Triple Therapy Convenience by the Use of One or Multiple Inhalers and Digital Support in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Summary

TRICOLON is an investigator initiated, prospective, interventional, open-label, randomized, real-world, multi-centre, 3-arms study in the Netherlands. The primary objective is to investigate in COPD patients if single-inhaler triple therapy (SITT) is superior to multi-inhaler triple therapy (MITT) in terms of adherence to inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) therapy and to investigate if SITT with e-health support is superior to MITT and SITT without e-health support.
