NCT04004117

RandomizedCrossoverQuadruple-blindTreatment

Summary

There is actually no physiologic or clinical data in the literature to clearly define the potential benefits and side effects of sublingual fentanyl in patients with COPD. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that sublingual fentanyl will improve exercise capacity and dyspnea control in severe COPD patients experiencing persistent breathlessness despite optimal management.
