New study tracks COPD patients on trimbow: better breathing or just better compliance?
NCT ID NCT03963167
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study followed 661 Italian adults with moderate to severe COPD who were prescribed the Trimbow inhaler. Researchers measured changes in health status using the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) and how well patients stuck to their medication over 12 months. The goal was to see if the treatment improves daily life and adherence in real-world settings.
