PR Summary: |
Results of two Phase III studies show that once-daily Onbrez® Breezhaler® (indacaterol) plus tiotropium produced a significantly greater improvement in lung function than tiotropium alone in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)[1], supporting current treatment guidelines which recommend use of one or more bronchodilators for treating moderate-to-severe disease[2]. |
