IKANOS Trial Summary

The study tests if starting on Breztri (a combination of budesonide/glycopyrrolate/formoterol) right after hospital discharge can reduce the risk of being readmitted within 90 days compared to other non-triple inhaled therapies for COPD.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Breztri may cause side effects like pneumonia, thrush in your mouth and throat (a fungal infection), chest infections, coughing and hoarseness. It might also lead to an increased heart rate or changes in blood pressure.
