Summary

Preserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry (PRISm) is characterized by a normal forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio but an FEV1 below 80% of the predicted value. It has a population prevalence of approximately 10% and is associated with marked symptoms, a high risk of acute exacerbations, and increased mortality. The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) defines PRISm as a pre-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) state, and 20%-30% of patients with PRISm will progress to COPD. Currently, no evidence-based therapy exists for PRISm; management is mainly symptomatic relief, and there is an urgent need for evidence-based support. This single-arm clinical trial preliminarily evaluates the efficacy and safety of budesonide/glycopyrronium/formoterol inhalation aerosol in symptomatic patients with PRISm. Symptomatic smokers who meet the diagnostic criteria for PRISm and have an FEV1/FVC ratio ≥0.7 and \<0.8 are enrolled and treated with budesonide/glycopyrronium/formoterol inhalation therapy for 12 weeks. The primary endpoint is the change from baseline in FEV1; secondary endpoints include symptom score (COPD Assessment Test, CAT) and quality of life (St George's Respiratory Questionnaire, SGRQ); safety is assessed by recording adverse events (e.g., cardiovascular events); and exploratory analyses examine the association between biomarkers (e.g., peripheral blood eosinophil count, serum IgE level) and treatment efficacy. The study aims to preliminarily explore the efficacy and safety of budesonide/glycopyrronium/formoterol inhaler therapy for PRISm. Early intervention may delay the progression from PRISm to COPD, reduce the burden of chronic respiratory disease, and have important clinical translational value and public health significance.

Conditions

  • Preserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry (PRISM)

Interventions

DRUG

Budesonide/glycopyrronium bromide/formoterol inhalation aerosol

Budesonide/glycopyrronium/formoterol inhalation aerosol delivers budesonide (160 μg), glycopyrronium (7.2 μg), and formoterol (4.8 μg) per actuation. It is administered as two inhalations twice daily (two in the morning and two in the evening), approximately 12 hours apart, via a pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pMDI). Subjects are required to receive standardized training on inhalation technique to ensure proper technique.
