Nebulised budesonide using a novel device in patients with oral steroid-dependent asthma

Abstract: This phase 2/3 randomised, parallel-group, placebo-controlled trial investigated oral corticosteroid (OCS)-sparing efficacy, safety and tolerability of nebulised budesonide (Bud) administered with a novel computer-controlled, compressor-driven inhalation system (AKITA) as add-on therapy to Global Initiative for Asthma step 5.Patients (18-65 years) with OCS-dependent asthma were randomised (2:1:1:1) to receive 18-week, twicedaily, double-blind treatment with AKITA inhaled corticosteroid (AICS)-Bud 1 mg, AICS-Bu… Show more

“…The dosing reliability of nebulisers has become far more accurate, with jet (pneumatic) and ultrasonic nebulisers giving way to portable vibrating mesh devices enhanced by the integration of software control. Indeed, intelligent nebulisers have been used in clinical trials to treat patients with asthma [35], where they pulse aerosols in greater amounts to the lungs with less waste and with deep lung delivery, and also in systemic delivery to treat patients with pulmonary hypertension [36]. …”

“…In regard to this, vibrating mesh disk nebulisers, powered by a compressor and containing a microchip, control drug delivery to the patient and have an adaptive aerosol system to pulse the inhaled drug during the inhalation. This therefore leads to less dose wastage, positively impacting on patient's adherence 33 . A smart nebuliser system containing an electronic smart-card unit with an air compressor to accurately dose and target aerosol delivery, has also been developed lately, showing better efficacy and patients' adherence compared to standard nebulisers 34 .…”
