New inhaler combo could slow lung decline in smokers at risk of COPD

NCT ID NCT07595796

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

Summary

This study tests a triple-combination inhaler (budesonide, glycopyrronium, and formoterol) in 23 smokers aged 40-75 with PRISm, a lung condition that often progresses to COPD. Participants will use the inhaler twice daily for 12 weeks. The goal is to see if it improves lung function, symptoms, and quality of life, and to check for side effects. This is an early, small trial with no placebo group, so results will be preliminary.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Budesonide/glycopyrronium/formoterol inhalation aerosol (a triple-combination inhaler)

What this could lead to

If this trial works, it could point toward an effective treatment for PRISm, potentially delaying or preventing progression to COPD.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early-phase trial with only 23 participants and no comparison group, so results may not be reliable or generalizable. The treatment may not work or could cause side effects like cardiovascular events.
