About this trial

This phase IV randomized controlled clinical trial intend to compare the effect of three close standard inhaled triple therapies and one close standard inhaled double therapy on the small airway in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD-B) and chronic bronchitis without obstruction (BCNO) exposed to wood smoke. The treatment phase duration is of 3 months. As primary outcome, the resistance change in post-bronchodilatator impulse oscilometry will me measure at 30 minutes, 2 hours, 4 hours, and 24 hours post first dose of the asigned medication, and then at 1 and 3 months of treatment. As secondary outcomes, change in respiratory symptoms and health related quality of life will be assess after 1 and 3 months of treatment.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Subject capable of understanding instructions and giving her consent for participation.

Diagnosis of COPD according to GOLD guidelines 2023 with: >100 hours-year of biomass exposure index, and with a post-bronchodilator spirometry FEV1 > 70% of predicted value.

Diagnosis of Chronic Bronchitis without obstruction with at least >100 hours-year of biomass smoke exposure index or more than 10 years of continued exposure to biomass smoke, and with 1) antecedent of chronic bronchitis, and 2) post-bronchodilator spirometry FEV1/FVC >0.7.

Able to attend all visits.

Disqualifiers

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change in impulse oscillometry

To quantify the change in impulse oscillometry (post-bronchodilator) change in total resistance measured in percentage change from baseline change R5-R20 and/or AX for the patients who used Vilanterol / Umeclidinium 25/62.5 mcg once daily = ANORO®; Fluthicasone / Vilanterol / Umeclidinium 100/25/62.5 mcg once daily= TRELEGY®; Beclomethasone / Formoterol / Glycopyrronyum 100/6/12.5 mcg; two inhalations twice daily = TRIMBOW®; and Budesonide / Formoterol / Glycopyrronyum 160/4.8/7.2 mcg two inhalations twice daily= TRIXEO®.
