Panelists discuss how the ENHANCE trials assessed ensifentrine in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with moderate-to-severe airflow obstruction and a history of exacerbations. Outcomes showed improved lung function and reduced exacerbations. Clinically, ensifentrine may be used as monotherapy or an add-on, addressing diverse patient needs.
Ensifentrine is recommended in the 2025 GOLD Report as a bronchodilator to improve dyspnea. Ensifentrine is also suggested as a potential anti-inflammatory therapy in stable COPD.
What were the main patient eligibility criteria and clinical outcomes in the ENHANCE trials?
How do you anticipate that ensifentrine will be used in clinical practice (ie, monotherapy, add-on, both)?
