Avaliação da eficácia e segurança da associação de budesonida e formoterol em dose fixa e cápsula única no tratamento de asma não controlada: ensaio clínico randomizado, duplo-cego, multicêntrico e controlado

Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a fixed-dose, single-capsule budesonide-formoterol combination, in comparison with budesonide alone, in patients with uncontrolled asthma. Methods: This was a randomized, double-blind, multicenter, phase III, parallel clinical trial, comparing the short-term efficacy and safety of the combination of budesonide (400 µg) and formoterol (12 µg), with those of budesonide alone (400 µg), both delivered via a dry powder inhaler, in 181 patients with uncontrolled asth… Show more

“…The authors emphasized the importance of flow rate in drug discharge from the inhaler. (12) In the present study, the delivered fine particle fraction of budesonide and formoterol was 45% and 56%, respectively, when using the Aerocaps® inhaler at a standard flow rate of 90 L/min, compared with 54% and 52%, Brazilian Journal of Pulmonology (10) showed the clinical efficacy of budesonide alone and of the budesonide/formoterol combination contained in a test formulation. To date, there have been no clinical studies directly comparing the ingredients of a test formulation with those of a reference formulation.…”
