Novartis to present data from three clinical trials

Novartis announced that a wealth of new data from its respiratory portfolio will be presented at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress, September 6-10, in Munich, Germany. In total, 44 abstracts (including four late-breakers) will be presented by Novartis, representing more than any other company at the congress.

"Novartis is committed to making a difference to the lives of millions of people worldwide living with debilitating conditions, such as COPD and severe asthma," said Vasant Narasimhan, global head of development, Novartis Pharmaceuticals. "We hear from patients how their lives have improved because of our respiratory medicines, and this motivates us to continue to advance respiratory treatments in our portfolio."

Positive new results from the phase III head-to-head LANTERN study showed the superiority of once-daily, dual bronchodilator, Ultibro Breezhaler (indacaterol/glycopyrronium bromide) in improving lung function compared to twice-daily Seretide Accuhaler (salmeterol/fluticasone combination: LABA/ICS), in patients with moderate-to-severe COPD.
