Roflumilast in Asthma

• Roflumilast 250µg / 500µg is safe and well tolerated

• Roflumilast may have antiflammatory properties- dose-dependent reduction of early and late asthmatic reactions

- ongoing sputum and biopsy studies

• In Phase II/III clinical trials Roflumilast showed – A dose response effect, with 250µg and 500µg being effective doses– Superiority over Montelukast– Equivalence to 400 µg BDP

• Efficacy already after 1 week of treatment

• Constant efficacy over at least 1 year

• Clinically relevant improvement of lung function

In collaboration with the World Health Organization

Page 31: “Linee Guida Internazionali su Asma e Rinite” Prof. Leonardo M. Fabbri Department of Pulmonary Diseases University of Modena & Reggio Emilia, Italy http//pneumologia.unimo.it.

The ARIA initiative was developed

• as a state-of-the-art for the specialist, the general practitioner and for health care workers:

• to update their knowledge of allergic rhinitis,

• to highlight the impact of allergic rhinitis on asthma,

• to provide an evidence-based documented revision on the diagnosis methods,

• to provide an evidence-based revision on the treatments available,

• to propose a stepwise approach to the management of the disease,

• to assess the magnitude of the problem in developing countries and to implement guidelines (with IUATLD)

Page 32: “Linee Guida Internazionali su Asma e Rinite” Prof. Leonardo M. Fabbri Department of Pulmonary Diseases University of Modena & Reggio Emilia, Italy http//pneumologia.unimo.it.

ARIA programme First phase:

• Development of evidence-based guidelines during a workshop held at WHO in December 1999 (J Allergy Clin Immunol, suppl, Nov 2001).

• Document has been endorsed by several allergy, respiratory, ENT and paediatric associations.

• Document has been endorsed by several allergy, respiratory, ENT and paediatric associations.

Second phase:

• To produce materials to help improve delivery of care to those with rhinitis. In particular a pocket guide

• To implement ARIA guidelines

• To update the workshop report
