    Abstract:
    We investigated the short-term bronchodilator effects of RPL554 (an inhaled dual phosphodiesterase 3 and 4 inhibitor) combined with other bronchodilators in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with reversibility (>150 mL to short-acting bronchodilators).Study 1 was a six-way, placebo-controlled crossover study (n=36) with single doses of RPL554 (6 mg), salbutamol (200 µg), ipratropium (40 µg), RPL554 (6 mg)+salbutamol (200 µg), RPL554 (6 mg)+ipratropium (40 µg) or placebo. Study 2 was a three-way crossover study (n=30) of tiotropium (18 µg) combined with RPL554 (1.5 or 6 mg) or placebo for 3 days. Forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), lung volumes and specific airway conductance (sG aw) were measured.In study 1, peak FEV1 change compared with placebo was similar with RPL554, ipratropium and salbutamol (mean 223, 199 and 187 mL, respectively). The peak FEV1 was higher for RPL554+ipratropium versus ipratropium (mean difference 94 mL; p<0.0001) and RPL554+salbutamol versus salbutamol (mean difference 108 mL; p<0.0001). In study 2 (day 3), both RPL554 doses caused greater peak FEV1 effects than placebo. The average FEV1 (0-12 h) increase was greater with RPL554 6 mg only versus placebo (mean difference 65 mL; p=0.0009). In both studies, lung volumes and sG aw showed greater RPL554 combination treatment effects versus monotherapy.RPL554 combined with standard bronchodilators caused additional bronchodilation and hyperinflation reduction.
