Summary

This will be a double-blind crossover trial in 20 patient with stable COPD. Data from this study will provide proof-of-concept information on whether the (anticipated) additional bronchodilator effect of Brovana added to tiotropium will lead to a meaningful improvement in the patient-centered outcome, exercise capacity. This study will only evaluate the effects of short-term (1-week) administration of Brovana. If results are positive, it would provide preliminary data for further, multicenter investigations.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Informed consent (Approval by the St. Francis Hospital Institutional Review Board (IRB) will be required before study initiation)
  • Adults, age > 40 years
  • A clinical diagnosis of COPD, with spirometric confirmation: post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second / forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) ( < 0.70
  • Moderate, severe and very severe airflow limitation by GOLD criteria.
  • Clinically stable respiratory disease
  • The perceived ability to participate in pulmonary testing and exercise testing
  • COPD, stable state

Exclusion criteria

  • Women of childbearing potential
  • Asthma
  • Supplemental oxygen use or anticipated oxygen desaturation < 85% at peak exercise (patients who desaturate below 85% on the incremental study will be excluded)
  • Co-morbidity that would interfere with the patient participating in the study, including the exercise testing. Examples include unstable cardiac disease, arthritis, psychological problems that would interfere with participation
  • An exacerbation requiring therapy or any change in maintenance COPD therapy within six weeks of testing
  • A history of a prolonged QT interval
  • Recent exacerbation of COPD
