SÃO PAULO, 28 de junho de 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- A Novartis anuncia a publicação do estudo FLAME no New England Journal of Medicine, pesquisa que compara a eficácia de Ultibro® (indacaterol / brometo de glicopirrônio), nova terapia recentemente aprovada no Brasil, com o atual padrão de tratamento para pacientes com Doença Pulmonar Crônica Obstrutiva (DPOC)1. Os resultados demonstram que Ultibro®, medicamento que faz parte de uma classe terapêutica que combina broncodilatadores, é mais eficaz na redução de exacerbações (crises), além de prolongar o tempo de intervalo entre as crises quando comparado com a combinação salmeterol e fluticasona1.

A prevenção das exacerbações é um dos principais objetivos dos tratamentos de longa duração para pacientes com DPOC, já que elas têm um efeito negativo sobre a qualidade de vida e progressão da doença2, promovendo a diminuição da função pulmonar3,4 e, em casos graves, gerando hospitalização5 e até mesmo a morte2..  A doença será a terceira maior causa de morte no mundo até 20206,7 e no Brasil, na última década, foi a quinta maior causa de internação no SUS entre os maiores de 40 anos com cerca de 200 mil hospitalizações por ano.8

"Reduzir as exacerbações é absolutamente fundamental para melhorar os resultados e qualidade de vida de pacientes", sustenta Dr. José Jardim, Pneumologista e Professor-Livre Docente da Escola Paulista de Medicina da UNIFESP. "A terapia combinada de broncodilatadores já é considerada o melhor tratamento disponível para boa parte dos pacientes com DPOC, principalmente, devido à redução do número de crises e por facilitar a aderência ao tratamento".

Os broncodilatadores são a base do tratamento para DPOC e são divididos nas classes LABA e LAMA, a primeira responsável por "abrir" o brônquio para que o paciente respire melhor, enquanto a segunda por mantê-los abertos garantindo a passagem do ar aos pulmões9,10.  Atualmente, essas classes de medicamento são disponibilizadas separadamente, as chamadas de monoterapia.  Ultibro® (indacaterol / brometo de glicopirrônio) é uma terapia combinada que une os dois tipos de broncodilatadores11.

A doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica é pouco conhecida, mas já acomete cinco milhões de pessoas apenas no Brasil.13 Apesar disso, estima-se que 70% dos pacientes permanecem não diagnosticados12
