New asthma combo shows promise in early trial

NCT ID NCT02296411

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether adding a bronchodilator called glycopyrrolate bromide to a standard steroid inhaler (Qvar) helps people with uncontrolled asthma breathe better. 98 adults with asthma took either the combination or a placebo for 6 weeks, then switched. The main goal was to measure lung function over 12 hours. The results could point to a new treatment option for asthma that isn't fully controlled by steroids alone.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

glycopyrrolate bromide (an inhaled bronchodilator)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a new combination inhaler that helps people with asthma breathe better when their current medication isn't enough.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase study (98 people) testing short-term effects only. The added drug may not work for everyone, and long-term safety or benefit is not yet known.
