THARROS Trial Summary

This trial aims to show that using a combination inhaler called Breztri/Trixeo can improve heart and lung health in people with COPD and high risk factors compared to using a different inhal

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with COPD who are at high risk of heart and lung complications. Participants should have a history of exacerbations or evidence of heart disease. They must not be currently experiencing a flare-up or have other significant health issues that could interfere with the study.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if Breztri/Trixeo, which combines three types of medication (ICS/LAMA/LABA), can improve heart and lung outcomes better than Bevespi, which combines two medications (LAMA/LABA) in those with COPD at high cardiopulmonary risk.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include respiratory infections, hoarseness or throat irritation, coughing, dry mouth, muscle cramps, possible pneumonia in patients with COPD, increased intraocular pressure and worsening narrow-angle glaucoma.

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Evaluate the effect of combination triple therapy (BGF MDI 320/14.4/9.6 μg) compared with dual bronchodilator therapy (GFF MDI 14.4/9.6 μg) on severe cardiopulmonary outcomes in a population with COPD not receiving ICS.
Secondary outcome measures
Evaluate the effect of combination triple therapy (BGF MDI 320/14.4/9.6 μg) compared with dual bronchodilator therapy (GFF MDI 14.4/9.6 μg) on severe COPD exacerbations in a population with COPD not receiving ICS.
