Article Synopsis
- The study was a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that investigated the effectiveness of a sublingual immunotherapy tablet for treating house dust mite allergies in patients with mild to moderate asthma.
- The trial included 604 participants aged 14 and older, who were divided into groups receiving different dosages or a placebo, with the main goal being to reduce inhaled corticosteroid use after one year.
- Results showed that those using the highest dosage of the treatment had a significant reduction in corticosteroid use and improved quality of life scores compared to the placebo group, especially among participants with partly controlled asthma.
Objective: To assess preference, satisfaction and critical errors with a novel, breath-actuated, multi-dose dry powder inhaler (DPI; Genuair®/Pressair™), versus a widely used, single-dose DPI (HandiHaler®) in patients with moderate-to-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Methods: In this randomised, open-label, multicentre, cross-over study, patients (aged ≥ 40 years) inhaled placebo once daily through both inhalers for 2 weeks in addition to current medication. The primary end point was percentage of patients who preferred Genuair to HandiHaler.
