More than 3 million people died of COPD in 2012 accounting for 6% of all deaths globally. COPD represents an important public health challenge that is both preventable and treatable. COPD is a major cause of chronic morbidity and mortality throughout the world; many people suffer from this disease for years and die prematurely from it or its complications. Globally, the COPD burden is projected to increase in coming decades because of continued exposure to COPD risk factors and aging of the population.2 This Pocket Guide has been developed from the Global Strategy for the Diagnosis, Management, and Prevention of COPD (2020 Report), which aims to provide

    PRODUCT INFORMATION Piclamilast Item No. 29170 CAS Registry No.: 144035-83-6 Formal Name: 3-(cyclopentyloxy)-N-(3,5-dichloro- 4-pyridinyl)-4-methoxy-benzamide O Synonyms: RP 73401, RPR 73401 Cl H MF: C18H18Cl2N2O3 FW: 381.3 N O Purity: ≥98% O Supplied as: A solid N Storage: -20°C Cl Stability: ≥2 years Information represents the product specifications. Batch specific analytical results are provided on each certificate of analysis. Laboratory Procedures Piclamilast is supplied as a solid. A stock solution may be made by dissolving the piclamilast in the solvent of choice, which should be purged with an inert gas. Piclamilast is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and DMSO. The solubility of piclamilast in ethanol is approximately 20 mM and approximately 100 mM in DMSO. Description 1 Piclamilast is a phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor (IC50 = 0.31 nM). It is selective for PDE4 over PDE1, 2,3 PDE2, PDE3, PDE5, and PDE7A in cell-free assays (IC50s = >100, 40, >100, 14, and >10 μM, respectively). Piclamilast inhibits superoxide production by guinea pig eosinophils and histamine-induced contraction 1,4 in isolated guinea pig trachea (IC50s = 24 and 2 nM, respectively). It inhibits eosinophil, neutrophil, lymphocyte, and TNF-α accumulation in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from ovalbumin-sensitized 5 rats (ED50s = 23.8, 14.1, 19.5, and 14.4 μmol/kg, respectively). Piclamilast also inhibits ovalbumin-induced 2 bronchoconstriction in a guinea pig model of asthma (ED50 = 0.033 mg/kg). References 1. Ashton, M.J., Cook, D.C., Fenton, G., et al.

    202 Chapter 5 FUTURE WORK There is more work is planned for these projects. Some of the proposed future work fell out of the questions and problems that arise while first attempting to solve a problem. Some of it was originally intended to be encompassed in the thesis work, but work at an earlier stage grew to dominate the project as a result of the sheer volume of data available. Many questions were left unanswered in the work described in Chapter 4. It is not clear why the MM5 does not predict the secondary winds that clearly must exist in the current wind regime. These winds do not appear in GFDL GCM model runs, and they may not exist in any current atmospheric model. It is possible that they are produced by rare storms (i.e., storms that occur once a decade or century), and I would like to look into the possibility of observing or predicting these storms. The MM5 also does not predict winds strong enough to lift basaltic grains into saltation. This may simply be a problem of model resolution, and it is not a difficult prospect to run the model at a higher resolution and/or to output the strongest hourly winds at each grid point rather than the winds at the top of each hour. There is also the problem that the MM5 is meant to hold subgrids that are no more than three times smaller than their parent grids – and yet our model runs at a scale of 10 km were more than an order of magnitude higher resolution than the parent grid.

    ANALYSIS OF THE DEPTH-DIAMETER RELATIONSHIP OF MARTIAN CRATERS A Capstone Experience Thesis Presented by Jared Howenstine Completion Date: May 2006 Approved By: Professor M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Professor Christopher Condit, Geology Professor Judith Young, Astronomy Abstract Title: Analysis of the Depth-Diameter Relationship of Martian Craters Author: Jared Howenstine, Astronomy Approved By: Judith Young, Astronomy Approved By: M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Approved By: Christopher Condit, Geology CE Type: Departmental Honors Project Using a gridded version of maritan topography with the computer program Gridview, this project studied the depth-diameter relationship of martian impact craters. The work encompasses 361 profiles of impacts with diameters larger than 15 kilometers and is a continuation of work that was started at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas under the guidance of Dr. Walter S. Keifer. Using the most ‘pristine,’ or deepest craters in the data a depth-diameter relationship was determined: d = 0.610D 0.327 , where d is the depth of the crater and D is the diameter of the crater, both in kilometers. This relationship can then be used to estimate the theoretical depth of any impact radius, and therefore can be used to estimate the pristine shape of the crater. With a depth-diameter ratio for a particular crater, the measured depth can then be compared to this theoretical value and an estimate of the amount of material within the crater, or fill, can then be calculated. The data includes 140 named impact craters, 3 basins, and 218 other impacts. The named data encompasses all named impact structures of greater than 100 kilometers in diameter.

