Results from TIOSPIR™ (Tiotropium Safety and Performance in Respimat), one of the largest global chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) trials ever conducted, will be presented for the first time at the Annual Congress of the European Respiratory Society (ERS), in Barcelona, Spain, September 7-11, 2013.
The highly anticipated three year TIOSPIR™trial assessed the relative safety and efficacy of the two marketed SPIRIVA® formulations –SPIRIVA® Respimat® Soft Mist™ Inhaler 2.5 µg (once a day, 2 puffs§) versus SPIRIVA HandiHaler® 18 μg.** TIOSPIR™ included more than 17,000 COPD patients from 50 countries and, with broad inclusion criteria, featured a real-world study population that closely reflected the types of COPD patients physicians see every day. Boehringer Ingelheim is pleased to be sharing these results with the scientific community at the ERS Annual Congress, the largest respiratory meeting in the world.
