Brief summary (registry, in English)

TRICOLON is an investigator initiated, prospective, interventional, open-label, randomized, real-world, multi-centre, 3-arms study in the Netherlands. The primary objective is to investigate in COPD patients if single-inhaler triple therapy (SITT) is superior to multi-inhaler triple therapy (MITT) in terms of adherence to inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) therapy and to investigate if SITT with e-health support is superior to MITT and SITT without e-health support.
