Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 11 May 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
INHALE is a one-year, multi-site observational research study funded by Viatris, with two aims: 1. Determine the prevalence of both cognitive impairment and impaired manual dexterity in stable out-patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). 2. Assess the relationship of cognitive impairment and impaired manual dexterity with patient errors using current pMDIs, SMIs and/or DPIs.
