Sammanfattning

En studie på patienter med KOL som behandlats med formoterol/budesonid visade att kvinnor hade en ökad risk för exacerbationer. Inga könsskillnader i effekt eller farmakokinetik har observerats. En mindre studie fann generellt sämre inhalationsteknik hos kvinnor vilket gav lägre effektiv dos.

Background

Some studies suggest that there are sex differences in expression and diagnosing of asthma, and it has been discussed if women are under-treated for respiratory diseases or not [5, 6].

Pharmacokinetics and dosing
According to studies conducted by the manufacturer, no sex differences in pharmacokinetics have been identified for inhalation of either formoterol or budesonide [7, 8].

Effects
A randomized, open-label, crossover trial compared efficacy of formoterol and ipratropium/salbutamol in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (49 men, 50 women). Post-hoc subgroup analyses showed that pre-dose FEV1 after two weeks was improved with formoterol when compared to ipratropium/salbutamol in men but not in women. Transition Dyspnea Index after two weeks was similar between treatments and in men and women [9].

A post hoc analysis of data from a randomized double-blind study in COPD patients (169 men, 86 women) showed that combination therapy of tiotropium and formoterol was more efficacious on FEV1 than tiotropium monotherapy in both men and women [10].

Post-hoc subgroup analyses showed that pre-dose FEV1 after two weeks was improved with formoterol when compared to ipratropium/salbutamol in men but not in women.

A post hoc analysis of data from a randomized double-blind study in COPD patients (169 men, 86 women) showed that combination therapy of tiotropium and formoterol was more efficacious on FEV1 than tiotropium monotherapy in both men and women [10]. # Adverse effects Except for events such as exacerbations in COPD no studies with a clinically relevant sex-analysis of adverse effects of formoterol have been found. # Reproductive health issues Regarding teratogenic aspects, please consult Janusmed Drugs and Birth Defects (in Swedish, Janusmed fosterpåverkan). # Other information In a study on inhalation technique using metered dose inhalers (33 men, 26 women), 75% of the participants had an incorrect inhalation technique, especially women, regardless of age. Only 4% of women and 43% of men had an acceptable inhalation technique. The authors speculate that this may add to the worse asthma prognosis in women, shown in a meta-analysis of six trials of randomly assigned asthma treatment [1]. Several studies have shown worse prognosis for women with asthma. In an observational registry study (416 men, 498 women), women were found to have more asthmatic symptoms, worse quality of life and require more health care due to their asthma [2]. In a Danish prospective study on hospitalization due to asthma (6104 men of whom 2.5% had asthma, 7436 women of whom 2.2% had asthma), women had a 1.7 higher relative risk to be hospitalized [3]. An observational study from Singapore found hospitalization due to asthma to be more common in boys than girls aged 0-4 years (boys/girls ratio 1.69). In adults aged 35-64 years, women were more hospitalized (men/women ratio 0.81) [4]. Predictors for exacerbations in COPD patients was identified by analyzing data from clinical trials of formoterol/budesonide in patients with a history of exacerbations (2017 men, 1124 women). Multivariate analyses showed that female sex was one of the predictors of increased risk of exacerbations (HR 1.32). When data was analyzed separately for men and women, identified predictors in men were the same as for to the whole study population. In women, the same predictors were identified with the exceptions; ‘number of COPD exacerbations during the previous year’ was not one of the predictors while total score on the St George’s Respiratory Questionnaire was one [11].
