Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and tolerability of the fixed combination beclomethasone/formoterol pMDI with that of fluticasone/salmeterol pMDI in patients with moderate to severe asthma


Clinical Trial Description

Asthma is a chronic disease that is estimated to affect over 25 million people both in the U.S. and Europe (i.e. approximately 10% of the total population). Pharmacological therapy is used to treat reversible airway obstruction, inflammation and hyper-reactivity. Medications include preventive treatments in forms of antinflammatory/antiallergic agents (i.e. glucocorticosteroids, leukotriene antagonists, cromolyn sodium) and reliever treatments, in form of bronchodilators (i.e. β-adrenergic agonists, anticholinergics). In patients treated with inhaled glucocorticosteroids whose asthma is not fully controlled, national and international guidelines recommend a stepwise approach. Recent evidence-based clinical trials show that the addition of a LABA to inhaled glucocorticosteroids is more beneficial in terms of asthma control than increasing the dose of corticosteroids alone.

Comparisons: CHF 1535 (BECLOMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE 100 µg + FORMOTEROL 6 µg) pMDI VIA HFA-134a compared to FLUTICASONE 125 µg + SALMETEROL 25 µg pMDI (SERETIDE®) ;
