Summary

The purpose of this study was to compare dynamic inspiratory flow rates achieved by a population of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients through the Breezhaler®, Ellipta® and Handihaler® dry powder inhaler (DPI) devices. No active drug or placebo were administered to patients in this study.

Conditions

  • Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive (COPD)

Interventions

DEVICE

Breezhaler®

No active drug or placebo were administered to patients during this study. Each patient were required to inhale via all three (03) study devices (Breezhaler®, Ellipta® and Handihaler®). Each patient was required to produce at least three (03) inhalational profiles via each inhalational device, following the training and demonstration for correct inhalational procedure, for each device.
