Triple combination therapy with tiotropium plus budesonide/formoterol has improved lung function and reduced exacerbation risk in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Western countries, but no such data exist for East Asian patients. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of adding budesonide/formoterol to tiotropium compared with tiotropium alone in East Asian patients with severe/very severe COPD. 
Efficacy of budesonide/formoterol and tiotropium combination for the treatment of Chinese patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
TLDR
It is suggested that B/F and tiotropium combination can be used as an effective treatment in Chinese patients with COPD.
The efficacy of adding budesonide/formoterol to ipratropium plus theophylline in managing severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: an open-label, randomized study in China
TLDR
Patients with severe COPD in China treated with BUD/FORM plus I-T showed significant improvements in lung function and HRQoL and a reduction in exacerbations compared with I+T alone.
Efficacy and Safety of Budesonide/Glycopyrronium/Formoterol Fumarate versus Other Triple Combinations in COPD: A Systematic Literature Review and Network Meta-analysis
TLDR
Across all outcomes for exacerbations, lung function, symptoms, health-related quality of life, safety, and tolerability, the efficacy and safety of BUD/GLY/FOR were comparable to those of other triple ICS/LAMA/LABA fixed-dose and open combination therapies and open combinations at or over 24 and 52 weeks.
Efficacy and safety of tiotropium bromide combined with budesonide/formoterol in the treatment of moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
TLDR
Inhalation treatment of tiotropium bromide combined with budesonide/formoterol significantly improves pulmonary function, exercise capacity and quality of life of patients with COPD compared with budsonide/ formoterol inhalation alone, while the effect of reducing the acute attack risk requires further evaluation.
Patient considerations in the treatment of COPD: focus on the new combination inhaler fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol
TLDR
A new combination by fluticasone furoate, umeclidinium, and vilanterol is available for COPD patients and has demonstrated efficacy and safety, with a single administration a day through a dry powder inhalator device, which has shown a good adherence and is a preference of the patient.
Real-Life Clinical and Functional Effects of Fluticasone Furoate/Umeclidinium/Vilanterol-Combined Triple Therapy in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
TLDR
The real-life results suggest that triple inhaled therapy with FF/UMEC/VI, when given to COPD patients with frequent exacerbations, is able to positively impact on dyspnea and global health status as well as to significantly decrease COPD exacerbations and improve airflow limitation and lung hyperinflation.
Efficacy and safety of single-inhaler extrafine triple therapy versus inhaled corticosteroid plus long-acting beta2 agonist in eastern Asian patients with COPD: the TRIVERSYTI randomised controlled trial
TLDR
In patients with COPD, treatment with extrafine BDP/FF/G improved bronchodilation, and was more effective at preventing moderate/severe COPD exacerbations than BUD/FF.
Efficacy of Budesonide/Glycopyrronium/Formoterol Fumarate Metered Dose Inhaler (BGF MDI) Versus Other Inhaled Corticosteroid/Long-Acting Muscarinic Antagonist/Long-Acting β2-Agonist (ICS/LAMA/LABA) Triple Combinations in COPD: A Systematic Literature Review and Network Meta-analysis
TLDR
It is suggested that BGF MDI has comparable efficacy to other ICS/LAMA/LABA fixed-dose and open triple combination therapies in reducing exacerbations and improving lung function and symptoms in patients with moderate to very severe COPD.
Triple Therapy in COPD
TLDR
There is consistent evidence that the LABA/LAMA/ICS combination has significantly greater effects on trough FEV1, symptoms, quality of life, and exercise performance compared to comparator treatments.

TLDR
ICS together with LABA or LABA/LAMA reduces the risk of exacerbations in COPD and the indication of using ICS is stronger if the patient has increased blood eosinophils levels, with studies showing a better effect-safety profile with budesonide compared to fluticasone propionate.

Combination of budesonide/formoterol more effective than fluticasone/salmeterol in preventing exacerbations in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: the PATHOS study
TLDR
The aim of this study was to investigate exacerbation rates in primary care patients with COPD treated with budesonide/formoterol compared with fluticasone/salmeterol.
Cost Effectiveness of Budesonide/Formoterol Added to Tiotropium Bromide versus Placebo Added to Tiotropium Bromide in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
TLDR
Budesonide/formoterol added to tiotropium was the dominant strategy based on a 12-week study in COPD patients eligible for ICS/LABA combination therapy in Australia and Canada, and appears to be a cost-effective strategy in Sweden.
Efficacy and tolerability of budesonide/formoterol added to tiotropium in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
TLDR
In patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, budesonide/formoterol added to tiotropium versus tiotopium alone provides rapid and sustained improvements in lung function, health status, morning symptoms and activities, and reduces severe exacerbations.
