Novartis (NVS) Reports Positive Data On Ultibro Breezhaler

 | Sep 05, 2016 09:38PM ET

Novartis Pharma AG (NYSE:NVS) announced positive results from a head-to-head study, FLAME, on Ultibro Breezhaler at the 2016 European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress.

The randomized, double-blinded, double-dummy, parallel-group, non-inferiority, active-controlled, 52-week study affirmed that Ultibro Breezhaler is a more effective option for patients at the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) flare-ups (exacerbations) than Seretide.

Results also showed that once-daily Ultibro Breezhaler 110/50 mcg led to consistent reductions in the rate of all exacerbations. Earlier this year, the study showed that Ultibro Breezhaler was superior to Seretide in reducing exacerbations and improving lung function.
