About this study
Official title: Non-interventional, Open-label, Prospective Study to Assess the Effectiveness of BDP/FF/G Fixed Triple Inhalation Powder on Symptom Scores in Moderate to Severe COPD Patients, Uncontrolled With Inhaled Dual Therapies (LABA/LAMA or ICS/LABA)
The goal of this observational study is to measure improvement in health related quality of life in moderate to severe COPD patients treated with Trimbow inhalation powder. The main question[s] it aims to answer are:
- Treatment's effect on quality of life
- Treatment's effect on lung function Participants will be assessed according to routine clinica practice, without any additional intervention.
Read the detailed description
COPD is a severe and very common disease affecting a large proportion of smokers (and even non-smokers) all around the world. With the large prevalence and wide spectrum of disease presentation (from limited obstruction to life threatening conditions) there is a need for differentiated, targeted approach to therapy. For this purpose, plenty of inhaler devices had been developed. Chiesi is the only company which provides fix triple combinations in both DPI and pMDI formulations. While there is ample data from multiple studies on the real-world effectiveness of the pMDI, there is a relevant gap in our knowledge on the RWE effectiveness of the DPI device Trimbow dry powder inhaler is a novel extrafine, single inhaler triple therapy, in a state of the art dry powder inhaler, which is easy to use and may provide additional benefit to a large proportion of COPD patients. However, there are only a limited number of studies assessing its effectiveness, especially in patients with moderate airflow obstruction. Providing more real-world evidence that Trimbow® dry powder inhaler is an effective and preferred treatment option in reducing symptoms and improving lung function in all COPD patients, would help pulmonologists choose the most suitable treatment option for a very wide array of patients.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of COPD, run by Chiesi Hungary Ltd. at 39 sites in Hungary.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Sep 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 39 sites in Hungary. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
COPD Assessment Test (CAT) (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Sep 2025.
