Assessment of peak inspiratory flow in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a multicentre, observational, prospective, real-life study.
BMJ open respiratory research · 2025 · Open access · Likely link

Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine whether PIF is clinically important when using the Ellipta DPI device. In addition, the study will validate the best/most clinically appropriate way to perform a PIF maneuver, to determine the testing capabilities of the preferred PIF maneuver and to relate this PIF measurement to meaningful clinical outcomes in COPD patients

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • smoking history >10 pack years
  • pre-bronchodilator FEV1 <60% predicted
  • post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC <70%
  • female participants are eligible to participate if they are not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:
  • not a woman of childbearing potential OR
  • agree to follow the contraceptive guidance during the treatment period and until the safety follow-up contact after the last dose of study treatment
  • stratification requiring at least 1/3 of patients having a PIF of < 60L/min (AM pre-dose based on using the level 2 InCheck Dial resistance setting with a sharp maximal effort starting after exhaling fully)

Exclusion Criteria
