Fluticasone propionate/salmeterol (Advair HFA)
Marketed by GlaxoSmithKline
NCT00158834 · Phase 3 · completed
The study randomized 200 children and used double blinding with an active fluticasone comparator. Its primary endpoint was the clinical measure of asthma symptom-free days, but no results are posted, so whether that endpoint was met cannot be determined.
Salbutamol HFA-134a
Developed by GlaxoSmithKline
NCT06261957 · Phase 3 · completed
The study randomized 477 adults and used quadruple blinding with an active salbutamol comparator. Its primary endpoint was the number of participants with adverse events, but no results or statistical comparison are posted, so the outcome is currently unknown.
