Head-to-head evidence
fluticasone furoate/vilanterol vs GW642444H
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.

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.
GW642444H
Developed by GlaxoSmithKline
NCT00381667 · Phase 2 · completed
The study was randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, but enrolled only 14 participants. Its primary outcomes included lung-function and safety measurements rather than a hard clinical endpoint, and the primary comparison cannot be assessed because results have not been posted.
