TRIple in Asthma hiGh strenGth vErsus Ics/Laba hs and tiotRopium (TRIGGER)

Summary

Evaluate the superiority of CHF 5993 200/6/12.5 µg pressurised metered dose inhaler (pMDI) (fixed combination of extrafine beclometasone dipropionate plus formoterol fumarate plus glycopyrronium bromide) versus CHF 1535 200/6 µg pMDI (fixed combination of extrafine beclometasone dipropionate plus formoterol fumarate) in patients with uncontrolled asthma under medium doses of inhaled corticosteroid/long-acting β2-adrenergic receptor agonists (ICS/LABA), in patients with uncontrolled asthma who received medium doses of ICS/LABA. The treatments tested the improvement of the forced expiratory volume in the 1st second (FEV1) and the reduction of moderate and severe asthma exacerbations rate.
