HFA Beclomethasone in Asthma, a General Practice Research Database Study: Real-life Observational Evaluation of Extra-fine With Standard Particle Size Beclometasone Dipropionate Using the Propellant Hydrofluoroalkane 134a for the Management of Asthma in a Representative UK Primary Care Population
In Brief
An observational study evaluating extra fine particle hydrofluoroalkane beclomethasone dipropionate via metered dose inhaler and standard particle particle hydrofluoroalkane beclomethasone dipropionate via metered dose inhaler for Asthma. Completed, enrolled 56,985 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study will compare the absolute and relative effectiveness of asthma management in patients on inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) maintenance therapy as either extra-fine-particle or larger-particle formulation beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP) via metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) using the propellant hydrofluoroalkane propellant (HFA-BDP), namely Qvar® MDI compared with Clenil® MDI.

Interventions
IPDI cohort intervention = initiation of intervention drug; IPDS cohort intervention = switching from baseline inhaled corticosteroid therapy to intervention drug without a change in baseline inhaled corticosteroid dose; IPDA cohort intervention = increase in baseline inhaled corticosteroid drug as intervention drug
