Tiotropium/Salmeterol Inhalation Powder (Spiriva Handihaler and Salmeterol Polyethylene (PE) Capsule) in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

August 18, 2023 updated by: Boehringer Ingelheim

1-yr Study Comparing TioSal Combo Regimens Versus Single Agent Therapies (Spiriva HandiHaler and Salmeterol PE Capsule)

The primary objectives of this study are to assess bronchodilator efficacy as determined by forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), the effect on dyspnoea as determined by the Baseline Dyspnoea Index/Transition Dyspnoea Index (BDI/TDI), the effect on health status as determined by the St George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) and the effect on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations.
