Albuterol Sulfate (Provenetil-HFA)
Marketed by Amphastar Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
NCT00634829 · Phase 3 · terminated
Proventil-HFA serves here as the active reference product against which the investigational albuterol-HFA is compared in a secondary analysis, while the trial's main comparison is between the investigational product and placebo; no results have been posted yet.
Next expected readout: April 2028 · NCT07426458 (registry estimate)
Salmeterol (DISKUS)
Marketed by GlaxoSmithKline
NCT00395304 · Phase 3 · completed
This was a rigorously designed, fully blinded, randomized crossover trial with a clinically meaningful composite primary measure, but the results available here do not show how the fluticasone-plus-salmeterol arm specifically compared with the other step-up therapies, so the salmeterol-specific effect cannot be confirmed from this data.
Next expected readout: June 2027 · NCT06676319 (registry estimate)
