ObjectiveTo compare the atomization efficacy of a novel micro-dose mesh nebulizer (CVS-100) versus the traditional mesh nebulizer (M102) in nebulizing a combination of ipratropium bromide and salbutamol for treatment of stable moderate-to-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). MethodsA randomized, parallel, non-inferiority study was conducted. A total of 64 stable COPD patients were randomly assigned to either the experimental group or the control group in a 1:1 ratio. Each the experimental group received nebulized Combivent (Compound Ipratropium Bromide Solution) with CVS-100, while the control group received Combivent with M102. Lung ventilation function was measured before and 30 min after nebulization, and the difference in percentage of forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) of predicted value (FEV1%pred), the forced expiratory flow at 50% (FEF50%), the forced expiratory flow at 75% (FEF75%), the mid-expiratory flow (FEF25-75%), and maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV) was evaluated. The non-inferiority margin for the lower 95% confidence limit was set at 3.5%. ResultsThe lower limit of the 95% confidence interval for the difference in FEV1%pred between the two groups was −1.83357, which was greater than −3.5. No significant differences were found in FEF50%, FEF75%, FEF25∼75%, MVV before and after nebulization between the two groups. ConclusionThe novel micro-dose mesh nebulizer (CVS-100) was found to be non-inferior to the traditional mesh nebulizer (M102) in terms of the change in FEV1%pred from baseline after nebulization. Similar results were observed for all other measures of efficacy.
