NCT ID NCT06828120
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed Phase 4 trial tested two mucus-thinning drugs, Taneasy and Fluimucil, in 45 adults with COPD. Participants took the granules twice daily for 14 days. The study measured how well the drugs helped clear mucus and improve breathing, using the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) score. The goal was to see if Taneasy works as well as Fluimucil for symptom relief.
