Once-daily revefenacin when administered via a jet nebulizer with formoterol was well tolerated and associated with greater lung function response compared with formoterol alone in patients with COPD.
The adjusted rate of decline in predose trough FEV1 during 52 weeks in theResearchers used a substudy of the Phase 3 ETHOS study to evaluate lung function decline in patients with inhaled corticosteroid-containing therapies vs glycopyrrolate/formoterol fumarate metered dose inhaler.
Switching from non-extra fine multi-inhaler triple therapy to single-inhaler extra-fine inhaled triple therapy improved regional ventilation to the small airways in patients with COPD.
