Head-to-Head COPD drug battle: which one keeps patients out of the hospital?
NCT ID NCT04069312
Summary
This study aimed to find out which of two existing medications—roflumilast or azithromycin—is better at preventing severe flare-ups in people with severe COPD. It involved over 1,000 adults with a history of recent hospitalization for COPD. Participants were randomly assigned to take one of the two drugs daily and were followed for up to six years to see which group had fewer hospitalizations or deaths.
