Abstract

Methods for treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in a patient are disclosed. In the methods, a patient having COPD is selected for treatment based on the patient's peak inspiratory flow rate (PIFR) and percent predicted force expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1 ); and a bronchodilator is administered to the selected patient using a nebulizer. Administration of a bronchodilator to patients having low PIFR and a percent predicted FEV 1 less than 50 percent using a nebulizer as the inhalation delivery device provides significantly greater improvements in trough FEV 1 and trough forced vital capacity (FVC) compared to administration of a bronchodilator to such patients using a dry powder inhaler.

Claims (20)

1. A method for treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in a patient having severe to very severe COPD, the method comprising:

selecting a patient having a percent predicted force expiratory volume in one second of less than about 50 percent; and

selecting a nebulizer as an inhalation delivery device to administer revefenacin, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, to the patient,

wherein the patient has a peak inspiratory flow rate of less than about 60 L/min; and

wherein the method comprises administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising an aqueous solution of revefenacin, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, to the patient using the nebulizer.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the patient has very severe COPD.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the patient has severe COPD.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the patient has a peak inspiratory flow rate of less than about 50 L/min.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the patient has a peak inspiratory flow rate of less than about 40 L/min.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the patient has a peak inspiratory flow rate of less than about 30 L/min.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the patient has a percent predicted forced expiratory volume in one second less than about 40 percent.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the patient has a percent predicted forced expiratory volume in one second less than about 30 percent.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the patient has a peak inspiratory flow rate in the range of about 20 L/min to less than about 60 L/min and a percent predicted forced expiratory volume in one second in the range of from about 20 percent to less than 50 percent.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises about 175 μg/3 mL of revefenacin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition has a pH in the range of about 4.5 to about 5.5.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition has a pH of about 4.8 to about 5.2.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is isotonic.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition further comprises sodium chloride, citric acid and sodium citrate.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is sterile, isotonic and has a pH of about 4.8 to about 5.2.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is administered using a jet nebulizer.
