NCT02291016

RandomizedCrossoverTriple-blindTreatment

Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare drug delivery and lung function after treatment with formoterol from a nebulizer versus a dry powder inhaler (DPI) in patients recovering from severe exacerbations of COPD. This is to determine if one device is superior in providing better lung function and drug deposition in this clinical setting.
