Effect of Tiotropium on Airway Remodeling in Patients With Early Stage COPD Accessed by Optical Coherence Tomography

September 27, 2022 updated by: ShiYue Li, Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Disease
The study aims to explore the effect of tiotropium on airway remodeling by using Endobronchial Optical Coherence Tomography (EB-OCT). We enrolled patients with GOLD I stage COPD. All the patients will be divided into four groups randomly to receive SABA as needed with or without regular use of tiotropium. Changes of airway morphology (accessed by EB-OCT), pulmonary function, QOL, and SABA usage will be obtained.
