Aclidinium bromide inhibits proliferation, migration and invasion but promotes apoptosis of human glioma cells via PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
Abstract The aim of the study was to investigate the anticancer potential of Aclidinium bromide (INN) in glioblastoma. Glioblastoma cell lines U251 and U87 were treated with INN. The effects of INN on cell migration and invasion were assessed by transwell migration and invasion assays. Additionally, the effects of INN on the proliferation and apoptosis were detected by CCK-8 kit and flow cytometry. Western blotting was employed to determine anti-apoptotic proteins and the signaling pathway changes. The results showed that INN effectively suppressed proliferation, migration and invasion and induced apoptosi...

Aclidinium bromide improves symptoms and sleep quality in COPD: a pilot study
In patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), nighttime and early-morning symptoms are associated with an increased rate of exacerbation, hospital admission and reduced survival [1, 2]. Furthermore, patients with COPD frequently have poor sleep quality [3] and reduced physical activity [4, 5]. We hypothesised that nighttime airflow obstruction in patients with COPD is associated with impaired sleep quality, leading to early-morning symptoms and reduced physical activity.

A randomised double-blind, placebo-controlled, long-term extension study of the efficacy, safety and tolerability of fixed-dose combinations of aclidinium/formoterol or monotherapy in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Aclidinium bromide/formoterol fumarate (AB/FF) 400/12  μg efficacy and safety was demonstrated in two 6-month Phase III studies (AUGMENT and ACLIFORM) and a 12-month study in patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This Phase III, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 6-month AUGMENT extension investigated the long- term safety and tolerability of AB/FF 400/12 μg (NCT01572792). (Source: Respiratory Medicine)

Long Acting Muscarinic Antagonists for the Treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Review of Current and Developing Drugs.
This article reviews the clinical efficacy and adverse effects of currently available LAMAs in COPD treatment as well as developing LAMAs in early clinical trials and preclinical studies (V0162, TD-4208, CHF 5407, AZD9164, AZD8683, bencycloquidium). In addition, a new class of molecule that combines muscarinic antagonist and β2-adrenergic properties (MABA) is described and current developmental progress discussed (GSK-961081, THRX-200495). Expert Opinion: Future key areas for developing drugs for the management of COPD include prolonged duration of action, optimal delivery systems, synergistic combinations with other drug...

The effect of aclidinium bromide 400 {micro}g on sleep quality in COPD: A pilot study
Conclusions: In this pilot study, aclidinium 400 µg BID significantly improved lung function. Improvements were also observed in sleep quality, physical activity and symptoms in patients with moderate COPD. These changes may be clinically important and therefore require confirmation in adequately powered studies. (Source: European Respiratory Journal)

Evaluation of COPD Treatments: A Multicriteria Decision Analysis of Aclidinium and Tiotropium in the United States
Comparisons of the use of aclidinium bromide and tiotropium bromide for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease often concentrate on key end points (exacerbations) at the expense of other benefits and risks. Multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) can help overcome this by using stakeholder preferences to combine multiple end points into an overall value estimate. (Source: Value in Health)

Efficacy and safety of aclidinium/formoterol versus salmeterol/fluticasone: a phase 3 COPD study
The efficacy and safety of twice-daily aclidinium bromide/formoterol fumarate was compared with that of salmeterol/fluticasone propionate in patients with stable, moderate-to-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). AFFIRM COPD (Aclidinium and Formoterol Findings in Respiratory Medicine COPD) was a 24-week, double-blind, double-dummy, active-controlled study. Patients were randomised (1:1) to aclidinium/formoterol 400/12 µg twice-daily via Genuair/Pressair or salmeterol/fluticasone 50/500 µg twice-daily via Accuhaler. The primary end-point was peak forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV...

Effect of Aclidinium Bromide on Exacerbations in Patients with Moderate-to-Severe COPD: A Pooled Analysis of Five Phase III, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Studies.
Authors: Wedzicha JA, Agusti A, Donaldson G, Chuecos F, Lamarca R, Gil EG Abstract We investigated the effect of the long-acting muscarinic antagonist aclidinium bromide on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations by pooling data from five randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group Phase III studies of 3-6 months' duration. Data were pooled from the aclidinium 400 μg twice-daily (BID) and placebo arms (N  =  2,521) and stratified by Global initiative for chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) group (A, B, C and D). Results showed that fewer patients experienced ≥1 exacerbation...

Aclidinium bromide inhalation powder for the long-term, maintenance treatment of bronchospasm associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease including chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
Authors: Matera MG, Sanduzzi A, Alfano R, Cazzola M Abstract Aclidinium is a twice-daily long-acting muscarinic receptor antagonist (LAMA) with an interesting pharmacological profile. Recent evidence indicates that this LAMA, in addition to causing a significant improvement in lung function and other important supportive outcomes, such as health related quality of life, dyspnea and nighttime/early morning symptoms in patients suffering from COPD, is also able to significantly reduce the rate of exacerbations of any severity, is extremely effective in controlling the COPD symptoms, is able to reduce lung hy...

Efficacy and Safety of an Aclidinium Bromide Treatment for 12 Weeks or Longer in Patients with Moderate-To-Severe COPD: A Meta-Analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: Aclidinium reduced the incidence of exacerbation-related hospitalizations and improved quality of life, COPD symptoms and pulmonary function. In addition, aclidinium did not increase the incidence of non-fatal serious adverse events, cardiac adverse events, or COPD exacerbations and was not associated with increased mortality.
