Summary

This trial is testing whether CHF 5993 is more effective than CHF 1535 at improving lung function, reducing exacerbations of COPD, and improving other clinical outcomes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for COPD patients aged 40 or above with a history of smoking and recent exacerbations. They must have used stable inhaled maintenance therapy for at least 3 months, demonstrate correct inhaler use, and agree to birth control if applicable. Cancer patients, those under age 50 without COPD diagnosis, or hospital visits for COPD within the last year are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study compares two treatments: CHF 5993 (a triple combination) versus CHF 1535 (a dual combination), both containing drugs that help improve lung function. It aims to see which one better reduces lung issues and is safer over time.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include respiratory symptoms like coughing or wheezing, headaches, throat irritation, muscle cramps, dry mouth from Glycopyrronium Bromide; Formoterol Fumarate might cause palpitations or tremors; Beclomethasone Dipropionate could lead to hoarseness or oral infections.
