Head-to-head evidence
Beclomethasone (QVAR) vs fluticasone furoate/vilanterol
Same mechanism, same race: design-graded trial evidence for both assets, with the grading rationale shown. Grades describe the quality of the evidence, never the merits of either security.

Beclomethasone (QVAR)
Marketed by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries
NCT00109668 · Phase 3 · completed
This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with over 400 patients, which gives it solid design fundamentals. However, no results have been posted, and the record does not state what the primary outcome measure actually was, so the strength of the eventual evidence cannot yet be confirmed.
fluticasone furoate/vilanterol
Marketed by GlaxoSmithKline
NCT01086384 · Phase 3 · completed
This was a randomized, triple-blind, active-controlled trial with approximately 2,019 treated participants. Its primary hard clinical endpoint—having one or more severe asthma exacerbations—favored fluticasone furoate/vilanterol and was statistically significant.
