Commenting on the clinical study, Mary Fitzgerald, Argenta Discovery's executive VP of respiratory, said: "This novel combination approach has the potential to revolutionise the treatment of COPD and steroid insensitive asthma, as it is expected to restore steroid sensitivity of these severe and debilitating respiratory diseases and, therefore, provide enhanced disease control for patients".
