate” measure of the disease itself (a constellation of physical signs and symptoms, physiologic processes, and histopathologic features)

5 Pulmonary-Allergy Drugs Advisory Committee September 6, 2002 5 Background: COPD Indication Presumed clinical benefit of bronchodilators –approved based on spirometry, but clinically detectable benefit is presumed –“as-needed” use of the bronchodilator albuterol reflects bronchodilator-mediated symptom benefit Presumed clinical benefit of bronchodilators –approved based on spirometry, but clinically detectable benefit is presumed –“as-needed” use of the bronchodilator albuterol reflects bronchodilator-mediated symptom benefit

55 Pulmonary-Allergy Drugs Advisory Committee September 6, 2002 55 SummarySummary PK features of tiotropium are somewhat unique among inhaled bronchodilators –Very large volume of distribution –Very long terminal elimination half-life –Apparent tight tissue binding with slow release back into the circulation PK features of tiotropium are somewhat unique among inhaled bronchodilators –Very large volume of distribution –Very long terminal elimination half-life –Apparent tight tissue binding with slow release back into the circulation

56 Pulmonary-Allergy Drugs Advisory Committee September 6, 2002 56 SummarySummary Safety: –Dry mouth is common, shows an age and gender interaction, and is more frequent than with ipratropium –Several AEs occurred more frequently with tiotropium than placebo. Based on the mechanism of action and the observed age interaction, constipation and urinary tract infection may be important. –Possible effect on heart rate/rhythm may merit further evaluation Safety: –Dry mouth is common, shows an age and gender interaction, and is more frequent than with ipratropium –Several AEs occurred more frequently with tiotropium than placebo.

57 Pulmonary-Allergy Drugs Advisory Committee September 6, 2002 57 SummarySummary Efficacy: –Appears to provide clinically meaningful bronchodilation –Duration of action supports once-daily dosing –Maximum bronchodilator effect reached after multiple daily doses –Demonstrable effect on TDI. However, the clinical significance of this effect is not known. Issues with the instrument and its implementation in the studies Effect size (NNT) Efficacy: –Appears to provide clinically meaningful bronchodilation –Duration of action supports once-daily dosing –Maximum bronchodilator effect reached after multiple daily doses –Demonstrable effect on TDI.