  • Therapeutic Class Overview Inhaled Anticholinergics
    Therapeutic Class Overview Inhaled Anticholinergics Therapeutic Class Overview/Summary: The inhaled anticholinergics are a class of bronchodilators primarily used in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a condition characterized by progressive airflow restrictions that are not fully reversible.1-3 Symptoms associated with COPD typically include dyspnea, cough, sputum production, wheezing and chest tightness. Specifically, inhaled anticholinergics work via the inhibition of acetylcholine at parasympathetic sites in bronchial smooth muscle causing bronchodilation. Meaningful increases in lung function can be achieved with the use of inhaled anticholinergics in patients with COPD.1-3 The available single-entity inhaled anticholinergics include aclidinium (Tudorza® Pressair), glycopyrrolate (Seebri Neohaler®), ipratropium (Atrovent®, Atrovent® HFA), tiotropium (Spiriva®, Spiriva Respimat®) and umeclidinium (Incruse Ellipta®) with the combination products including glycopyrrolate/indacaterol (Utibron Neohaler®), umeclidinium/vilanterol (Anoro Ellipta®), tiotropium/olodaterol (Stiolto Respimat®) and ipratropium/albuterol, formulated as either an inhaler (Combivent Respimat®) or nebulizer solution (DuoNeb).4-15 Ipratropium, a short-acting bronchodilator, has a duration of action of six to eight hours and requires administration four times daily. Aclidinium, glycopyrrolate, tiotropium and umeclidinium are considered long-acting bronchodilators. Aclidinium is dosed twice daily, while glycopyrrolate, tiotropium and umeclidinium

  • Olodaterol Monograph
    Olodaterol Monograph Olodaterol (Striverdi Respimat) National Drug Monograph VA Pharmacy Benefits Management Services, Medical Advisory Panel, and VISN Pharmacist Executives The purpose of VA PBM Services drug monographs is to provide a comprehensive drug review for making formulary decisions. Updates will be made when new clinical data warrant additional formulary discussion. Documents will be placed in the Archive section when the information is deemed to be no longer current. FDA Approval Information Description/Mechan Olodaterol is a long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA). Binding to and activating ism of Action beta2-adrenoceptors in the airways results in stimulation of intracellular adenyl cyclase, an enzyme that mediates the synthesis of cyclic-3’, 5’ adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Elevated levels of cAMP induce bronchodilation by relaxation of airway smooth muscle cells. Indication(s) Under Long-term once daily maintenance bronchodilator treatment of airflow obstruction in Review patients with COPD including chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema Dosage Form(s) Inhalation spray for oral inhalation via Respimat (a soft-mist inhaler) Under Review The soft-mist inhalers (SMI) provide multi-dose medication using liquid formulations similar to that used in nebulizers and are propellant-free. Presently, Respimat is the only SMI commercially available for clinical use. The soft mist is released at a slower velocity and has more prolonged spray duration than the mist produced from pressurized metered dose inhalers (pMDIs). Pressurized MDIs require coordination of actuation with inhalation which may be difficult for some patients partly due to the rapid speed at which the drug is delivered and the short duration of the mist.

The FDA background package often contains assessments and/or conclusions and recommendations written by individual FDA reviewers. Such conclusions and recommendations do not necessarily represent the final position of the individual reviewers, nor do they necessarily represent the final position of the Review Division or Office. We have brought the supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) 209482, for fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol, as an inhaled fixed dose combination, for the reduction in all-cause mortality in patients with COPD, to this Advisory Committee in order to gain the Committee’s insights and opinions, and the background package may not include all issues relevant to the final regulatory recommendation and instead is intended to focus on issues identified by the Agency for discussion by the advisory committee. The FDA will not issue a final determination on the issues at hand until input from the advisory committee process has been considered
