New MRI study to see if triple inhaler opens lungs better in COPD

NCT ID NCT07192016

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 30 times

Summary

This study will test a once-daily triple inhaler (Trelegy) in 60 adults with moderate-to-severe COPD who still have breathlessness or poor health despite current treatment. Researchers will use a special MRI (129-Xenon) to measure how well air moves through the lungs before and after 12 weeks of treatment. The goal is to see if the inhaler improves lung ventilation and how that relates to standard breathing tests.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol (Trelegy) triple inhaler

What this could lead to

If successful, this study could show that a once-daily triple inhaler improves lung ventilation and quality of life in COPD patients, and help doctors better predict who will benefit most.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase (phase 4) mechanistic study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to all COPD patients. The main goal is to understand how the drug works on lung imaging, not to prove it cures or reverses the disease.
