The double-blind trial included 1,767 patients in 16 countries. When compared to formoterol fumarate dihydrate — the conventional treatment of the disease — Flutiform did not significantly reduce the annual rate of worsening condition in patients with moderate to severe COPD.
“Whilst this result is disappointing, Flutiform continues to grow strongly based on the approved asthma indication, which continues to underpin our expectations for future growth of the product,” said James Ward-Lilley, CEO of Vectura.
Flutiform reported $103.3 million in net sales for the past six months ending in June.
