New asthma combo shows promise in early trial
NCT ID NCT02296411
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท 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.
