AstraZeneca PLC said Thursday that the PT027 asthma treatment
showed significant benefits for asthma patients in Phase 3
trials.
The U.K. pharmaceutical giant said PT027--a fixed-dose
combination of albuterol and budesonide--met all primary endpoints
and showed statistically significant benefits in patients with
asthma versus individual components albuterol, also known as
salbutamol, and budesonide.
The company said the trials "demonstrate an albuterol/budesonide
rescue inhaler can address inflammation and prevent exacerbations,
making PT027 an important potential new treatment option for
patients."
