Head-to-head evidence
fluticasone furoate/vilanterol vs Olodaterol
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.
Olodaterol
Marketed by Boehringer Ingelheim
NCT00467740 · Phase 2 · completed
The study randomized 296 participants to placebo or one of four olodaterol doses, but the registry does not clearly report whether treatment assignment was blinded. Its primary outcome was a lung-function surrogate rather than a hard clinical outcome, and results were mixed across doses: only olodaterol 20 micrograms significantly improved trough FEV1 versus placebo at 4 weeks.
