Pilaster - New add on therapy to help treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with chronic bronchitis
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with Chronic Bronchitis
The purpose of the PILASTER Study is to see how safe and effective a new investigational medication is for treating COPD. The new investigational medication is referred to as CHF6001 (called the “Study Drug” in this brochure). The Study Drug is to be inhaled and will be added on to the current maintenance triple therapy taken by study participants.
For some people with COPD and chronic bronchitis, maintenance triple therapy does not adequately relieve their symptoms, which can lead to serious exacerbations. For people who still have COPD symptoms, such as the participants in the PILASTER Study, additional treatments are needed to add on to existing maintenance triple therapies.
