Real-World study tracks COPD patients on triple therapy
NCT ID NCT05862545
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study followed 250 adults with COPD who were starting a new triple-combination inhaler (budesonide/glycopyrronium/formoterol, or BGF) in routine Italian clinics. Researchers measured how patients felt about their health after 12 weeks and up to a year. The goal was to see real-world improvements in symptoms and quality of life, not to test a cure.

Who is studied
The study population consists of adult patients with moderate to severe COPD who are eligible for BGF therapy, enrolled consecutively by physicians in specialist setting.
