BACKGROUND: The extrafine-particle formulation of hydrofluoroalkane-beclometasone (EF HFA-BDP; Qvar®) demonstrates improved total and small airway deposition compared with large-particle chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)-BDP. In some short-term studies, EF HFA-BDP provides greater effects on lung function than CFC-BDP, and hence is recommended to be prescribed at a lower dose, but whether there are differences in asthma outcomes during long-term treatment is unknown.
OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness of EF HFA-BDP vs. CFC-BDP over 1 year.
METHODS: This retrospective matched cohort study examined outcomes in a large primary care database for patients aged 5-60 years with asthma receiving their first inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) prescription (initiation population) or first ICS dose increase (step-up population) by a pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pMDI) as EF HFA-BDP or CFC-BDP. Patients were matched on baseline demographic and asthma severity measures in EF HFA-BDP:CFC-BDP ratios of 1:3 and 1:2 for initiation and step-up populations, respectively. Step-up patients were matched also on ICS dose during a baseline year. Co-primary endpoints were asthma control (composite measure comprising no recorded hospital attendance for asthma, oral corticosteroids, or antibiotics for lower respiratory infection) and exacerbation rate during the outcome year.
RESULTS: For the initiation population (EF HFA-BDP n=2882; CFC-BDP n=8646), adjusted odds of achieving asthma control with EF HFA-BDP vs. CFC-BDP was 1.15 (95% CI 1.02-1.28). For the step-up population (n=258 and 516), adjusted odds of asthma control with EF HFA-BDP was 1.72 (95% CI 1.14-2.56). EF HFA-BDP was prescribed at a median dose half that of CFC-BDP.
CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: During 1 year after initiating or stepping up ICS therapy by pMDI, patients who received EF HFA-BDP were more likely to achieve asthma control than those receiving CFC-BDP. These findings suggest that ICS formulation, particle size, and deposition characteristics play important roles in real-life effectiveness of asthma therapy. This study shows that an EF-particle formulation of beclometasone can be used at half the dose of the large-particle formulation with at least as good clinical outcomes.
