TLDR
Once-daily QVA149 provides significant, sustained, and clinically meaningful improvements in lung function versus twice-daily SFC, with significant symptomatic benefit, indicating the potential of dual bronchodilation as a treatment option for non-exacerbating symptomatic COPD patients.

Indacaterol–Glycopyrronium versus Salmeterol–Fluticasone for COPD

TL;DR: Indacaterol-glycopyrronium was more effective than salmeterol-fluticasone in preventing COPD exacerbations in patients with a history of exacerbation during the previous year and showed not only noninferiority but also superiority in reducing the annual rate of all COPd exacerbations.

Dual bronchodilation with QVA149 versus single bronchodilator therapy: the SHINE study

TL;DR: Dual bronchodilation with once-daily QVA149 demonstrated superior and clinically meaningful outcomes versus placebo and superiority versus treatment with a single Bronchodilator, with a safety and tolerability profile similar to placebo, supporting the concept of fixed-dose long-acting muscarinic antagonist/long-acting &bgr;2-agonist combinations for the treatment of COPD.
