MRI study of triple inhaler for COPD with breathlessness
This study uses a special MRI scan to see how well a single triple inhaler works for people with COPD who have moderate to severe shortness of breath or feel their health is not good. It compares two groups: those with a low risk of flare-ups and those with a high risk, to find out if the treatment helps both groups.

Studying COPD types and treatable traits
This study looks at different forms of COPD to find better ways to treat them. It may help you understand your own condition and receive more personalized care.
Hong KongAges 40 years+ - NCT06474039RecruitingPhase 3
COPD treatment: triple vs. double inhaler for air trapping
This trial tests whether adding a third medicine (fluticasone furoate/vilanterol/umeclidinium) to a two-medicine inhaler (vilanterol/umeclidinium) can reduce air trapping and inflammation in the lungs and blood of people with COPD GOLD B. It may help you breathe better and have fewer symptoms.
