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.
Salbutamol HFA-152a
Developed by GlaxoSmithKline
NCT06261957 · Phase 3 · completed
The trial randomized 477 participants and used quadruple blinding with an active salbutamol comparator. Its primary clinical safety endpoint was the number of participants with adverse events, but results are not posted, so whether the primary comparison was favorable cannot be determined.
